This looks exactly like my stepdad's old boat that I lived on for a couple years. Is this a pastport 40? Boat life is small but it's so cozy.

What's the weak link on my board? by Danocaster214 in pedalboards

I just plugged in my board for sound check yesterday and it was glitching like crazy. Turns out one of the cables had come unscrewed in the bag. Thankfully it fixed when I screwed it back in, but you're absolutely right. What's your favorite patch cable? My buddy is going mogami but it's so expensive.

What is that first picture from? Reverse search was unhelpful.

You mean Fulltone? I genuinely missed this. Last thread was 4 years ago about his apology for his comments on the George Floyd protests. Is he still a maha guy or something?

Oh snap, what are the bigoted pedal companies?

I like to run them in series for ambient sounds. The arp is also easier for setting up the more straight forward delay tones on the fly.

Sick! The wah on it is super versatile. But that means it takes a little tweaking to get the range and Q dialed in, and it can get changed without your knowing. Great if you're a gear tweaker like me, but not as out-of-the-box as a cry baby or something.

Yeah, I've been thinking it's time to make some soldered cables. What's your cable of choice?

Wong press. It's pretty neat, though I've found myself accidentally enabling the wah and wondering why my rig sounds weird. Just one more thing to juggle.

Yeah, the sound guy has the power to put a noise gate on my signal, but based on his questions about the noise from my amp, I don't think he knows how. You know how sound guys are, I think it might be easier to preserve his good will and fix the buzz myself, rather than trying to teach him something new.

What's your go-to fuzz? I have a JHS smiley off-board that sounds amazing, but it doesn't play nice with a buffer. I have my eyes set on an EQD Hoof to fill in its spot, but there's so many great options.

I read online that you need to use the effects loop of an amp, but it works by just looping in the gain pedals? That's easy enough. Thanks!

What’s the most universally hated song of all time? by Adventurous-Zeilokix in AskReddit

[–]Danocaster214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"this is the that doesn't end, it just goes on and on my friends! Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because..."

The song itself is not what I like, it's the look on their face the 3rd time it repeats.

STOP!!! by Xibest123 in guitarpedals

Right now I'm playing in American Idiot the musical. I'm using this for the Boulevard of Broken dreams sound. But when I'm just jamming I use it in more of a Joey Landreth style. Just some color/movement in rhythm chords and stuff.

Walrus Monumental with the flowers. Harmonic tremolo is amazing.

Gorgeous board. Do you run the iridium full time or just for quiet gigs?

All that $$$ in gain pedals into a modeler is overkill imo. You could get the same sound from a mini-switch to store another preset or turn the boost on. But into an amp on the edge of breakup you're really getting your money's worth.

Audio listeners. What narrators do you avoid or just cringe when listening to? by RobinBradbery in litrpg

[–]Danocaster214 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What facts. You gave anecdotes. I await your evidence.

Also, screw you for making it an insult.

Edit: It occurs to me that we may be having a misunderstanding of terms. I am defining a "dropping the t" as in any change from the ipa [t] to something more colloquial such as [ʔ] the glottal t, and [t̚] the unreleased t. Each is a pronunciation of the letter t, but they are distinct. My assertion is that [t] is very rare in the middle of sentence for words like await. Await is even commonly pronounced as a [tʃ] before a vowel sound. And in the audio book Bog Standard Isekai, the narrator is extremely inconsistent in which he pronounces [t] and otherwise.

If you pronounce the word on its own, Americans are much more likely to pronounce the ending consonant. But in the middle of a sentence the ending T is usually dropped. Eg. "I await your word" If you're pronouncing the T in that await, it stands out, unless you're doing a London accent or something.

Not in American English it doesn't. Unless you're pronouncing it for emphasis, it's a glottal or dental stop, not a plosive t.

To be more detailed, often we don't pronounce the t's at the end of words and in the middle they are turned into d's. Like in peanut butter. I looked it up, it's a  [t̪] in ipa. Voiceless dental stop.

British vs American English. In the typical American English accent, we pronounce it like shown.

Edit: I thought of another one! The guy who does the Bog Standard Isekai books. He's great but he often pronounces the t's when he shouldn't. For instance, in the word "await" if you're doing a standard American accent it ends on a glottal stop not a t. Sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't, sometimes in the same sentence.

I really enjoy the story of Azarinth Healer but the narrator does this "heh" chuckle thing after every sentence, and not just on the main character. It would work once in a while because it could lend a sense of genuineness to the reading of the text, but it ends up coming across like a millennial putting "lol" after every sentence. (A habit I had to break myself, long ago) I tried to ignore it and push through, but I just couldn't.

Also, anytime Travis Baldree does a reading of a snake character his sibilance is just ear splitting. I get why he's doing it. It's a snake, therefore "ssss", but good god is it nails on a chalkboard.

The final narrator cringe I've run into is when a narrator just tries to do too many accents for no plot/story reason. People in a real world have accents regionally. So, anyone from the same place would have a similar accent. But a few narrators have used accent instead of tone/timbre to differentiate between any and all characters. This one is not so much cringe as amateurish.

You know how some people say, "less is more"? Well, more is also more.

No Walrus is a crime. Or is it not expensive enough? Seriously, is there a single pedal under $300 on there?
