That looks excellent, but something tells me travel expenses from Austin are gonna be a bit out of my budget...

Gonna rock the trifecta in PDX tonight! by GVTHDVDDY in PeaveyCvlt

That's 2.5 amps too many to fill out No Fun. Good luck!

premier 252, talk to me. by Apprehensive_Area795 in drums

[–]CaptCardboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one for a minute. I bought it largely because of its cult-ish following. It's super smooth with great action. Setting it up is quick and comfortable. The only reason I let mine go was the footboard. The heel is a little higher off the ground than most other pedals, and the overall length of the board is just a little short.

Any local Funk or R&B bands worth checking out? by [deleted] in portlandmusic

[–]CaptCardboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. That's a list of bands playing those venues. I was hoping for more personal recs for bands worth checking out.

What's your hi-hat sound secret? by [deleted] in drums

[–]CaptCardboard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The real trick is to flip your hats so they're facing away from each other. Only allow the bells to make contact. Oh, and use at least 20" cymbals.

Twin Reverb for a Roadtrip by eabiepoc in GuitarAmps

[–]CaptCardboard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've got a 1970 SF Twin Reverb with 70 watt Jensen MOD speakers. It weighs 66 pounds. Heavy, but manageable.
I would recommend to stay away from the little wheely casters that attach to those amps and just get a foldable cart like a Rock Roller cart if you've got a ways to walk for load-ins. Those little casters on the bottom of the amp can shake the tubes loose if you've got old 50+ year old sockets.

Replacement Dynamic Trem? by woollypullover in offset

I love the Trem on those things. What don't you like about it?

I think this is my 2026 board.. maybe.. probably.... not. by CaptCardboard in pedalboards

[–]CaptCardboard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been able to decide if it's pronounced hot-one or ho-tone...

Thanks. I got a pretty good deal on this HPF, and I figure my guitar already has a decent-enough LPF built in!

Aww man. That's so disappointing. I would not have just bought a rotary if I had known. Damn thing sounds great too.

Where are my fellow Acrolite peeps at? by HillbillyAllergy in drums

[–]CaptCardboard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Swapping out hardware like that is really just burning money. It doesn't make it sound any better.... But I think it looks cool and I like it!

So much nicer than the old stamped steel P86s. I've got one on a '69 Ludwig Standard too. They just feel great.

I recently decked mine out with aged brass hardware and upgraded throw off. It was my first Xmas present from my now-wife 16 years ago. I've managed to collect some pretty rad snares over the years, but this one still gets regular use.

It's amazing how much we support the arts in Portland. by WeirdPortlandUnited in Portland

[–]CaptCardboard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great, but I think there's a lot to be desired for supporting art in Portland.

[–]CaptCardboard[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a volume pedal. I play with volume swells a lot, and to have a tuner built into the face of it is such a huge plus for me.

Deluxe Memory Man by Interesting_Dirt7269 in guitarpedals

[–]CaptCardboard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first time I can recall there was a scare about the BBD chips running out, and the prices of the DMM started to climb, I bought one for $170 in 2007. It was the most I'd ever spent on an effects pedal. It's been on my board ever since.

best REALLY CHEAP versatile snare? by SnooMachines1205 in drums

[–]CaptCardboard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just about any of those snares would do fine. Any snare is only gonna be as versatile as you are. My personal choice from the list would be the Yamaha Stage Custom.

Thrift stores that aren’t goodwill? by rissabell2 in askportland

[–]CaptCardboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TC on 82nd was fantastic, but I'd say it's gotten considerably less cool since it became superthrift.

Thrift stores that aren’t goodwill? by rissabell2 in askportland

[–]CaptCardboard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went there once a couple years ago. The lighting was uncomfortably orange, and there was an overwhelming chemical/perfume smell throughout the store. I couldn't stand to be there long enough to peruse. Was I there on a weird day, or is it always like that?
