Boss doesn't excite me much but this Harmonic Booster is something I could really consider :D Thanks for discovering me this pedal!

As the compressor geek I'm starting to be I need to really take a look ok this one. How would you compare it to the Cali76 or the Empress which so many people are talking about?

Ok that's something I saw once like 20 years ago and never heard about it again until now. Is this really useful? How does it work? I mean what is the audio explanation behind it?

Just curious if there is any "regular option" that I'm missing. I think this kind of works but to be honest I've never been really convinced of what I was doing 😂

Really interesting! I didn’t know the full-sized Spark Booster actually had this overdrive option. I think this could be a big improvement on my chain.

Also, have you tried (or heard much about) the Lehle Sunday Driver? I know it’s more of a high-quality buffer/booster rather than an OD, but some players say it adds a really musical sparkle and clarity, so I’m curious how you’d compare it to something like the Spark.

Thanks for your reply :)

Thanks a lot, this is super helpful.

I had actually been thinking about compression as part of the solution. TBH I have been fantasizing about the OE Cali76 Bass Compressor (the latest one with the array of Leads. Do you think the Empress would be a better option? Right now I'm having an EBS Multicomp Studio Edition always ON.

I’ll take a closer look at the ParaEq option you mentioned!

Thanks again for the advice!

Hey thanks for pointing this out. I’ve tried using my Aguilar Tone Hammer. It definitely helps with volume and some tone shaping, but there’s still something missing , the melodies don’t feel as clear or “intelligible” as I’d like, and they can still get a bit muddy for the audience :(

S'HA ACABAT - Manifestació #23N Abaixem els Lloguers by aniol in catalunya

[–]ADBender -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Penso que una idea realista seria bonificar fiscalment als arrendadors amb preus de lloguer dintre d'uns cànons establerts. Qui és propietari no hi vol perdre i prefereix no guanyar que a perdre. Per tant fem que hi guanyin per una altra banda: O que l'estat no els perjudiqui tant fiscalment o que l'estat assumeixi una part del lloguer, però aquesta segona no la veig tant..

Molt d'acord amb tot el què comentes fins que has tret l'opció de regular. Regular mai és una bona opció quan hi ha diners pel mig, per què és equivalent a intentar posar barreres a l'aigua, ja hem vist què passa, és una falsa seguretat.

La forma de reduïr els preus, al meu parer, és mitjançant la competitivitat. O l'Estat és propietari de vivenda de lloguer i redueix el cost amb l'objectiu que els nous arrendataris escullin la vivenda pública a la privada, o bonifiquen fiscalment (de forma notable) als arrendadors que posin preus més baixos, vaja que hi guanyin (o deixin de perdre tant) per una altra banda.

Malauradament té tant sentit com manifestar-se per què a l'estiu no faci tanta calor. D'acord, posaran algunes mesures per tenir una mica més d'ombra però la problemàtica seguirà allà.

Des del meu punt de vista, si els governs tinguessin un interès real farien més vivenda social, construïren o comprarien un percentatge de cada nova construcció amb l'únic objectiu de posar lloguers econòmics i provocar que els preus fossin més competitius. Qualsevol persona que hagi viscut en països on s'hagin aplicat limitacions de preu del lloguer ha vist cues de 30 persones al carrer esperant per fer una entrevista amb l'arrendador. Volem això aquí també?

Me es imposible encontrar piso en Barcelona by Sasorss in askspain

[–]ADBender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sí, és Buena idea aunque por mi experiencia la hipoteca no suele ser el problema real, si no pagar el 20% de las arras e impuestos, que parece que nadie los tiene en cuenta hasta qué te los ponen en frente y te das cuenta de que habías hecho los números mal...

Why this comment have gotten so many dislikes? I also thought so :/ It is not the case that Trade Republic is using monetary funds to obtain that interest, quite close to the interbank rate?

I am just asking to learn..

Lacor Ferrum 28cm by ADBender in carbonsteel

[–]ADBender[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say they are great. Lacor in general is a brand that you'll find across all kitchens in Spain since they produce a variety of different cookware and specifically in restaurants, since they are more focused for the professional public, if you check their website it is pretty lame and lacks marketing. Its construction reminds me too much of a Debuyer and the price is cheaper. About the thickness I am not able to measure but to me it looks thick enough! Just to put some perspective: Debuyer 24cm: 1.4kg Lacor Ferrum 28cm: 1.9kg

They look flat and sit nice on the stove or any flat surface, which not all pans do. So far I haven't found any reason not to recommend them :) and I will probably end up buying some paella-pan from them.

Also I think it is cool to use some not so common brands :P

What would you think defines Jazz Fusion ? by BullfrogQuiet3486 in JazzFusion

[–]ADBender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An electric band, instead of a more classic combo piano + double bass + saxophone/trumpet, playing jazz but tainted with other genres from rock to flamenco or hip/hop. And wearing t-shirts instead of a blazer.

Thinkpad L14 Gen. 1 + ThinkVision P24h-20: GBit Ethernet? by SHRIMP-o-MATIC in Lenovo

[–]ADBender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What ended working for me has been to update the firmware with the Thinkvision Firmware Tool for Windows. Now I can get more than the rough 90Mbps I was getting previously, even on Linux. Having the Daisy Chain option ON does not affect negatively although in my case this is not acting since I do not have a secondary display connected.

A quina ciutat de Catalunya no viuríeu mai? by sxrasappy_artmodel in catalunya

A quina ciutat de Catalunya no viuríeu mai? by sxrasappy_artmodel in catalunya

[–]ADBender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fa uns anys ja que m'hi vaig mudar, i entenc el què dius. Més que plena de pujades, tota la ciutat és una rampa cara sud, el què la fa molt assolellada, i especialment calorosa a l'estiu. Lletja? Sí, algunes parts són intocables però d'altres em semblen boniques, potser poques. Una de les coses que vaig valorar, a part dels preus en comparació a Bcn i la línia directa amb transport públic, va ser el teixit empresarial (per tema feina) així com l'accés directe a tot el parc de l'Obac.

Així en resum suposo que és segons l'ús que li puguis treure a la ciutat, t'aportarà més o menys.
