I'm a long time fan of the old boring Big Muff, expecially the green russian version. The EQD Erupter also surprised me positively: I'd never thought that one big knob for the bias control could give so much range.
XD everything was fine until I got the Ironheart, now I need a bigger pedalboard I reckon.
But also I'm afraid that if I get a bigger pedalboad I'm gonna get more pedals...
I got stuck because the kit I was trying to build was missing a potentiometer and I didn't notice until after posting the first video. I still have to order the right one off ebay, I plan to get back to it but IDK when
I'll upvote anything as long as it has a blues driver in it
If you need a FOSS, cross platform GUI for bootable USB sticks, Raspberry Pi Imager is a really good solution.
It is mainly used to flash SD cards for RPIs, but also you can burn any ISO on any support with it.
If I were you I'd split just the bills and groceries.
If you'd break up someday (God forbid), the property is still gonna be yours, so there is no point in making her pay any kind of rent.
It's called the Arcadiator, from Parasit Studio, an indie pedal company.
It's basically a Fuzz with the possibility to tweak various parameters (octaves, LFO, wave shape...) in order to make it sound like an 8-bit console.
I bought it as a DIY kit from Musikding and it's one of my favourite pedals ever since it can do anything from basic gated fuzz to synth-like sounds to playing the Tetris soundtrack
Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it for sure
Is this my landlord?
Not sure how to embed images from mobile
Lemmy uses MarkDown and the syntax for images is:
Turns out like this:
There's a thing in movie writing that's called the suspension of disbelief which is the mechanism of being involved in a story by "what do I have to believe in order for the movie to make sense".
SW3's premise is the classical hero's adventure, where the main character undergoes a journey of betterment. And in this particular case, if you already are the best there is no journey.
John Wick's premise is "this guy is going to kill everyone" frome the minute one, you just sit down, switch your brain off and enjoy what he's doing for the next two hours.
It's not about the sex of the character, is about how the character is written.
I learned about the existence of this book almost one year ago and the story is pretty fun:
Do you remember this guy?
If you do you grunt when you get up from the chair. If you don't, this was a meme from 2009, when the internet was a way different place.
This meme came back to my mind last year, when I was talking with a friend and they didn't remember it, so I googled it and found out that his name was Gerry Alanguilan and he was a comic writer from the Philippines. And I found out that the guy, other than being a renowned inker both for Marvel and DC, also drew and wrote Elmer, a satyrical and dystopian story staged in a world where chickens become sentient.
The plot was so appealing that I started deep diving to find about this book I never heard about: the worldwide promotional tour for this comic had to be cancelled due to a sudden illness of the author, so it never took off and remained pretty obscure and hard to find, expecially in Europe, where it had a limited printing but only in France and UK.
I managed to find a copy on eBay last month that could be shipped here and now I'm glad I can finally read it.
Always braid your cables kids, it helps with shielding
As I said in the last post I made, I had the intention to upgrade the guts of my newly bought guitar. I switched out potentiometers and pickup selector for something that wouldn't feel as cheap, added a coil split mode through push/push pot and added a treble bleed to brighten up the tone. Everything I needed I found on Thomann.
Here's the schematics I made with DIY Layout Creator, which is a really cool piece of free software that I can only recommend if you're into this sort of stuff. You can find it on FlatHub as well.
Did a walk-in tonight and I picked the most beautiful of them all
... but I had such a good deal with this guitar that I couldn't miss the opportunity.
I started being interested in this kind of design since Squier reissued the Toronado in its Paranormal series, based on an old Fender model discontinued in '06.
And I found out that Ibanez gave such a design a chance in 2012 with the Roadcore Series and in particular with this mid-tier model: the RC320.
While searching some information about it, I found a listing of a guy selling one not far from where I live. It was a really, really good bargain so I ended up buying it.
The guitar is a distillate of features from all the most iconic guitars manufactured in the last century: it has a mahogany body and humbuckers like a Les Paul or a PRS, an offset shape like a Jazzmaster/Jaguar, a 648mm scale and a bolt on maple neck with rosewood board like a Stratocaster, but with a flat radius and the crazy low action only Ibanez can make.
And as an upgrade, the previous owner installed a couple of Blues Engines pickups, that have a very apt name given the warm tones they produce.
I have in mind over the next months to upgrade the electronics and since the humbuckers are splittable, add a push/push potentiometer to experiment with an alternative configuration. I'll try to post some pictures of the job.
Following the post of this week, I'm really happy of how it turned out.
Now I can retire my old Beringer TO800
