Title. Beautiful song. Just watching the Live in Paris DVD.

I have no compass/I have no map/I have no reason to look back

4-5 bad poos a day. Gassy for 2 weeks now. Any advice?

I am thinking of getting one as a travel guitar to pair with a pocketmaster. I have other full size guitars. The prices for the hush x seem to be varied online.

Do people recommend any alternatives ?

As titled. That cool lounge swagger.

Thankyou

Seem as a guy to be amazing. Feels better then ever. What's the go there? 40 years old

My IdeaPad520 has the slow hdd. I am not computer savvy but I understand to fix it I need a 2.5 inch sata ssd.

I am seeking recommendations

I am looking at

orico y-20,

pny cs900

Fanxiang 2.5" SATA 512gb

Or if anyone has any other ideas

Thankyou

And what was your experience? Positive/negative/indifferent? I am finding them very hands off and poor communication

If only it had different lyrics. Otherwise the music itself is great, but the lyrics are cringe

I was hoping to see some pedalboards people had made themselves and if anyone had some easy instructions on how to make?

Ive put this together so it's searchable should anyone encounter the same issue in the future to help them solve it.

Keywords: DigiTech RP-20, RP20 Valve, won't boot, frozen screen, dead battery, CR2032, factory reset, Wait for flag FF, RAM corruption, no display, preset lost, initialisation failure

Symptom: Unit would not boot normally after battery replacement. Display showed "20 VALVE" frozen, or "Wait for flag: FF" loop, or asterisk screen with no response to button presses.

Root cause: The CR2032 battery-backed RAM lost its contents when the battery died. The unit couldn't complete initialisation because the memory validity flag (FF) was gone and the standard reset procedure wasn't completing.

Important warning before you start: This is not a quick fix. The full recovery process took approximately 3 hours with multiple crashes, freezes, and restarts along the way. Be patient — persistence is the key.

What worked:

Replace the CR2032 battery first — essential foundation step.

Hold <Utility> while powering on. This was the key boot method that got the unit to a working state. If this doesn't work, try holding <Preamp> or <Effects> instead — different button combinations produce different boot screens and one may work better than another depending on the state of your unit.

Expect multiple failed attempts. The unit crashed and froze repeatedly during the recovery process. Every time it froze, it required a power cycle and another restart holding one of the above buttons. Don't give up — keep trying.

Once booted, complete the expression pedal calibration when prompted — push pedal to toe-down position and press (1) then heel-down position and press (2).

Navigate to Utility → Next Page repeatedly until you reach the Factory Reset page (Page 13) and execute it. This properly reinitialises the user RAM and clears the corruption.

The factory reset displays a block pattern writing across the screen. This can take several minutes to complete — do not touch anything or power off during this process. If it appears to stall for more than 4-5 minutes with no change, it has likely crashed and you will need to power cycle and start again.

After the factory reset completes, power off and back on normally.

Expect further instability even after the reset. Initially the unit may only load 1 preset, then a few more on subsequent attempts, before gradually increasing. In this case the unit progressed from loading 1 preset → 2 presets → around 8 presets → eventually all 100, with freezes along the way. Each power cycle and restart seemed to stabilise it further.

Eventually the unit booted cleanly, all 100 factory presets loaded correctly, footswitches and Data wheel functioned normally, and it has remained stable since.

Summary: The corrupted RAM recovers gradually rather than all at once. Multiple restart cycles appear to be part of the process. If it freezes, restart it. If one boot button combination stops working, try another. It will get there.

Larry's work on the EPs and this new song are the most interesting parts he has had in....well forever I think. Even if the mixing isn't good the break, surgery and recovery has done him some good.

Yes. 8 days in and my tummy is growling for food even when I've had a decent bite to eat. What's going on here? I am eating more than usual and I am not a thin guy...

And if you have a link available please post it here...
