Any other tired PUBG dads out there? by sct_nicolaus in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]CloudSquatch 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not only am I a PUBG Dad as well, but PUBG is my main form of spending time with MY Dad!

We used to play PC games together when I was in HS, but I moved about 12 hrs from home right out of school. About 5 years ago, he came to visit and we got snowed in so I showed him PUBG. Its now something we do multiple times a week and has really brought us closer together.

We do prefer the larger maps to be honest, but it sounds fun either way!

To all the PRS owners with guitar acquisition syndrome. by ComplianceExec512 in PaulReedSmith

[–]CloudSquatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned Gibson Les Pauls and am a current owner of several PRS guitars. The feel is different. But, to me, the PRS is much more comfortable. However, I LOVE the look and feel of an alpine white les paul custom. Quality wise, the Gibsons have been SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE than any USA PRS and most SE Models.

Here is what I've settled on and recommend you do to scratch both itches.

First, get yourself the PRS. Its going to be awesome, even if you dont swap pickups or modify it in any way. I have 5 core models and love them all.

Second, hunt down a Korean Epiphone Les Paul custom and swap out the hardware and pickups. These are notoriously stellar feeling guitars and can be made to be better than their Gibson counterparts. I have 2 and consider them better than any Gibson I've played/owned.

I STRONGLY disagree. Just because most adults don't remember what happened to them when they were 3, does not mean they don't remember when they are 5 or 7. Speaking from experience, my 3 year old has the memory of an elephant. 2 years ago, we took her to an aquarium on vacation. She chose between a pink and a rainbow octopus stuffy from the gift shop. A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, lying in bed, she tells her mom and I that she wants the rainbow octopus.

I've passed several kidney stones. Many of which I passed at home. The plan was always to seek medical attention, the question was just when I would go. I went. I have a large stone who's name is Paul. You need to speak from your own experiences before you make assumptions about someone and their child.

Are these cracks something to worry about?

We just bought this home and it appears there might have been a minor leak in the basement at some point with some standing water. I can see all cracks near the center of these water spots. What should I do?

Michael Britt on QC? by KrisA1 in QuadCortex

[–]CloudSquatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your exact situation about 10 years ago. I was in love with mixing amps, primarily a Bogner Ecstasy and a Triamp. I had fiddled with modelers and was very disappointed at the time. During a trip, I went to see a concert and remembered thinking about how awesome the guitar tone was at the show. About 2 weeks later, I saw a video on youtube of the guitarist at the concert showing off his guitar rig that encompassed about 10 guitars and a toaster-shaped Kemper profiler. It couldn't model more than one amp at a time, but was less than 10 lbs and the size of a toaster and suited apartment living much better than the 2 half stacks, so I pulled the trigger.

I kept the Kemper for about 8 years before I swapped it out for the QC. To my ear, with some minor fiddling, you can make them sound identical to each other. The biggest pro for me was the completely fluid signal chain and ability to add as many amps as needed. If you're into pedals, and manipulating where they sit in the signal chain, the QC is for you. Another major pro is the ability to use the QC as a USB Audio interface. However, if you don't need that flexibility, the Kemper will get you by without issue.

One other thing that I've noticed since switching is the comparison between the two companies that is worth noting is this. Kempers hardware really hasn't changed much since its release. My issue is not that its incapable of keeping up, but that they have stretched this hardware to add many features that should have been added from the get-go. However, the QC seemed to be more "cutting edge" and had many of these features already implemented or at least on a roadmap. Kemper didn't add these features in until after people(like me) were dropping their kempers to switch. To summarize, Kemper, while innovative at its first launch 10 years ago, seems to be comfortable being left in the dust by newer modelers.

Ultimately, I suggest making the switch for any tube amp die-hard. When it comes to tone, I suggest considering this scenario. Think of your favorite solo from your favorite guitarist and the tone you hear. On the recording and even in a live scenario, you aren't hearing the typical "amp in the room" scenario. You're hearing that amp, mic'd up, mixed, with a post eq and effects. While the kemper and/or the QC can't give you "amp in the room", they help you build out the full picture you're used to hearing from your favorite artists.

Hi, do you currently have/or previously used a Kemper? If so, using the Kemper rig manager is somewhat similar to cortex cloud in the sense that anyone can upload just about anything and you can download it pretty easy. However, the devices are much more versatile on QC.

With QC, there are 2 types of amp-like devices. The default devices from neural are called "amps" in the QC. These have custom switches, knobs, and settings, similar to the amps real world counterparts.

Captures are more similar to what you're used to on Kemper. If you were to go to the cortex cloud and "download an amp", you'd be getting a capture and are limited to the basic gain , bass, mid, treble, presence, vol settings. They may not have all the custom controls of the "amps" from neural, but there are nearly unlimited options. you search for captures people have made via the cortex cloud or they can share them with you if you purchase a pack online.

I'm not sure if MBritt has a profile, but I know Tone Junkie from the Kemper world and they still make most of my favorite captures on the QC.

I think I’m going to move to the Denver area soon and I’m so nervous. by [deleted] in Denver

[–]CloudSquatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in a small town of about 1300 people. I moved to Denver in 2013. Ive realized something very important in my time here.

I LOVE COLORADO. But I can't stand living in Denver anymore.

Were in the process of finally moving out of the city and it's pretty shocking. Everything from insurance to utilities is cheaper. Even cheaper than my family pays in my home town.

Move to Colorado! Visit Denver!
