If it was too loud for her then maybe she could have ****ed off and walked away perhaps Nobody else seemed bothered about it

Also I would hardly say he was taking up the entire pavement. Good on him for trying to make money

I didn't see him begging?

At least he's giving people a reason to give him money unlike most who just expect it

Beggars just SIT there VOCALLY begging. Buskers sing or play music or juggle, and deliver a service for which they welcome any donation from appreciative members of the public, but they do NOT beg.

I enjoy buskers - some of whom are excellent - but I do not enjoy being harrassed by beggars.

I agree. Perhaps they'd prefer someone who 'clutters up the pavements' just long enough to just nick the old biddie's handbag and scarper with it ?

Arista do you even know what a delay pedal does?It does'nt boost up the sound.It creates repeats of the sound that is played to create an echo.You can use it to repeat what you've just played or just to create a slight ambience.Maybe you're thinking of a clean boost pedal or an overdrive or distortion pedal which both do boost the sound and/or create either preamp or power amp compression.

It can double the sound
which creates a boost.

Of Course he has a great deal of Amps
and pre -amp
so they boost as well

If it was that bad and causing any real disturbance he would have had the Police on the case.

I would guess she just didn't like the music he was playing.

So ignore it and walk on by would have been the more appropriate thing to do.

Even if the delay pedal did boost the volume(which it does'nt) it could only go as loud as the amp can.Turning the master volume down on the amp would fix that.
Once an amp hits a certain volume level(its limit)then all that adding boost/OD pedals will do is add more compression I.E a more distorted sound.Guitar amps have a volume limit and once it hits that limit no pedal will actually increase the loudness just the compression.Now most boost/OD pedals do have a volume control to adjust the balance between the volumes of the pedal and the dry amp sound but even then it can't go louder than the amps limit.
In short if it was too loud then the problem was'nt the pedal it was just the fact that he had his amp set too loud.A delay pedal with a volume control(which most don't)only affects the volume of the echo effect but delay pedals don't boost the guitars volume.

Anyone noticed when he is singing he's not even as loud as when the lady from the audience interjects?...

[Crimson Dynamo]

He certainly did not get permission to block a legitimate rate paying business window display

that is for sure

[Northern Monkey]

After watching again his mic does have an echo effect on but that would'nt be the problem either if it was too loud.Just his PA volume.

getting back to the original title of the thread. If a public performer is too loud, it is up to the police to take the appropriate action, not some random member of the public. We have the police for a reason

its not for a member of the public to arbitrarily decide if a performer is breaking a bylaw, unless she also went armed with calibrated decibel measuring equipment?

Police are also available on the phone you know
