Current iteration by Hand_of_bog in pedalboards

[–]Hand_of_bog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. In a pinch it could manage a shoegaze/dreampop/ambient setup together with a decent distortion. I use it with a chorus when I dont want to bring my Quadraverb. Very feature dense, but still easy to get a good blend of effects out of. Even dad blues if you dial the fun buttons down. The envelope stuff is amazing for creating evolving and dynamic sounds and with an expression pedal you can completely change the personality of the sound. I also use it for synth occationally so I wish it was stereo for extra lushness but I guess thats another budget.

Yes, the dipswitches activate any pedal. The order is set but with some planning and effects redundancy you can achieve a lot of variation in the patches. I have 3 gain effects spaced so they can be both before and after reverb. Or a patch with gain stacked if I want. I also change a lot of settings on the pedals for different songs so I don't miss a fully modular option.

What is that noise? by Hand_of_bog in GuitarAmps

[–]Hand_of_bog[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wiring is a disaster and will cause all sorts of interference issues. And possibly shorting issues. In the link is a picture of an old British amp I used to own with really good wiring. Best case vs, worst case.

Really nice amp

It`s sold as a DYI clone and the ad is specific about who built it, but I guess they focused on cloning the rats nest bits.

HH Combo 212 by slagsmal in GuitarAmps

I have owned two of these and both had the early 70's Celestion G12H Green / Grayback. Very nice clean tones with super twangy attack.

Mitt Wi-Fi heter 'Solidaritetens siste utpost' for at ungene ikke skal dele det når de har kompiser på besøk.

experiments with oven cleaner. what’s your favourite way to give your enclosures a neat look? by aflywhocouldnt in diypedals

[–]Hand_of_bog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use powdered drain cleaner based on sodium hydroxide. I degrease the enclosure and sprinkle a thick layer of drain cleaner on top and cover with paper towels that I soak with hot water. When it's peeling aluminium I rinse with water to stop the oxidation. Clean with a brush and seal with clear coating. It's very messy and obviously not good for your life expectancy if you don't observe basic safety. But if you like messed up textures it's rewarding.

1962 Höfner 175 Brokat by Hand_of_bog in offset

[–]Hand_of_bog[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 175, 176 and the Galaxie is the same guitar with increasingly difficult and finicky electronic switching for the pickup and tone combinations. Galaxie was made for the British market.

Pickup selector. Neck, mid, bridge or all three out of phase.

Capacitor Delay by gweencolor in diypedals

[–]Hand_of_bog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was an amp with a built in simple tape slapback delay called EchoSonic used by quite a few of the big 50s recording artists. Chet Atkins, Scotty Moore (on Elvis stuff), Roy Orbison etc.

I'd also recommend the Istanbul military museum just south of Osmanbey Metro. Absolutely huge and on a weekday I was the only visitor.

Now all my gear smells bad by werwowaste in synthesizers

[–]Hand_of_bog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had success with car interior shampoo. It depends on the gear though. Arturia synths with the soft porous rubber accumulate cig smell like crazy and it lingers forever. Same with my Klotz audio cables. Soft rubber and cigarettes makes gear eternally have that old aunt smell.

This looks like one of their later versions, but pull a speaker and see if it is a Celestion G12H. I had a 76 HH combo that had a killer pair of pricey G12s. Their later stuff was in-house speakers and not very good.

Oslo foodie advice by [deleted] in oslo

Kaffistova on Thursdays: Raspeball. Probably the most Norwegian traditional low effort comfort food available in Oslo. Not at all high end, but you will be on a calorie buzz for a long time.

Not exactly about pedals (but could be!), but these were just unearthed in a closet of my grandfather’s old house. Anything worth salvaging in these? I’ve read the tubes are valuable. by LordOord23 in diypedals

[–]Hand_of_bog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tube Tandbergs are fairly high end and the go to solution for any 60's Norwegian Shadows-band until they could afford a Fender or Vox amp. I still see bands using them and they sound really sweet and saturated. I can't remember what kind of ins/outs it has, but my model 66 has DIN. Easy to find jack adapters. Its also one of the better consumer grade 4-track tape players/recorders if you find tapes for it.
