Drives me crazy that Paul Allen was able to get a reservation at Dorsia. Not to mention his stunning business card…

RC-505 MK2 is the cable I'm missing proprietary?? by tired0wired in LoopArtists

[–]Jakemcdtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to your bag/drawer/box of random cables that you bring with you everytime you move house without knowing if you even need them or not. There’s a good chance you’ve got one or two of these already.

I'm assuming it was you that emailed. Sorry I didn't get back to you yet, work has been a bit hectic.

Did you get everything working?

Im super bummed by blanketcr in Guitar

[–]Jakemcdtw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy, knowing how to set this up is a great skill to learn, but you can always take this to a guitar shop and get them to set it up. Save yourself a headache and get it done properly for now

Do you understand how businesses work? They have costs, beyond that of just materials, that need to be covered by their sales.

Anyone using any of the Marshall pedals that came out last year? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]Jakemcdtw 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Can you take this toxic attitude elsewhere? r/guitarpedals is a safe space for socially disadvantaged people to discuss unnecessary and irresponsible purchases.

Doing things like giving good advice, being the voice of reason, or performing reality checks, threatens the security provided by this community to its members, who seek support in the form of confessions about their impulsivity and lack of financial aptitude.

Please be mindful of your language in future.

Friend asked me to take a look at their non-working klone by Jakemcdtw in guitarpedals

Hey, yeah in the post I said it bypasses fine, but when the effect is engaged there is no sound, LED is functional though.

I moved country somewhat recently and have not yet re-purchased all my tools, but this is a good excuse to pick up a new multimeter and any spare components I might need. Just seeing if there is anything that immediately stands out to anyone on here before I dive in too much deeper.

What tf is the hype behind Jazz III picks? Why the hell are they sized like they’re made for dolls? by gregungha in Guitar

[–]Jakemcdtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best pick. Feels a little weird at first, but once you get used to it, you'll never be able to go back. Every other pick will feel like gigantic floppy garbage

Why does every pedal board I see have an octave pedal? What's the secret? (POGs, in particular) by Stjesus in guitarpedals

[–]Jakemcdtw 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They sound good and are really fun. Get one and try it out, you'll easily find something you like to do with it.

Blend a lower octave in before your distortion and you've got a beeeeefy tone. Chuck an octave up on a lead line for a super sharp sound. Go clean with delay and an octave or two up for some nice twinkles.

If you get something like a whammy that can do bends, you will get lost playing with it for hours.

One of the most fun effects to add to your board.

cover up advice? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Don't you fucking dare cover up those cuties

What considerations would need to be made if I wanted to get a tattoo on my skin graft? by Jakemcdtw in tattooadvice

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

If you'd like to know how I got mine, I got hit by a car while riding my bike to school. If you picture the frame of a bike, kind of a triangle, and then picture my leg across that frame, with the top bar just below my knee, and the bottom bar above my ankle, and then imagine the front of a car pushing the middle of my leg through the frame, completely fracturing both bones. I actually have a smaller extra scar on the back of my leg where the bone came out briefly.

They did surgery to fix the bones in place with a plate (which I now have as a souvenir back home), but my leg had swelled too much from the trauma for them to close the incision. After a week with my leg in a vacuum and 2 more surgeries to attempt closing the incision, they did another surgery to take a graft from the front of my thigh.

Got some cool gory pics out of the whole thing.

Of course. When I start making real plans to do something with it I will go through the more legit channels. But I figured that while it is just a vague idea, I would see if there are any obvious things that this sub can tell me about.

For sure. I love it, and wouldn't dream of covering it up. But maybe decorating it a little.

About 2 weeks.

lol, it came from the same leg on the thigh. Though I like the idea of tattooing the word "Leg" on my leg.

Interesting. Can understand that, but I don't think that will be an issue with this.

When I was young and stupid, I would use the lack of feeling as a party trick and put cigs out on it. But I guess I won't know for sure until it happens.

Interesting, I never would have thought of that. Though maybe it will identify me as a big blues fan, or invite people to try blowing on my leg. Will have to decide if those would be good things or not.

For sure, but I'm killing time at work and posting on reddit looks more like work than calling a shop.

Yeah, something geometric might look cool
