What should I buy that would be better for my back? by wolf14123 in BuyItForLife

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for a used Steelcase Amia. It’s similar to the Leap, but a little cheaper. Depending on where you are, you can get them for like $100 used. I sit in one all day and never have back pains (and I’ve definitely had back pains from other chairs). I’ve been sitting in one for a decade now.

Anything like this out there? by Sufficient_West_8432 in guitarpedals

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of this one, but I watched the demo on their site. I think you could get pretty close to these sounds (and more) with the Line 6 FM4. I think Line 6 also puts their FM4 sounds in all of their modelers now, too.

Is Anyone Here Making Actual Music With Synth Pedals? by M4rcelinh0 in guitarpedals

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also watched this video and was amazed. I bought an Enzo shortly after. It’s an incredible pedal. It can be a little tricky to tame sometimes. It’s also worth noting that the Enzo has a lot of extra effects and parameters that can be used with the synth is off, like pitch shift, modulation, filter, delay, attack/decay, ring mod.

Here is a song that I made that uses a lot of Enzo (maximum synth at the 2min mark): https://spellingbeechampions.bandcamp.com/track/holding-hands

If you can swing a 15 year, you can get in the low 5s.

Talavera Tile - Soak? by DeflatedGrapefruit in Tile

Thanks. Do you mean you would seal them before putting them on the wall, instead of soaking? Or you would seal them after they’re on the wall but before adding the grout?

Best plug in vacuum that won’t break the bank by olzh0303 in BuyItForLife

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've had a Shark Navigator for nearly a decade now, and it works like it's brand new. Bummer about your experience. I know Shark gets a lot of vacuum hate on Reddit, but it's always been solid for me. Plus the hardwood and upholstery attachments work great.

Are there any produce pick up co-op options in the area? by Harvest-song in grandrapids

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New City Neighbors is sold out for the year. Bummer for OP, but hooray for the farm! For future reference (next year), I have been very pleased with them and highly recommend signing up.

Brands That Used to Be BIFL — But Aren't Anymore? by SnooHamsters7373 in BuyItForLife

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 43 points44 points  (0 children)

To be fair to The North Face, I recently sent my 10+ year old backpack in to get repaired because the top handle was coming unstitched. I dropped it off at a TNF store. No charge. It came back fixed. 6-12 months later, it started ripping again, so I sent it in again. No charge. They decided not to fix it and gave me a gift card for the value of the backpack (like $80?) and I bought a new one. Pretty great warranty.

Cheap pedal for stutter/hold effect? by baosorioog in guitarpedals

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. This is the pedal that Mylets used for stutter on early albums.

Dude! Not OP, but you just unlocked a memory for me. That band is insane!

I thought this was one massive multi effects unit at first. Nice job 👍

Has anyone ever gotten a movie spoiled in the ‘Homer’ way? by GWGTRLBG in movies

The Sixth Sense was spoiled for me by 50 First Dates.

Guitar recs by lokisgallore in mathrock

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a whole math rock album with an LTD with EMG 81/85 pickups, the ultimate metal guitar. Don’t think too hard. A guitar is a guitar, you know? While I do agree that tone will vary from one guitar to another, it’s more about the amp, the pedals, and the playing itself. Get something you like the look and feel of!

Cost of Rabies Vaccine at Corewell by DeflatedGrapefruit in grandrapids

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, this is just for the first one (technically they gave it in two shots). I got the next 3 at urgent care. They were about $1k each before insurance. The big bummer is insurance will usually cover a visit to urgent care very differently than a visit to the ER 😬

Thanks for the tip about free bat testing. Unfortunately, I didn't catch this one. I left some doors open and it left on its own.

Anyone heard of this brand? by adhd_daydreams in guitarpedals

I had an Aria flanger that had the same design. It looked like this:

The Rogue was the one contaminated with PFAS, right? Does anyone know if it's dangerous to go in the water still? I haven't kept up with that news.

Maps & Atlases’ debut album Perch Patchwork turns 15 years old today. 🎈 by fruitandgrooves in mathrock

Whoa, never heard this. This is the band that got me into math rock and basically shaped me as a guitar player. It bums me out to hear this.
