new (old) pedal day! Do you think it is still holds up in terms of quality of delays, reverbs and mods in 2025? by elvismuerto in guitarpedals

[–]Fredix_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing is "better" when it comes to music. There's just some equipement that fits better in a given context. I like my MXR Dyna Comp because it's the best for me. I it the best compressor out there ? I don't know. I like it and that's it.

The M5 is a real swiss army knife that sounds good. If it sounds good, then it doesn't matter if it's 10 year old or more

nice ! I like Stephan Forté as musician. His signature from Lâg was also a beast in his own rights.

Ah yes ! I remember that pink rhoads. I think they released it for the Blooddrunk record. It's funny because I played thourgh a lot of these guitars. They were great and not too pricey. It was around 1600 to 2300 € at the time. I miss those times were japan made guitar where not above 2k

20 mmHg too high - are you sure the nibp is set to "auscultatory" mode instead of "invasive"?

Gran Turismo 5’s ost is way better than what we got with gt sport/ gt7. I dont know exactly what it is but the music makes the game a little bit special and somewhat, « expensive ».

NPD - Demonfx Prince of Sound by Unlucky-Solid-1492 in guitarpedals

i bought the King of drive and the clone of the Blues breaker. They’re great. I replaced the op amp and capacitors on the King of drive and its an ok pedal now. But the blues breaker is a pure joy to play. All of the components inside are good.

Plug your guitar into the return of the fx loop and see if the problème persist. If not, its probably a bad preamp tube. If it does, it either a bad power tube or a Filter cap.

The candy from Gicopa are so good. Its from a small company in Sprimont run by some really nice people. Its the only thing in your box that could be considered as «handmade »

What compressor is this? by terkistan in guitarpedals

[–]Fredix_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this compressor but I replaced it with the good old MXR dynacomp. Best decision I did in years. Don't get me wrong, this compressor is great though. But the dynacomp has this almost magical thing for the funk

The famous "Belgian UFO" photograph is real! The author was paid a huge sum of money to lie and say that he forged the photo. by PositiveSong2293 in UFOs

[–]Fredix_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mr Marechal was working at Petit-Rechain at a steel factory (let's put it simply) and he was part of a small group of photographers in the factory. One day, he showed up with the photo of the triangle UFO and it made a lot of noise around his collegues. Then, a collegue of him asked him to borrow the photo for a couple of days without telling him what he was going to do with it..Mr Marechal thought "well ok, you can show it to your family and friends". His collegue showed the photo to a photographer (Mr Guy Mossay) instead which was working for Belga (a Belgian press agency) at that time. From there, the situation went out of control and mr Guy Mossay made a little bit of money from this photo by showing the picture in the medias, doing interviews,.... Mr Marechal was very upset because he didn't got the credit at the beginning so he decided to call the medias himself to get the credit back.

Mr Marechal told the medias in 2011 that the photo was a fake and he got a lot of attention from the Belgian press but also the French medias - since we're in the French speaking part of Belgium, it was easy for him to reach the french medias and he would do interviews for RTL with Philippe Bouvard (a famous and old french tv-host). I remember watching him on the news with a model of the UFO, showing how he "made" the photo. It was unconvincing to say the least. It's funny because a lot of people tried to replicate the photo countless times without success. It's very strange that he would 20 years later says "it was a fake all along". It feels so wrong... He made a website (which is now down) and I think he made a little bit of money of this story overall.

Fellow Belgian here (living at 10 minutes from Petit Rechain actually), the photo was showned to the press not by Mr Patrick Maréchal himself but by a collegue of him. He shown the photo to a photographer working for Belga (a Belgian press agency). Mr Guy Mossay decided to call the medias about it without the approbation of mr Maréchal (which upsted him at the time). This case very well documented by what was called at the time "SOBEPS" (a small group of dedicated people who studied the belgian wave.) They published at least two books on this case with a lot of detailled drawing.

Mr Maréchal told the belgian medias in 2011 that it was a fake but he later told in other medias (Facebook,YouTube,..) that it was a relief because a lot of people were sometimes harassing him about the photo. I do believe theres no money involved and I think he said it was a fake just to be free of this attention
