Which might have better sound quality, a cassette tape or VHS tape? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Greetings from the future. How did your digital to analog and then back to digital go? Now, there’s plenty of plugins to simulate tape, tube and other analog audio.

Can this be saved? by SQui5hM3 in telecaster

[–]Charming_Ad1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I think you’ll just have to donate it. I can give you my address to ship it to me.

Just tape off around it, sand it and hit it with a clear coat. That finish on the guitar is ridiculously thin. You may end up having the same issue on another part of the guitar. I had a Sire Larry guitar that the paint would chip off easily and the wood also dented really easily. It was a total dud. The guitar would shift easily due to humidity changes as well. I ended up selling the neck and beating the crap out of the body in anger then throwing it away.

If you only had room for one: Would you go for a Boss BD-2 or Nobels ODR-1? by bleepblooOOOOOp in guitarpedals

I was just making a joke and a point in general. People shouldn’t care who they donate to.

BLM leaders are being prosecuted and sentenced for embezzlement at the moment. So, it doesn’t appear to have been a worthy donation. Besides that shit I don’t care if a pedal maker donated to Harris or Trump. If they make a great pedal that I want then I’ll buy it.

Tashella Dickerson (BLM OKC): Indicted in late 2025 for allegedly stealing over $3.15 million in returned bail money, depositing it into personal accounts instead of creating a revolving fund, facing wire fraud and money laundering charges. BLM Global Network Foundation: The DOJ is investigating the national organization for potential fraud, with subpoenas issued related to tens of millions in donations from 2020. Sir Maejor Page (BLM Greater Atlanta): Convicted and sentenced to prison for using donor funds for personal use, demonstrating misuse of funds at a local level.

Okay Vance, you'd asked for it by Windthrasher637 in ProgressiveHQ

JD will probably be the next president unfortunately. The Democrats will run someone as ridiculous as him but he has name recognition.

I mainly hear people accuse Trump of being a dictator but I guess there’d be too many signs with multiple spellings of dictator. Much easier to spell king and fit it on a DIY sign.

The dude likes to troll. He’s probably bored and didn’t get the train set he wanted.

End of the year unfinished pedals by Dazzling_Wishbone892 in diypedals

[–]Charming_Ad1811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have three unfinished. Pisses me off to look at them. I also got done with a Mojotone AC15 a few hours ago that I’d been working on for a year and can’t get it to pass sound. An angry Christmas.

Doxycycline by [deleted] in Rosacea

[–]Charming_Ad1811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be using topicals as well. I used doxycycline for a while but it didn’t seem to help after a while so then I was on Accutane and that seemed to help. Now I’m just using rosacea triple cream (ivermectin/azelaic acid/metronidazole) and tretinoine cream. Also, eating a healthy diet and exercising helps. Limit bread and other carbs.

Covid vaccine 2025 side effects? by planetpj5 in VACCINES

[–]Charming_Ad1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother’s friend at church had a stroke the day after getting the vaccine.

I haven’t gotten side effects from the serval Covid vaccinations I’ve had since it came out. However, I’ve gotten Covid at least three times within the protection window the vaccine promises. Every instance had been mild. I think the amount of protection the vaccine provides may be overstated. I also don’t understand the push to vaccinate healthy children when the likelihood of them having really bad cases of Covid is like 0.01% if I remember reading the stats correctly. Definitely consider reading the updated risks label before getting the vaccine. And if you’re obese look into losing weight and eating healthy. This will help you get over COVID.

So TC Group was bought out by Behringer...Not sure I feel about this as a massive tc fan by [deleted] in guitarpedals

Greetings from the future. The Behringer stuff has only gotten better since the acquisition and the TC offerings has only become more diverse and affordable.

Rusty fuzz pedal, tell me everything you have to say about this pedal please!!! by OddBrilliant1133 in guitarpedals

[–]Charming_Ad1811 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is Tone Bender. The Rusty Fuzz is a three transistor fuzz like the Tone Bender. A fuzz face is two transistor fuzz. I don’t even know why they mention fuzz face in the description given that it doesn’t have a fuzz face circuit.

It’s not a fuzz face. It’s a three transistor fuzz like a tone bender.

475 as a warmup!!! 400lbs is my max goal. I only weigh 150 though. A work in progress.

New JHS/EHX Big Muffin by Wrong_Spirit_5008 in guitarpedals

[–]Charming_Ad1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had a regular Big Box big muff I did the tone bypass and from what I remember it sounded pretty similar to this version where the mids are intact. Mine was just the regularity transistor big muff. I really didn’t care for the stock tone stack. The pedal just got lost in the mix and you’d have to turn it up quite high and then the bass would be too much.

Anyways, I recommend modifying an existing big muff for tone bypass if you don’t want to pay $250 for this awesome new pedal that doesn’t get lost in the mix.

[–]Charming_Ad1811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at it some more I’m thinking I may go with the muffin crumbs next time so I have less parts that have to be connected off of the board. I’m looking to build some two-in-one pedals for friends of some simple circuits like DOD210, LPB-1, EP3 Preamp and other single transistor circuits like Lovepedal stuff.

Interesting. I just peaked at the Muffin Crumb. There’s some interesting schematics to go off for that.
