It's 9:30am on Christmas morning here in Hong Kong, so I wanted to wish all the RJM faithful a very Merry Christmas, or the very best greetings of the season if you don't celebrate Christmas (I can't abide the saccharin and generic "happy holidays"). However close to plan 2013 went for you (it...

Shameless plug. My new single "Tick Talk" is now available from CD Baby. I'd really appreciate it if you'd share the link with people who might be interested. You can stream it from my SoundCloud page. It's a ballad that was written by a friend who I played with in my first proper band, Some...

I know the day's on the wane now, but hope all you in the US had a great Thanksgiving. And that you're not Packers fans. Oh dear, that was a game...

I've had a problem with my Y-Not for quite a while, possibly as long as I've had it, but it's never been an issue before. However, since I've bought a couple of fuzz pedals, it's started to become an issue for me. Basically, my Y-Not works great with the buffer turned on, but turn it off and it...

Is it possible to power both a Y-Not and a Switch Gizmo from the same high-current tap on a Pedal Power 2? I know each RJM unit says it requires 150mA, and the PP2 only puts out 250mA, but I wonder how accurate these numbers are? Planning something interesting, and don't know whether to go for...

I'm probably being a bit dense here (Monday's a 12+ hour day for me), but basically I'm looking to use my Y-Not in such a way that the A output is always on, and I step on a footswitch to turn on the B output. If I'm reading the manual right, a single footswitch just connected to the RING...

So 2013 is looking like it could be a fun year. Got two new band projects on the go, a straight-ahead hard rock band called Misaligned and a funk rock jam band called MARZ, as well as continuing to do stuff with Voyager Project. And I've been busy building a new rig to handle all this. It's a...

One of my Mini Effect Gizmos has a buzz. It's most odd, because it's self generated noise, even if nothing else is plugged into it (just power and a cable from the MEG to the amp), but it sounds like a ground / earth buzz. My other two do not exhibit this problem, so I was able to swap the buzzy...

RIP Junior Seau

Last week, in March, it was 70+ degrees and glorious sunshine. This morning, 4th April, we've got howling gales and driving snow. It's about 30 degrees. Freak weather ain't the half of it. Madness.

I've been looking at expanding my guitar rig for a while, and with the new year came the time to do it. It's still a stereo rig using my two Tweaker heads, and my pedalboard with Morley Bad Horsie, Morley Little Alligator and RJM MasterMind, but it's the rack where the changes have happened...

... no not the Shakin' Stevens song (although I did sing that at a recent Christmas gig!) Just wanted to wish everyone in the RJM family worldwide a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope your holiday season is peaceful, safe and full of joy. Remember, if the Mayans are right, it might...

My band Voyager Project recorded our follow-up to last year's debut Where Angels Fear To Tread earlier this year, and after much tweaking, mixing, remixing, and saving up to have it pressed, it's finally available! It's called We're Not Alone and it's a bit more proggy, a little less heavy, and...

Last night we celebrated the 10th anniversary of my "other" band, The Timber Merchants. We went back and played the very first venue we ever performed in, at Newnham College in Cambridge. We're a 6-piece band, so our stage setup is pretty involved: I took my usual rig of Egnater Tweakers, 4U...

Just wanted to wish Ron a very happy birthday, and to say thank you from all your customers for all you do for us! Have a beer or two on us :)

After having used my MasterMind in preset mode exclusively since I first got it (a long time ago), I've been playing with it almost exclusively in IA mode for the last few weeks, as I've been playing mostly church and theatre stuff rather than with a band. I effectively have 7 possible IAs from...

Been meaning to do this for a while - all part of my new streamlined rig that's in process. As I'm playing mostly studio and theatre sessions at the moment, there's often not room for my big board (and I don't often need monitors and a mic stand set up). So I looked into the cost of buying a...

Is there an easy way to restore a MasterMind (for instance, if you bought one used like I did with one of mine) to factory settings? I guess a blank SysEx bulk dump file that I could drop into it using MidiOX would do the trick.

I've been thinking over the past couple of days how useful it would be to have, in a small 1/4U box, basically a partner unit to the Mini Line Mixer. Basically the splitter bit for feeding effects, so (in stereo) inputs, three switchable sends, and a dry output. That way you could connect the FX...

I could have just emailed this, but someone else might find it useful. OK so the Mini Effect Gizmo has two inputs (buffered and unbuffered) and two outputs (standard and Click Stopper). I guess my questions are... does one input take priority over the other? Would it do any damage to have both...
