The first point is a good one even if you don’t have the sound on a particular album or albums you are shooting for. I sure don’t shoot for the sound of a particular album but I do consider references to try and focus myself mentally/aurally when I am going to record or mix something. Depending...

This will be unusual for the board and I was not expecting it myself, but over the weekend I saw Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit in Atlanta and the opener was Tommy Prine (son of the late, great John Prine). A guy named Josh Halper was playing lead for Tommy and his tone was absolutely killer. I...

I would put them in whatever is the larger 2x12 probably. I have some modern g12-65’s and currently trying them in a more compact 2x12 and find they don’t sound as good as when I had them in my oversized 2x12. In the smaller cab an almost wah pedal like midrange is emphasized somehow.

It’s definitely not an “apocalypse,” it’s not even yet back to where prices were relatively pre-Covid. It’s funny because the guitar “boom” was of course not going to last, but people are very irrational about things like this. It’s the same with financial markets. It doesn’t matter how many...

This is very interesting. I had a JJ100 for a while and I liked a lot about it but eventually got bothered by the impression of there being what’s akin to a low pass filter over the sound along with a too soft attack. If it has the same deal with the resistor on the treble pot I would have...

The only purpose I see for this kind of thing is muzak/generic soundtrack creation or potentially generating things like background vocals. Then again, a lot of popular music today is already about as devoid of creativity, meaning and feeling as if it was AI generated.

I’ve never seen nor heard of them. A ‘57 yes and a ‘62 yes both from that period but not a ‘67 FSR Deluxe.

I know, that’s what they say, it’s what the platform essentially dictates in order to be relevant. But if so, Youtube itself is poisoning its own well. As a viewer I don’t care why, it’s just shitty to see constant copycat stuff, especially when it is just kind of obnoxious in nature to begin...

It’s very annoying how blatant and obvious it is that everyone copies any and everything that gets any amount of traction - all the way down to making the same dumbass faces on their thumbnails. If I see a clickbait title and some dipshit making an overdone smug face or open mouthed OH MY GOD...

lol 24/7 cable news and social media bubbles have totally deranged some of you people. I think if the grid would go down and you didn’t starve to death, for some people it would be like waking from a dream to not have these things pumping propaganda into their pea brains day in and day out.

My problem with the Fishman Fluence stuff is the ones I’ve tried are insanely bright, like strat bridge pickup bright. They’re improved if you activate the “high frequency tilt” on the pickup’s circuit board. I do otherwise like the Keith Merrow sig model Fishman pickup.

If it hadn’t been mentioned, a good place to buy Chinese tubes is Nesstone. They sell rebranded Chinese tubes, supposedly unique to their specifications but I don’t know if that’s true or not. I do know I have used their Nesstone EL34’s, KT88’s and 6L6’s and was happy with them.

Russian tubes have gone sky high but some Sino tubes are still reasonable…ish. Russian tubes have gone high enough that I only had to spend a little more than the price of a new pair of EHX 6V6 to get NOS RCA blackplates. Preamp tubes are downright nuts. I have a bunch of Chinese 12Ax7’s and...

I didn’t know that but that might explain at least part of it. I actually got that package delivered today although the tracking hadn’t even updated the last I checked. It got to the Fairburn sorting facility fully a week ago before it got lost in limbo.

So increased workload with decreasing resources - a recipe for success!

Maybe part of the problem is almost everything coming to me gets processed in Atlanta first.

No, there's no guarantee but that is very different from routinely having packages get lost or sent on wild cross country detours. No exaggeration, it is nearly every time, especially in the past year or so. What's particularly funny is I don't usually have any problem if I send something...

A recent package I had coming to me here in GA ended up in Puerto Rico, where it bounced back and forth between two locations for a week before eventually making it back my way. A buddy of mine up in Louisville just told me he ordered something from a business across the river in Clarkesville...

For years I used USPS Priority regularly to ship smaller items. It was always reliable and a good value, that is up until about two years ago and it has just gotten worse. I am not exaggerating when I say almost every single package I have shipped or had sent to me via USPS Priority in the past...

Yeah and what was all that pompous “Nobody is above the law!” all the politicos have been huffing and puffing about? Aiding illegal “immigration” is literally a federal crime, but of course the federal government violates its own laws all the time and who can hold them accountable? Biden put a...
