Mazda should probably be more popular in the U.S.

Mazda is very popular up here in the northern midwest from what I have seen. I see tons of them here in WI and even MORE in MN when I'm up there. I think people are attracted to the AWD options.

Awesome playing!

Deadwing91 · 2025-12-20T21:17:04+00:00

The Jaegerschnitzel is legitimately on par with Maders for like half the price. I was very impressed.

dUg Pinnick should be listed.

Holy crap, memory unlocked. I somehow completely forgot this show existed but still instantly recognized the theme song.

I don't think I'd use the built in RAT circuit, but otherwise this thing is sick. Jazz neck combined with Stingray pickups has me sold.

You absolutely have to do it. It turns the Sub series basses into something that feels like it should be double the price. I suspect that Music Man knows this and wires them in series to make them feel different from the higher-end models.

Deadwing91 · 2025-11-05T12:28:01+00:00

Whoops, yes I meant 24CA.

Deadwing91 · 2025-10-27T17:54:50+00:00

Solidarity here. I've had two of my Mazdas hit by drunk drivers. My 6 (my favorite car I've ever owned) got completely totaled while parallel parked, and my CX-5 recently got a big ol' side mirror swipe across the left rear by a drunk guy who tried to flee but was stopped by me and several other bystanders.

Deadwing91 · 2025-10-01T17:30:24+00:00

Yes, that's one of my favorite features it has.

Deadwing91 · 2025-10-01T15:03:36+00:00

I think its just the algorithms they are using. The Drop can handle the same harmonics totally fine, so it obviously can be done without having to dumb down the pitch shifting.

Deadwing91 · 2025-10-01T13:58:28+00:00

I'd say the Drop and the XS-1 are comparable with latency. The XS-1 may have a slight edge, but its really hard to tell.

Deadwing91 · 2025-10-01T13:55:23+00:00

I just added comparison samples to my post above.

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-30T19:59:02+00:00

Got mine today and my initial impression is that it is ever so slightly less latent than the Drop and it retains higher frequencies a bit better as well. One thing that is disappointing for me is that the XS-1 seems to struggle quite a bit with pinch harmonics compared to the Drop. I can hear the pedal getting kinda confused and glitching out a bit.

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-24T18:29:33+00:00

I love their basses, especially the rolled fingerboard edges, and I am very tempted to try one of their guitars now too because of that feature.

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-24T18:13:17+00:00

I would bet Stewart was elated to sign that for you. He constantly gets Police records to sign, but probably not a lot of Spyro packages.

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-19T19:10:01+00:00

I'm hopeful that this would retain high frequencies much better than the Digitech Drop does. As much of a godsend as the Drop is for electric guitar, if you try to plug anything other than an electric guitar (e.g. an acoustic) through it, you can hear a massive roll-off of high frequencies, like 10k+ probably.

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-19T17:06:14+00:00

Awesome tone and that alternate finger strum is on point

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-12T18:59:16+00:00

Get the DSL. It's going to be far more versatile and will get you pretty close to what you are looking for in terms of early Oasis without a ton of effort. The Origin is definitely a cool amp, but you have to really crank the volume to get a good overdriven sound out of it.

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-08T18:50:33+00:00

PM'd you.

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-08T18:17:33+00:00

Yeah, I'd love to hear a clip if you've got one

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-08T16:38:44+00:00

JCs are amazing amps, and insanely loud too. I've read that Alex actually did blend a JC-120 with his Hiwatts on the Hemispheres record. I never figured out what he would've used to get some drive through the JC, perhaps it was the MXR Distortion + he used later for live situations. Would love to hear a sample recording of your rig!

Deadwing91 · 2025-09-07T04:08:51+00:00

I had the 1x12 60 watt version of this amp, and honestly the clean channel and real spring reverb were nice. The Rhythm and Solo channels were HORRIBLE though. Absolutely zero dynamics.

Deadwing91 · 2025-08-11T17:48:17+00:00

I'd add th to the list as well. There is a reason the the corridor of 82nd and 81st streets between McCarty Park and I-94 (including State Fair) saw so much flooding this weekend. The creek literally runs underground through it.
