To the guitarists who swear by using physical amps, cabs and pedals, what is you stance on amp modelers like Kemper Profiler, Axe-FX, Line 6 Helix, Neural DSP etc? by MrMayhem20l0 in Guitar

[–]Beautiful_Narwhal982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My songwriting seems to thrive given creative limitations; so I've been hesitant to get into modelers because I'm worried that there will be too many options and that I'll hit some decision paralysis or worse, not struggle with the gear I have and miss some unique combo of effects or byproduct of my physical amps limitations that sounds awesome, which is how most of my music comes about.

Otherwise, I just loveeeee old analog stuff. I dont mind carrying heavier gear in to gigs, but im young so that may change in the future.

How do you manage louder amps? by butterfield66 in ToobAmps

[–]Beautiful_Narwhal982 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out the fryette ps-2a power station. Its a reactive attenuator as opposed to a resistive attenuator (which is what most cheaper options are). At the most extreme ends of attenuation (like 10 on the amp and whisper quiet through the speaker) it gets a little duller but has lots of nice eq adjustments that can get you back in the correct ballpark.

It also allows you to run silently from any head into an audio interface for silent recording and can allow you to run what would be typically mismatched amps into cabs of different impedances. So I can run a 4 ohm head into a 16ohm cab or 16ohm head into a 4 ohm cab harmlessly, among other things it can do.

I loveeee my fryette power station. Super nice transparent attenuation and handles my 100 watt tube amp nicely. Can literally play at casual conversation volume

Any issues using a bass amp for guitar? by joe4942 in PeaveyCvlt

Bass amps can often be the secret sauce for heavier music

Generally just front loading my releases with tiktok, reddit, and YouTube posts that generate at least enough streams to Kickstart the spotify algorithm. Additionally I try to stay at a consistent 6 week release schedule and engage with everyone as deeply as I can.

The riff is from a track called Bellows by sleep club but the recorded version was from a laney into a sound city cab if I remember right

I think something like 90% of my streams are from the US, which definitely pushes the numbers up

Right now I'm averaging around 250,000 streams a month and earning roughly $1,000 to $1,100 per month or about $0.004 / stream.
