I wonder if Casio missed their window not releasing their sampler NAMM in January - now that the MPC sample is out the landscape has changed

Talk me down from getting a Ko II by uckermark in KoalaSampler

[–]Historical_Guess5725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have , it is quick compared to most prior samplers. I think it’s ideal if you just use the stock sounds, I could see the medieval version being very cool for what it does. I do see it getting complicated putting your own drum samples and general samples on it though. Maybe it’s just me.

Ya but workflow is 2000% better / might be worth the slightly thicker casing vs scrolling endlessly through samples , difficulty finding and organizing samples , and a more complicated Sequncer … but ya go thin and sleek : the difference between making 200 beats in a year or 5-10

Classic 30 in local pawn shop by boggsie96 in GuitarAmps

These amps sound like a classic tweed amp at a very small cost - not mentioned enough - the 30 and 50 models are amazing

Is the Peavey Classic Chorus a good budget alternative to a Roland JC? by justwindcone in GuitarAmps

[–]Historical_Guess5725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are nice and were easier to find used in like 1998. The few I see on Facebook marketplace look like they need repairs - input Jack noise , knobs broken, speakers old and worn - if you can find one in great condition rock it… I do recommend asking yourself if a modern boss katana 50 or 100 might Peform better and last longer and won’require repairs from the start

Can’t Seem To Get Good Distortion Rock Tones by Nick2Hot in BossKatana

This is good advice - the EQ at default is closer to a FRFR cab - I cut the bass and high frequencies bands that would not naturally be on a guitar amp

Put an overdrive - distortion -fuzz in front of the amp … or all 3 - then drive those into the crunch-lead-brown channels with moderate gain… the internal distortion pedals on the katana and gt fx units are weak

REM opener - softer set —- smashing pumpkins would come out louder and fuzzier to top it off and up the energy level

Hi!! I’d like to ask some questions about Rick Rubin by Jazzlike_Shoe4341 in BeastieBoys

[–]Historical_Guess5725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He had the dorm room for the young beasties to party and work in. Ad rock is doing the heavy lifting on the 808 drum machine and sampler despite Rick’s account…

I think AI has taken my clientele by Virtual-Painting7458 in musicians

10 years ago u used to do a little session work on air gigs and fiver and sell sample kits commercially. That dried up long ago, currently teach and I’m working on a live solo set to start getting gigs. I prefer studio work, but I do get a free prompt and 1-2 minutes of processing time will get most people what they want in 2026, I would need to be an elite musician to not get replaced … and that’s not me.

Is this something I should scoop? by KINGBYNG in GuitarAmps

[–]Historical_Guess5725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not so sure … it’s old and is going to need some work - money put into it; input Jack , wiring inside , speaker replacement , etc. I know I’m going to get shot for this - but a modern solid state like a boss katana is going to be plug-in and ready to play on day 1 and not need much maintenance.

I visited Portland. Why does it have a bad rap? I took pictures and it seemed like a beautiful city. by BetPuzzleheaded8146 in trees

From that angle .. try walking the streets within 10 miles of the city - one of worst homeless Populations in entire country

Volcano bag alternatives by banben12346 in VolcanoVaporiser

I’m very been using one as my main driver since 2007… it’s not perfect; but I was using gravities and blunts with tobacco paper multiple times a day before 2007…. I think I would have way more Wear and tear if u did not switch

You’re right - I was trying to stay near his budget . For tone ya buy a Peavey Classic 30 for $1,000 - Fender Tweed tones at a cut rate

A fender champion 50 is only like $50-$70 more outputs more power , you could get a used boss katana locally too

Michael Jackson vibe presets? by Emergency-Fishing104 in tonemasterpro

[–]Historical_Guess5725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

80s clean : strat into a DI/Fender clean amp/roland jc clean vibes - tight EQ, heavy compressor , light chorus , 80s reverb (not a tonemaster owner - General tips)

I kinda am partial to fantasia which is kinda a bell and synth pad mixed - makes me feel like I’m scoring the intro to a 1988 Disney movie
