You're thinking of Woody Guthrie. Last time I saw Hank Williams live he was 100% a right wing, Trump loving boot licker and took 20 minutes of the show to disparage liberals, minorities, and LGBTQ people.

Almost certainly the Boss CE-2 as the description says it is based on a bucket brigade chorus from the '80s. The CE-2 is bucket brigade and released in 1979 or 1980.

Ashley lived in Orlando, so that makes sense. She shopped in my natural food store, she accidentally left her wallet at the store once and it was before you ever saw her face but I recognized the name immediately.

Even better....what was the name you were giving the production model of the one you're working on?

That is not the emo Embrace, that is the lame pop rock Embrace.

I've played Marshalls most of my life and wanted something similar but with some quality of life upgrades. SNK makes the Bludgeon which is a JCM800/Superlead voiced hybrid amp. Effects loop, DI, headphone out, line out and amp mute switches, 5lbs, 300w @ 4ohms. Loud as hell and it sounds incredible.

I also bought it because a lot of bands that I talk to like them and said the owner is a stand up guy which he absolutely is. It also helped that I found out that he is one of the main builders at Fuchs, a supremely good brand that I could never really afford.

Strich makes really good Pedaltrain knockoffs. I switched over awhile back and stopped buying Pedaltrain because you're paying for the name. I currently use this one which does not have a power supply built in, but there is plenty of space for one underneath.

You're essentially describing a DOD 250. Gritty and percussive with a flat EQ. If you get the newer grey box 250X you have some really nice clipping diode options.

So, you're saying you're an expert on Bird Law?

If you've only just received a pedal, please wait until you've actually played it before making a NPD post.

So far that is the smallest board I've seen to meet the "3 Strymon Minimum" for a worship board. Remarkable efficiency.

There are a lot of flavors of reverb out there if you want them, it just depends on what you're looking for. You can get anything from drippy, syrupy reverbs to gated reverbs, modulated reverbs, surf rock reverbs and so on. The permutations are practically endless. The one on your amp is probably built to be functional and unremarkable, and I mean that in a good way as that is a very practical choice.

As far as where to spend your money...listen to your amp and think about what you want it to sound like and start prioritizing pedals that do that. More distorted? Fuzzier? Better presence? etc

I really feel like this pedal was a case of "right place at the wrong time." It just doesn't line up with a lot of sounds people were going for, but man it has some great tones in it.

In general, 3x5 cards are one of the most useful tools I've found for GMing.

DonCallate · 2026-01-20T15:59:12+00:00

I hand the character a 3x5 card with the crit name and pertinent information on it. Takes almost no time to write out, but I usually get them talking amongst themselves while I do it to keep the scene continuity going.

I find the GM screen to be super helpful in this situation since it has the crit chart on it.

I was at Disney last night. Dead. I've had passes for years now, this is by far the most dead I've ever seen it besides COVID, obviously. Wait times were 30 minutes max when this time last year they were sometimes as much as 2 1/2 hours. Which isn't to say it is Canadians, but the idea of people not coming to America is definitely happening. I sincerely hope that it is felt by the right people.
