We've talked about this several times. Let's get some idea of what, where and when.
I'd like:
- Short demonstrations of how people set up and use their modellers.
- The opportunity to play through other people's kit. I accept that this may have to be through headphones.
- Time to talk.
What we need for that is one large room/small hall, projector and screen to show editors, parking space, food and beer. Location can be any where within the centre of the country, i.e. the box cornered by Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, and London.
When is going to be either a Saturday or Sunday. It's not Gasfest, so I'm not proposing an overnight. We should avoid the school holiday period. I'd prefer to do something soon, i.e. the next two months.
What would you like?

Programming a standard set of sounds - clean, crunch, lead and adding a delay or modulation
Adding an expression pedal (if required - more Fractal, Kemper stuff) e.g. for wah
I wouldn't mind seeing people demo their units and obviously, if time permits, it would also be nice to plug in and have a try.
A recent Basschat Day I attended was at a school and that proved to be an ideal venue. Any caretakers, teachers etc or anyone with good connections to one of these who can get preferential rates?
Being London/Surrey-based, I'd be willing to come slightly further afield (outskirts of the M25) so location will probably be the clincher for me.
If I can make it though, I'll happily bring my Kemper over.
I use a Helix through an active FRFR PA cab. I'd love to hear the same thing into an amp or in 4CM - I know lots of people do that but I haven't been able to try it.
I think headphones only would be a waste - maybe a running order of demos, then the rest of the time headphones?

I know it's a bit chicken & egg - if you set the locaiton first, that can rule people out due to distance. But if you set the location first, that can encourage sign-up because people know where it'll be!

It's got good facilities if the location would work for potential attendees.
Quad would be an easy choice. If successful then we could do the same thing at other locations.
But I am WELL up for this and to come demonstrate my gear. Be great to meet some of you nutters.
