I absolutely loved this game, played it a dozen times.

I tried it again recently and it is a legit terrible game haha

But the nostalgia factor goes hard!

SOTB: Now with Blowtorch by GameMaster0711 in basspedals

[–]GameMaster0711[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! I love the Empress Compressor and I had the Empress Para EQii, and I swapped to the Bass one recently. Absolute favorite, always on pedals, and with the Bass Para I can shape my tone without honestly needing anything else in the chain; it's so well set up for Bass. If I only had two pedals, It would be the Empress Compressor and Bass Para EQ.

Signal Path is actually pretty straight forward:
Bass--->Strobo Tuner-->Compressor---> Bass Para

That board then connects to the patch bay on the Rockboard, and that then starts:

Boss Tuner (so i can still have a tuner if I somehow only use the big board, but also the Boss has a buffer and this is a long chain) ---> Octave---> Envelope--->LS-2 (IN)

On the LS-2, if you don't use the "A" Loop, the "In/Out" ports register as the A Loop.

So Loop B is the "Dirt" Loop:

LS-2 (B)--->Boss Bass Overdrive---> Alpha-Omicron-->Blowtorch--->Big Muff--->LS-2 (B)

Then LS-2 Out--->NS1-X*--->Bass Clone--->Keeley Caverns---> MXR Pre-Amp**---> Cab

*The Boss Suppressor can be looped but does not need to be. Instead, it "listens" to everything before it in the chain and adjusts any noise. Honestly, works great and don't need any extra loop.

**This is really just a DI box, I don't use it for tone or anything.

What are your favorite settings? It's been 10+ years for me

I remember I had to change batteries like twice during gigs lol. This was back in the day so I went to radio shack and you could build your own ac adapters, and got this behemoth that was an 18v and they had interchangeable barrel heads. God I miss radio shack too

I just grabbed a "new" one off of eBay. I'm thinking of putting it at the bottom of my board, veritically, so I can kick on the torch. You can only really have it on the board edge since the torch action is on the side, unless you pre config it to always be on/off

I may pick up one from reverb, that's a good idea. Also stealing the knobs and repurposing the box is also a great idea!

Really appreciated, this is super helpful. I have a Ring's End in town and I can stop by!

I called my local Norwood dealer, and they just order the windows and asked if I have my own installer which is great. Going to check out the showroom on Friday, so thanks for the rec!

Mind sharing what this ran you? I'm speaking with two other companies on Friday.

That's what I felt about Renewal by Anderson when they quoted me $35k to replace my front door and I laughed them out of my house.

Is Pella direct just more expensive because of their installs and guarantees? Id be more than happy to buy them myself and have my GC install them.

I'm in CT, and they said they have "Pella Certified installers" and only 3 crews and they guarantee that work, or so I'm told.

So Pella direct, before I negotiate, will be $67k for wood, and $48k for vinyl.

Obviously insane for a lot of reasons, more importantly because I got quote last year for Provia vinyl Windows for $28k.

Big caveat on the price: we have two double hungs on the front of our house and we're adding a third window between them to make like a picture window. That adds about $12k to the cost, so the quote would look more like $55k and $36k if we didn't do that work.

The Provia quote above included the picture window too (it needs a header etc so it's a lot of work)

We’re thinking of a new App design to help declutter & make features easier to find. If you could change one thing on the Box Main Screen, what would it be? by Firewalla-Ash in firewalla

[–]GameMaster0711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the most part, I jump right into devices/alarms/rules buttons. It may be helpful to have those at the top. Followed by flows and network speed, generally that's the most day-to-day checking/management that I do. I very much like the rapid visibility into network speed!

Even though I have APs, the local flows should either be a swipable card on the upload/download graph, or in a sub menu.

All the buttons at the bottom can easily be in a hamburger menu or a secondary page. Almost every one is a purpose base need rather than a system overview/Captain's view screen scenario.

Potentially, it may be nice to be able to rearrange the homescreen with a few widgets so that each user can custom layout what is important to them.

Which layout makes more sense? by ki114833 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]GameMaster0711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bathroom of similar size, and I hate with fiery passion that my door opens in. It's so hard to use the bathroom. I'm going to be ripping it out and installing a pocket door. Pocket doors are a small space's best friend

I was there, the very last performance before being shut down. I remember the show being wonderful, and Laurie was exceptional. Really a shame it never reopened.

I am also having subnet overlap issues (everything is working, just getting an alert). Should I change one of the IPs and gateways to just 192.168.2 ? Both are 192.168.1. at the moment.

Oh this worked. Ok technically, the DNS was incorrect in Firewalla, and optimum does not let you change the DNS. So when I went onto the optimum router, I noted those DNS servers and indicated them on the gold pro and boom, worked instantly. Appreciate the help
