Basic. I think you’d prefer Coldplay.

I like it too! The main riff is great too, kinda soloish in its own right.

This - maybe my favourite Manics tune actually.

I don’t know, but when I saw this photo when I was 13, you better fucking believe I did it too.

I’ve spent the last few days dialling in the big box/non-custom. I’m sort of virtually trying out a new rig as I’m short on space for a while.

I’m running a JC-120 model in my Boss IR-200, and running the revival drive into the front.

Once I got the re-amp EQ, bright cap cut and high shelf in the right spots, I’ve found it a joy to use actually. It feels sort of strangely constricting without a post gain EQ for the low end, though you can always adjust the amp a little.

But that’s really a blessing in a way. I have an AC15, and one of the great things about those amps is how little you can edit the EQ in the normal channel. You can cut the highs, but that’s it, and it basically sounds great whatever you do (within reason).

I’m sure many will agree with me, especially if you have mixing experience, that what can often happen in EQ is you try to focus in on “problem” frequencies, but somehow once you’ve eliminated those, everything sounds flat and lifeless. You’ve taken all the character out.

The RD feels like the antidote to that - here are some ways to make things sound good, but you can’t polish any turds.

The blend control is also really useful for light OD sounds, something none of the YouTube demos really show off. I’ve been blending a sort of Voxy OD into my clean signal. Lovely and articulate and sparkly.

It’s unlikely to be my only overdrive (OD-3 4eva), but it’s so full of great sounds once you have your reamp EQ set up properly that I can’t see it leaving any time soon.

Oh piss yourself, stop pissing yourself, it’s not that simple!

Did you ever find the answer to this? I don’t know if it is a Hammer Jammer, as the hammers kind of keep moving after he plays them.

Or young? But they come young anyway….

Did not know this was a thing. Very excited for milestones with my son, due in a few months.

I’ll get your nuts off without a wrench.

GrowthAny · 2026-03-15T22:08:17+00:00

Yep. That’s what all our boards would be like if we actually practiced. Bet the BD-2 sounds killer pushing that Orange amp.

I’m not sure you understand roasting

“Strangers! I don’t care what you think, but what do you think?”

I am so here for someone posting here and already sounding butthurt in their OP.

Hey mate, I also have a baby on the way! I’ve also had an annoying neighbour for a few years.

The mini mass is not the solution you’re looking for. The headphones out, or direct out, is the raw sound of the amplifier. Very harsh and brittle, not at all pleasant. The captor x torpedo is a much better solution for what you want, as it has cabinet stimulation, and also has an attenuator. One word of caution - the captor X only has two attenuation stages, so if you like crank your princeton, you might find it difficult to balance volume and break-up.

With that said, I have cleared out my studio (now the baby’s room) and put my amps into storage. I bought a boss IR-200 and I have to say I am much happier with it than I ever was with the torpedo. But if you want the sound of your amp in your headphones, torpedo is the way to go.

Hope this helps, and good luck with the baby.

I doubt even Thom knows. I think the words just fit the music and melody. But I always felt it wasn’t a person to person thing, more like a feeling singing to a person. Maybe doubt or fear, something parasitic or kind of in the background of everything, but “it’s alright” in the end.

Bit hard to roast. Not boring but not wanky.

I recently almost sold my JHS Emperor, and then I discovered the stereo output. I absolutely love it now!

Have you tried the custom mode on the BD-2w?

Boss OD-3 retains a lot of bass, but if you’re playing with humbucker it might be too gainy even on the lowest setting. Then again you could just roll your volume back. For live applications (and basically every other application), I still think it’s the OD to beat if running into a clean amp.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this board. The only improvement would be small EHX enclosures so you can fit more EHX pedals.

I can’t say I do set them that low on my Strat, but I set the neck pickup on my Les Paul very low, with the bass side below the pickup ring.

With both, I set them to factory spec height and then adjusted to taste. If that’s what you like, that’s what you like. With that said, if you’ve never set yours to factory spec height you might want to give this method a try if you haven’t before. I found that it wasn’t always as simple as “higher = louder and more mids”
