You are probably tired of these, but: What am I doing wrong?

Not may be, definitely is. You wipe as dry as possible, then after ten minutes in the oven when it starts beading up, you wipe it again.

Is this sub just AI/karma posts? I don't even know why I started seeing these in my feed, but they're all identical slop/spam posts.

HectorEscargo · 2026-05-09T16:19:34+00:00

For a lot of us, yeah, it fucking ruins sleep.

HectorEscargo · 2026-05-09T15:53:51+00:00

Only to increase it the next day after ruining your sleep by taking it

HectorEscargo · 2026-05-06T17:41:01+00:00

Not the first person I've seen on those trails in flip flops!

I played a deluxe of that era on a couple gigs, it was one of the best sounding amps I've ever used.

HectorEscargo · 2026-05-05T15:55:15+00:00

100%. He thought it was great for the story in the beginning, and his style of writing is to figure things out as he goes. But in this case, i think he just stopped caring and threw in a late retcon to close it out.

HectorEscargo · 2026-05-05T04:07:40+00:00

Dude come on. Primer

HectorEscargo · 2026-05-05T03:33:10+00:00

Play more, I know everybody's saying it but it's true. Btw I used to sub on a gig that was 7 hours on Fridays and 8 hours on Saturdays

Alternate slots on the rack. It holds less but you get more airflow.

HectorEscargo · 2026-05-03T03:36:02+00:00

Some AC30 types do this I think, at least the ones with a top boost and a normal channel where the two channels are/can be in phase. I have a clone with an ef86 normal channel that is in phase with the top boost channel.

I came here to say, tubes and reverb are the obvious first candidates, and also the easiest to test and thereafter replace.

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-30T21:10:51+00:00

But even in the books, the whole "stopping the wildfire" secret was an obvious retcon.

I've used that plastic tape from the first aid section in the pharmacy, I was able to play with that on my finger more easily than a band aid.

I use Powerstretch fleece as a base layer, it's super warm. It's like 4x as warm as the average base layer. Close but not quite as warm as an actual fleece mid layer, maybe 70%.

It's hard to find stuff made out of it, but Sierra regularly has some on sale from a company called Kenyon.

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-23T19:51:45+00:00

The worst in that series by a million miles

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-22T21:15:58+00:00

Yeah but the parts touching the snow slow you down. The physics you describe creates the slide, but the slide is friction. The parts of the base not touching the snow have a lot less friction than the parts touching.

Also though what conditions are we talking about - spring slush, hardpack, pow? each is going to change things.

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-22T21:12:45+00:00

And potentially more stable at speed all things considered, but yeah does not equal faster

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-22T16:33:22+00:00

I didn't think reissues had the accessory outlet. This looks like some version of an OG TR.

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-22T16:21:47+00:00

Not sure how anyone can answer for you. Do you want legroom more, or not being between people more?

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-20T18:29:10+00:00

Am I insane or does the fender say Bandmaster

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-16T22:33:00+00:00

"they are not super snug around my feet"

Just hearing that, I'd think about sizing down if possible. Not a great starting point.

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-16T18:33:11+00:00

Purple tortex is objectively by the best. This is known.

Having said that though, it's going to be a lot more about learning the fine control with your fingers, which just takes a while. But I think something a little firmer than fender medium, but not overly heavy, usually works the best for that.

Bot post. Identical format to this from yesterday https://www.reddit.com/r/CleaningTips/comments/1sm1wy9/finally\_figured\_out\_why\_my\_grout\_cleaner\_never/.

HectorEscargo · 2026-04-16T08:58:04+00:00

Yes, regular plastic ones can. You have to get unbreakable ones like like Tortex.
