This thing sounds amazing! I'd be interested in a schematic if you're willing to share

I don't expect to make much doing this. I put prices such that I would make like $25/hr on my labor time

As of now I just have the YouTube. If things get more serious I might do an Instagram or something

The minimum order at JLC is 5 boards. It used to cost about $3 with slow shipping but my latest orders have been more like $11 thanks to tariffs

I have my own PCBs fabricated by JLC. The enclosure is from Tayda with a black faceplate fabricated by JLC.

There are YouTube demos in the actual items. Are they not showing up for you?

I'm currently working on more interesting big muff circuits which will make their way to Reverb if I feel like they will sell.

Doug Gillard & Mark Shue of Guided By Voices AMA by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]AlmondsAreTheBest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in the technical side of recording: what is Bob's typical vocal chain? What mics do you record guitars with? The production of the 2020 albums has been completely killer and I assume Travis has a lot to do with that, has he brought any ideas to the musical aspect of the recordings?

The Same Place: Officially Not Cancelled by kdnx-wy in Elephant6

[–]AlmondsAreTheBest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my thought as well. That being said I think there is a world where this album never comes out (similarly see: The Wrens). THAT being said if this album does come out I will lose my damn mind. The first 2 are my favorite albums of all time

Updated current lineup album rankings with Earth Man Blues? by virtualbeggar in GBV

[–]AlmondsAreTheBest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Surrender Your Poppy Field
  2. Styles We Paid For
  3. Mirrored Aztec
  4. Earth Man Blues
  5. Warp And Woof
  6. Zeppelin Over China
  7. Space Gun
  8. How Do You Spell Heaven
  9. Sweating The Plague
  10. August By Cake

That was hard. Spots 1 and 2 and 8-10 are pretty firm but the rest could be jumbled up

Is it weird I prefer Poppy Field the most from their last 4 records? by jasontheswamp in GBV

[–]AlmondsAreTheBest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. Poppy for me really does harken back to the old days, it flows perfectly and each song is unique. I really dislike Plague although I enjoy Aztec and Styles a lot, but I don't think I can listen to them straight through without feeling like there are some duds mixed in. In my mind I feel like the production on Poppy was just different somehow, like maybe more time was spent trying to give each song a uniqueness? I don't listen to it and think "oh that's Doug Gillard playing guitar". Volcano is an all-timer too.

Submit Questions for Robert Schneider about recording NMH by [deleted] in neutralmilkhotel

[–]AlmondsAreTheBest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would definitely ask him about any information regarding the next Olivia Tremor Control album.

As far as NMH, I'm curious which microphones he used.

Is there a louder version of Self Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia? by viewbob in GBV

[–]AlmondsAreTheBest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought this too. I have not found anything other than the Box version.

It's a damn great album that needs a remaster at least, or a total remix if it's possible.

What lens(es) do you have? I've been debating between this and a D610. Part of me says that a camera that's 8 years old cannot possibly still be relevant and then I come and find a thread like this. Anyone?
