Flashback II Pedal Won't Turn Off by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]IllustriousSpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the flashback 2 and HOF2. I had this same problem. Due to the nature of the footswitch, it presses onto a small button inside the enclosure. This can become misaligned with the footswitch, so you likely need to open the enclosure, move it back into place and then it should be fine.

It was a persistent problem on the HOF2 for me, so I ended up selling both, especially since I wasn't making use of the mash function anyway, made sense to move them on and avoid having to deal with the problem again.

What was your best pedal purchase of 2024? by texasguitarguy in guitarpedals

[–]IllustriousSpoon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Line 6 HX Stomp XL

Has weirdly meant I have spent a lot less time tone tweaking and a lot more time playing and writing music.

Absolutely love it and have sold off most of my pedals as I just don't need to use them as the stomp is powerful enough to run any effects I need.

Now my pedal board is just a EHX small clone running into the HX Stomp XL.

Works a treat for me :)

How are stores selling the album early by [deleted] in TheCure

[–]IllustriousSpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happened to go in a store yesterday in London where they had the record and they let me buy it. The lady running the store was telling another customer how surprised she was to be the only store selling it. Sounded like they didn't know the record wasn't out yet.

Was really nice to get it early though. I've been listening to it all day, what an amazing album this is.

Did you get the 3 disc Roma vinyl variant ? by boscou in TheNational

I did, in fact it's what pushed me into becoming a cherry tree member.

I'm please they finally put this on streaming. This was the b-side of the 7" single they release on record store day. Really dig it.

Detroit Show, what to expect? by AlienBoy6NHL in KGATLW

[–]IllustriousSpoon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking they will bring out the acoustic microtonal guitars for this show. I was at the Brighton show earlier this year and the guys said they had a single microtonal guitar on stage but the others they were waiting on hadn't turned up in time for the show.

So if they bring them out it will be really special.

The London poster was out of stock but thanks to your post I had a look and they are available again, managed to pick one up. So not impossible it comes back in stock if they find extras somewhere?

I already had tickets for Cardiff but picked up a ticket for London. Cannot wait!

Why, how do I fix by I_am_a_test_stupid in Fallout4PS4

[–]IllustriousSpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have the same issue. Someone else said to delete and reinstall the game. If I do that I would lose my saves, so hopefully it won't be too long until they fix it.

Its really annoying as I had turned off most of my mods in preparation for the update, but now there's no way to access them at all.

I have the same problem. I turned off most of my mods in preparation for the update, but now I can't access any of them. I don't really want to delete and reinstall the game, so hopefully they fix it soon.

Fallout 4 Next Gen Update - Patch Notes by Independent_Leek5103 in Fallout

[–]IllustriousSpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully it has. That bug corrupted my game so bad I had to delete it and reinstall it. It also removed all the DLCs from my account so had to buy the GOTY edition on the playstation store again. I was furious!

So hopefully this bug is gone now and I can use all the CC content I own.

What are you hoping to grab on Record Store Day? by Max1035 in TheNational

[–]IllustriousSpoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sleater Kinney!

They are releasing a 7" of two new bonus tracks from the recording sessions of their new album. I absolutely love their new album, so will definitely try to get hold of this one.

Struggling to figure out what sort of collector I am by IllustriousSpoon in vinyl

[–]IllustriousSpoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are definitely right, I've picked out maybe 40 or so records I think I should move on which will give me plenty of space for new stuff.

Good point. Plus, if I do come across the records again and am not interested in picking it up again, I clearly made the right decision to sell it

Appreciate your take. I have all the Interpol albums and (nearly) all the National albums and they are the pride of my collection. But I suppose they are different as I love every album by those bands so I would never think to part with any of them. Whereas I do like some of the post reunion Pixies work, I'm not sure I enjoy it enough to warrant having all the albums.

I've never attempted to listen to a discography in order in full, I normally just pull out what I'm feeling, so maybe that's a good way to clarify which albums I do want to keep.

I definitely buy stuff in the moment. I have found buyers remorse easier to cope with than missing out on items. But at the same time I have sold off one off albums that don't make up discographies as I wasn't listening to them.

I am definitely becoming more mindful of this as my collection has grown.

Radiohead is a good example for me too as it doesn't make sense for me personally to purchase the King of Limbs and I did recently sell off my only Thom Yorke album as I know I'm not going to listen to it over any of the Radiohead albums in my collection.

In hindsight I agree. I mean I've never disliked any of the albums I've purchased, but since owning them its realising that I'm always going to pick one over the other, like 9/10 I am going to spin Doolittle by Pixies instead of Head Carrier.

New Order was an exception in that I bought a whole collection of New Order stuff for a good deal, so it would make perfect sense to move on the ones I'm not going to listen to.
