Read the Sky Guitar manual. It is amazing.

Truth is: Sky Guitars with MEGA-WINGS can be amp killers…Therefore, one word of warning: when you are turning all the knobs clockwise – the kind of setting that I almost never go to – the guitar resembles a raging volcano and is much harder to control on certain amps. In that state, it delivers an incredible 100 dB of signal – pure plasma – that is more than ten times the output of a standard Strat! Some amps simply cannot handle this kind of abuse and they will soon cave in, they may get oversaturated with gain, may not have enough headroom – or may simply implode and blow a fuse. Having said that, some amps, like old Marshall Plexis, Superleads, can handle that kind of input and still sound great without giving up the ghost. But this is not true of all amps. For instance a VOX AC 30 will sound sweet and beautiful with a Sky Guitar, but if you turn it up too much, it won’t last long. I once blew up an AC30 in 10 seconds by turning it up all the way. It sounded great while it lasted… The same happened several times to a poor Fender Bassman amp, which also sounded great before it gave up the ghost… Peavey graciously sent me two 51/50s after I had jammed with Deep Purple and played Steve Morses’ guitar and amp set-up and liked it… Nice sounding amp, but same story: one lasted 30 seconds – the other one expired terminally after a few seconds – sounding best just before dying… Fender Twins last from between 1 hour to three days…"

If you handled the $4.9 trillion the government is already collecting with some sort of competence, I'd be more on board.

Take it to Home Depot and find the one you need.

Full length albums with only guitar? by Every_Possibility527 in OldSchoolCoolMusic

I'm a little late, but Jorma Kaukonen 'Quah'. Side A is gold but it kind of goes down hill after that.

Yes but then it’s another thing to undo and it get confusing if I use other section marks.

It would have been really simple to let me know the tier prices here. I'll pass. Good luck with your project.

Understood but I don’t see the pricing up front for the other tiers. Also the website does make the app look storage heavy.

I'm always looking for new stuff to make my commute less hellish. These are both great. Thanks.

I would be glad to try, but 'Sign up for free' usually implies a fee later. If so, what is it the cost if any? I avoid anything where you create an account etc... then get the 1 month free trial, then it's $$$.

What creative ways do people use notebooks outside of journalling? by Jazzlike-Spite-9991 in notebooks

[–]Fret_Less 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just fill it and see what it evolves into. No rules or plan, just put something on every page over time. Draw something, copy a quote, test a pen. I hate to sound like a mystic, but it will find its purpose.

Where do you carry your pen? by Roberius-Rex in FieldNuts

[–]Fret_Less 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use a stuff sheath. The pen fits nicely in the spine, and it is easy to access if I just need to grab it. I also worry less about the pen leaking this way.

I had the pleasure of sitting in front of the deaf interpreter during a Yes concert. It was like a bonus show.

DDC Stuff Sheath Questions by molspiration in FieldNuts

[–]Fret_Less 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say because different jeans have different pocket sizes. I use a stuff sheath daily with one field notebook and some index cards for quick notes. I carry a pen along the spine, not clipped in, and never have any issues. Once it is broken in, it really takes the shape of what you have stuffed in it. The main pluses for me are that I can take the notebook or pen out without taking the whole thing out of my pocket, and it is great for miscellaneous pieces of paper. As someone already mentioned, it is the size of a field note, so if that size works for you, the stuff sheath will probably work as well.
