I was asking an employee in the pedal department about the Q setting of a pedal’s filter and he had no idea what I was talking about.

They can’t hire people with more experience?

I’ve been playing guitar for a long time and I haven’t a clue what the Q setting is. And you are appalled a sweetwater employee doesn’t know? I think you might be expecting too much.

What is this "Q setting" you speak of? ?

I'd like to know where all these fucking good paying jobs are. Now, I make 85k a year, but am not happy. I run a business with lazy Outside Salesmen not bringing in new business and I'm tired of beating a dead horse with ownership...

Long story short, there's NOTHING out there that pays remotely close. Maybe that's just Florida, but there's just nothing out there. I'd have to take a major pay-cut if I moved on..
 
Trades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc) or sales. Esp in Fl—always a shortage of good contractors there.
 
Generally people who are good at jobs like that move on to something that pays better.
 
The problem is that the places with the highest-paying jobs also tend to have the highest cost of living.
 
If OP isn't a troll, he's a fucking nightmare of a person.

I think people in this thread are also missing the original point of the post. Knowing what a Q is and knowing the Q of every individual pedal on the floor are entirely different worlds.

You might as well expect them to be an electronic engineer.

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and google it, boomer.

But in all reality, I'm not taking OP seriously because I can't believe someone would make said post in sincerity.
 
Welcome to Seattle…we’re starting you off at $35/hr but your rent is $1900. Oh mortgage? We can get you into a decent “little” home for no more than $2800 a month.

It was such a weird, specific question I thought he was taking the piss at first.
 
Hmmmm. So the guitar guy from Rig Talk asked another guitar guy (store clerk) about a control and NEITHER of them knew the answer. So I guess OP wouldn’t be qualified to work the sales floor either ? (according to op)

If you figure out where to find one, let me know. :ROFLMAO: I would take a job paying half of what you make if I had solid health insurance.

Q, it’s hard to explain even though you know what it is. For electronic circuits, Q is defined as the ratio of the energy stored in the resonator to the energy supplied by a to it, per cycle, to keep signal amplitude constant, at a frequency where the stored energy is constant with time. It’s just not or how wide the frequency is or where it crosses over, it is a very complicated thing when you get into it. There might be one or two of us that didn’t know that. How’s your calculus?

Over the 60 years that I’ve been alive I have found the people who think they know everything, know hardly anything. I doubt Einstein died knowing how to clean a toilet, how to milk a cow or how to play guitar like Jimi Hendrix. He was smart, but there’s a limit to how much anyone knows.

That's awesome--I'm older than you and didn't know what it was !! LOL!!
 
Literally everyone knows the Q setting is right between the P and R. Idiots.
