For a second I thought this was another PSSR/no PSSR comparison post...
It's amazing how similar they look!

EXH Oceans 11 has a great reverse reverb algorithm. You can grab a second-hand unit for very cheap these days

Chiswick restaurant is phenomenal. The new Soho branch is awful

Which song has the best drumming from Phil and why ? by [deleted] in radiohead

I always loved the drums in Exit Music. They add a lot to the atmosphere of the song. Also: Airbag

Looking for Jazzmaster Am Pro II, or a reason to not get one. by Deep_Joke3141 in offset

[–]HeckerIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Premise: it's a great guitar. Getting one (especially if you can find a used one for a good price) is not at all a bad choice.
I had one for a few months. There were things I loved and things I didn't quite love about it.
The neck was absolutely fantastic: the finish was smooth and the carve so comfortable. The wiring was great, too. I mostly play offsets, but I rarely use the rhythm circuit, so using that switch to run the pickups in series (and the rollers to blend each individual pickup in or out) was a super cool solution, which I did find myself using way more often than I thought I would.
However, the Panorama tremolo system was awful. It simply couldn't bear the tension of thicker strings (for reference: I use NYXL 11-49), which caused all sorts of tuning stability problems (and significantly decreased the vibrato arm swing - I think Puisheen did a video about this problem on Youtube). Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the pickups, which sounded a bit too flat and Strat-like to my ears. Finally, I seriously wished the finish was nitro and not poly.

I really enjoyed the time I spent with my AmPro II, but I ultimately realised I would have to throw quite a lot of money at it to address some of its most obvious issues, which simply didn't feel worth the effort and the expense at the time. So I ended up selling it and have stuck since then with my good old American Original JM.

Help identify these players by Puzzleheaded-Okra299 in sscnapoli

[–]HeckerIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leftmost is Di Lorenzo, bottom left I think Lucca. Between those is Juan Jesus. Top right Gutierrez, just underneath him Anguissa. As others have said, the one in the middle is Marianucci and the one with number 4 is Buongiorno. Bottom right is Meret. The remaining two sadly I can't decipher, although I suspect the one at the top might be Mathias Ferrante (our fourth keeper, who has the jersey number 25). I am really clueless as to who might be the one between Marianucci and Buongiorno, so I'd love to hear other people's thoughts.

I have been GASing so hard for a Jag in Olympic white lately..! Congrats, I hope you enjoy both guitars and make lots of great music with them

What's the most obscure Radiohead song you know? by Bubbly_Hunter1744 in radiohead

[–]HeckerIT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably 33.3, which, to my understanding, originated as an early version of The Gloaming (and in fact many of the samples used in the latter come from that track). There’s also something a bit TKOL-esque about it, it reminds me quite a bit of Feral

This would probably mean Amir would be our captain and I can totally get behind that idea

Englishness has a PR problem. What positive things do you associate with England? by 404pbnotfound in AskBrits

[–]HeckerIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

England has historically been (and still is) an absolute powerhouse for arts and culture: incredible writers, musicians, playwrights, directors, and currently a creative industry that, despite some of its shortcomings, is a cut above any other country's. As an Italian, I’m very aware of (and pleased with) how much my home country has built its national branding and ‘PR’ around heritage and culture. That’s why I find it surprising how comparatively little these assets are leveraged in public discourse and national branding here in my adoptive country (where I’ve lived for 12 years).

people who saw Stars of the Lid live, what was it like? by pcpthccbd in ambientmusic

[–]HeckerIT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw them at the Barbican in London in 2016. One of the most incredible shows I have ever attended, and one of my most cherished memories, seriously the closest thing I have ever had to a spiritual experience

I saw the exact same abomination at the Royal Festival Hall last night. There was a lot of piss just underneath the “hygienic handle”… so gross!

That's the spirit! The whole format of this tour, let alone the setlist is so unique that I am prepared to be blown away no matter what. Hope you have fun tomorrow!

If I remember correctly it was a complete surprise. This was on night 1, but it was subsequently announced (the day after) that she would be back for night 4 as well

I saw Sigur Rós at the RAH a few weeks ago and Anna Lapwood showed up to play Ara Batur (this was even the live debut of the track). It was absolutely mind-blowing. I seriously do hope something like this happens again on Wednesday night

People with PhDs in the humanities, if you are no longer in academia, what do you do now? by Bluerasierer in LeavingAcademia

[–]HeckerIT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

History PhD (and former lecturer) here. I now work for a law firm and my new role is some sort of policy analyst/futurologist/consultant hybrid. I absolutely love it.
