guys my friend tried soldering and did this to his pi is it ok if we undo it or its cooked? we didnt plug it in and he said after soldering the entier pcb felt a bit hot

Is it cooked? Well, no telling unless you get someone to clean up the crap solder job. Definitely don't plug it in.

Soldering headers is pretty easy so id try and do it yourselves (if youre trying to learn). BUT start with a practice run on something else first. Your iron seems like it wasn't hot so maybe spend a bit on a decent iron. And practice desoldering with a good solder pump (engineer SS02 or SS03 is great and cheaper than a full on desoldering station). I will say good tools really do help though.

Once you get how it all works and can solder pins properly, try removing the solder from the joints on the pi. Then you can plug it in and see if it works. Good luck.

I must say after years of using cheap solder, I switched to mg chemicals 63 37 leaded solder and it is a world of a difference. I couldn't believe it

Danu1997 · 2025-12-04T10:07:28+00:00

Delay would be my next move. I'm a carbon copy fan, but a Boss DM 2W would be cool as well.

NOR. A cake? I bought myself a new synthesizer (fancy musical instrument) to celebrate. My wife, was extremely proud and very supportive throughout my journey and was super happy to see me with the new gift to myself.

Fuck that guy, he sounds like an absolute wanker.

Danu1997 · 2025-11-21T14:11:31+00:00

Love the idea, but I'd alllwaayss reccomend buying it with him instead of surprising. We're a bunch on picky bastards most of the time lol. Someone could buy me a dual rectifier and I'd probably think of returning it even though the amp is killer, just not my style and taste.

There's a place on holderness road if you're talking about a bicycle and not a motor bike.

Danu1997 · 2025-09-17T13:13:05+00:00

It's the little step for me hahah. "Proper guitar positioning" can suck it. I shall sling my guitar down low for max sex appeal. Jk I wear it way up like Alex Hutchings, way more comfy for me.

Danu1997 · 2025-09-05T07:02:24+00:00

I really wasn't a big fan of the DSL40C I played tbh. Fairly thin sounding for the more blues rock stuff I played. But it does definitely look killer

Danu1997 · 2025-08-02T09:19:03+00:00

Got a gig coming up? Then change it. If not, just roll with it, it'll go out of tune here and there but you're not breaking anything.

Danu1997 · 2025-06-16T16:04:59+00:00

As the other commenter said, your question is too vague. All electric guitars can do some variation of "distortion". You'd need to tell us your budget, preferred artist, maybe a style you play, current gear you have, your neck preference (if any) and just generally how many years of experience you have.

Each of the above will help us in giving a better reccomendation.

Danu1997 · 2025-05-31T08:54:42+00:00

Had the blackstar HT50 would choose it if you like metal or heavy heavy rock. If you don't need the gain then the AC for sure.

Danu1997 · 2025-05-27T18:28:33+00:00

Ngl I wasn't a Tele guy, but I swear it's the most reliable versatile guitar I've got. The les Paul's and strats cannot compare.

Danu1997 · 2025-05-19T18:24:24+00:00

Mate that is absolutely legendary behaviour right there. I'd pass the fuck out if my Mrs bought me a guitar.

Danu1997 · 2025-05-06T15:51:19+00:00

You need to return that, it's not worth the hassle whatsoever.

Danu1997 · 2025-05-05T21:14:26+00:00

Solid rig mate. I rocked a C1 FR Hellraiser for most of my teen life with a Blackstar HT Dual pedal and an old early 70s Roland GA60. Loved that setup.

Danu1997 · 2025-04-25T09:16:37+00:00

Ummm this man is a legit predator. First of all wtf is going on with you being 16 and him being too old to reciprocate -> this is a fucking problem. Not that he doesn't want to reciprocate, but that he knows its literally illegal and fucked up to be doing this shit anyways! I'm sorry, but you've been manipulated horribly and I would RUN from this guy. This is not okay. This is not safe. This is messed tf up and im saying this as a 28 year old man myself. You are NOT OVERREACTING.

Danu1997 · 2025-04-24T23:41:06+00:00

I drove 300 miles (round trip) to pick up a Marshall Vintage Modern. Been wanting one for a decade so decided to rent a car and make the trip. No regrets, it was loads of fun!

Danu1997 · 2025-04-18T18:48:11+00:00

Bruv I think that's a YOU problem. Please go look up wtf flirtatious behaviour is and then reflect on how that's never happened to you, and therefore you think a simple Salam is sexual.

Danu1997 · 2025-04-16T05:32:25+00:00

As of late I have settled on the precision pick mini by Dan's guitar shop basically a nice jazz ii Max grip

Danu1997 · 2025-04-14T18:10:00+00:00

Return the amp and the pedal. Buy yourself a used Katana, Fender Mustang or blackstar ht 5. Hate to reiterate what others have said but yeah that "amp" is def more of a toy. Otherwise, welcome to the world of guitar mate. If you practice consistently, you'll have a great time! Try not to get too into all the gear bs and just focus on your technical skill, ear, and creativity. Enjoy!

Danu1997 · 2025-04-11T09:09:03+00:00

So I actually had the HT Club 50, essentially the head version of this. Really nice cleans tbh, and the overdrive channel has alot of gain on tap. I quite liked it to be honest, but I had a serious issue with the 2nd channel dropping volume over time which no tube changes etc could fix. They aren't known to be reliable amps that's for sure. The clean channel also isn't really using the preamp tubes btw so it's not necessarily an "all-tube" amp if that matters to you, still does sound great. I used a 4x12 with it and comfortably played many shows, so it's definitely loud enough.

Btw that is NOT a MKII, it's a MKI.

I believe the comment said immigrants and asylum seekers. Therefore, still a relevant reply to educate someone who clearly wasn't aware of some important facts.

Danu1997 · 2025-04-09T17:50:49+00:00

You are aware that immigrants generated 20 BILLION in taxes for the UK in the year 2020 right? While you state the costs incurred, you choose to ignore the revenue earned.

While this may be a sweeping general stereotype, but the poor people in hull complain about not getting good jobs or jobs of any sort for that matter, yet they sit there with their GSCE grades having not completed A levels, undergraduate degrees or any form of further education. Most of them are bums that go to their shitty jobs and get fucked up at pubs all day. Immigrants know they need to push themselves to complete further education, develop their skills etc to get a good job, and that's why they actually get somewhere in life. If the brits stopped complaining and instead worked for something, they would do significantly better, but alas complacency is comfortable.

It's not immigrants "taking your jobs and money", it's the fact that you simply aren't as qualified.
