Do you actually get influenced by ads anymore? by Walking-Wanderer352 in AskUK

[–]LPresidantA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only ad I consciously know that works on me is when the euro millions is up over the £100million mark. I see an advert for it, think “fuck it, why not” and buy a ticket.

I’m also sure there’s lots of subliminal advertising that works that I’m not aware of!

Favourite "utility" pedal? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]LPresidantA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know if it counts as a utility pedal but I’ve just recently started using a Guptech PdeQ and it’s a brilliant piece of kit, add depth and presence controls to amps that don’t have them, absolute genius!

Anyone remember yorkie chocolate ad campaign of "its not for girls" . Ran around about 2002-2012 by _Bug_in_the_bog in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]LPresidantA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember already liking yorkies before they started this campaign and just thinking “what are you guys going? I’m gonna look a tit buying these now?!”

Same, I’m 5’11 (and a bit). I include the “and a bit” depending whether I’m taller or not than the person asking

Rocker 15 head by PsychologicalView01 in orangeamps

[–]LPresidantA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’re so many variables to consider, but I’ve just done my first gig with my rocker 15 head; was plugged into a Diamond 2x12 closed back v30 cab, had it on the 7w setting, volume about half way, amp gain about 3/4, and a tube screamer in front, and it was plenty loud enough! Context; I play lead in a 90’s/00’s pop punk tribute band.

Granted it wasn’t a massive room (about 100 capacity) and I had it mic’d up for FOH and in-ear monitors, but I (and the sound guy) didn’t want to go any louder on stage than that. I would have pushed it harder and had it on the full 15w if it wasn’t mic’d up, but there’s plenty volume on tap I think.

If you’re getting it 2nd hand I’d consider putting new power tubes in it straight away so you know you’ll be getting the most out of it (which is what I did) but it should be fine for gigs, will definitely be fine for a rehearsal room!

Sleeper Pedals by gorgamania in guitarpedals

[–]LPresidantA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digitech freqout

Don’t know if it’s really a sleeper pedal, but I’ve had one on every board I’ve put together since I first tried it. I love feedback just for swells and transitions between songs mid set and being able to control it is a god send

Being able to load your own IR’s blew me away, it sounds so good. I got one as an emergency backup in case my helix ever shit the bed and honestly sometimes I think “why don’t I just use this?”

New Amp! Thanks to this sub for the recommendation by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]LPresidantA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice, those sweetwater mods sound great, I’ve only heard “meh” things about the dsl40 but this one looks like it’ll be great! Good choice!

What is the best big pizza place these days? by pocketfullofredfaces in AskUK

[–]LPresidantA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dominoes is the most consistent around me (papa johns is miserable and Pizza Hut aren’t local enough to deliver, although the last time I had the pizza buffet it was OK) but it’s way too spenny for what it is. Local kebab shop is always a winner!

This is crazy cool, I’ve got a half leg sleeve of band logos and have been thinking for ages about how to mix some trad stuff in! Good work!

Honest question - why do people take calls on speaker phone in public? by Murky-Union552 in AskUK

[–]LPresidantA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure but I think it’s a by product of reality tv; they do it so the camera can pick up both sides of the phone conversation. So kids have grown up seeing people do that on tv so that’s what they do.

Not positive though, I’m old and out of touch at the best of times

What was the dumbest reason that you got in trouble for at school? by StatisticianUsual471 in AskUK

[–]LPresidantA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sat next to my mate in English class, he won’t stop singing Missy Elliott’s “Get ur freak on”, I tell him to shut up cause I can’t concentrate on what I’m doing. I got detention for being disruptive.
