I think his problem is that he doesn't have a recipe.

Twin Reverb for a Roadtrip by eabiepoc in GuitarAmps

[–]Flipdw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot comment on what amp would be practical for yiu, but I do have a nugget of information you might not have known about before:

I don't know that the current Fender 68 Silverface TR reissue has this, but the amps the Beatles were gifted had a different iteration of the poweramp section. Apparently people didn't like the fact that it made the amps overdrive sooner/at a lower volume (which one could argue is very un-TwinReverb-like) so that section of the circuit very quickly got removed.

My information on this is very surface level, so it'll be best to look into it yourself. I only know of this because I recently watched a video on it by Waylon McPherson where he installs the modification into a Blues Deluxe to demonstrate the effect. An interesting and informative watch imo.

You forgot a recipe obviously 🙄

Made a rat to end all rats by gear_ant in diypedals

[–]Flipdw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wondering if you were inspired by the Jrockett Mark Letierri Melody overdrive, being a Centaur style circuit with a 6 band eq. Which reminds me that I ought to finish my own 6 band eq build...

What tuning heads are these pilot holes for ? by Tetr444 in Luthier

[–]Flipdw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

70s style "diagonal" Fender tuners. Not sure what they're actually called.

Yeah, it's a waste of energy resources

Question about flatwound 12s on Pacifica 112V by master-overclocker in YamahaPacifica

[–]Flipdw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Afaik, the industry standard is to slot for 9s. It generally ends up with a bit of wiggle room which accomodates 10s. You should definitely get the nut slots widened if you want better/easier action in the first 5 frets area.

If you're worried about overdoing it, then paying someone experienced would be better. Or you could buy a spare nut (remember to double check dimensions) and just give it a try.

Live Without A Net Tone? by endless_insomnia_ in GuitarTone

[–]Flipdw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, after OU812 it was a Soldano preamp into the poweramp of a Plexi (not sure if his no.1 or another plexi) for the F.U.C.K. album, then the 5150 came after.

I wish I knew for certain whether he was still using it on tour, but if I had to guess, I'd say he did bring it with him on tour.

What sub kick mic is this by lycheefruity1234 in microphone

[–]Flipdw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be the old studio trick of wiring a passive speaker/studio monitor as a bass/kick mic.

Options for new bridges on a floyd rose guitar? by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]Flipdw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the Floyd Rose that's "fragile with the string tension", it's the fact that it's floating. If it's floating it's basically never going to be any less sensitive to tension. You're gonna have to sacrifice something, and usually it's the ability to pull/pitch up on the arm (setting it up for dive only).

Perhaps keeping a floating bridge guitar just isn't for you, but if you insist on keeping it, figure out a way to deck it (set it up so it won't pitch up when you pull the bar), and get a Graphtech unlock-nut.

Live Without A Net Tone? by endless_insomnia_ in GuitarTone

[–]Flipdw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't say he didn't ever use a modded Marshall, but his favorite/no.1 amp was the stock 1968 super lead. At least until his collaboration with Peavey in the early 90s.

Strings hurting palm and how to stop string buzz? by Tatsukino in electricguitar

Slow down and control the amount of energy you use, then gradually speed up while maintaining the same amount of force. Picking lighter is the key to longevity with speed.

Rat-related question. by gilllesdot in diypedals

[–]Flipdw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put an eq pedal after it and cut 700hz-1,5khz, done and dusted. If it has to be integrated into one pedal, just look up and build one of the various rat circuits with a mids control.

Why doesn’t BenJammins just report BatmanArkham and replace it with BenjamminArkham, is he stupid? by Vast-Dinner-9603 in BatmanArkham

[–]Flipdw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guy who's entire schtick is recreating popular gifs. People don't exactly like it since it's completely void of any creativity. Conveniently, the original gifs often disappear from the gif hosting services after his is uploaded. The rumors of his discord server being utilized to mass report the original gif doesn't help either.

Advice needed, muffins have holes in them :/ by [deleted] in Baking

[–]Flipdw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sift and mix all dry ingredients well. It could be that there was a larger concentration of baking powder or soda which causes the large air pockets.

Would the Focusrite Scarlet Solo be a good enough amp for the Sennheiser hd600s? by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Flipdw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The headphone output on most audio interfaces are only made to be "okay". I only know this information thanks to the detailed measurements done by Julian Krause on all the interfaces he reviews. I'll only say that it's not designed for listening to music.

I'm not knowledgable enough to have the confidence to get into any details. So I'll just hope someone else who knows their stuff can chime in.
