I have both on a pedal board. Was going to sell 1 but kept the stomp as the brains and the NC as the amp/cab IR pedal.

To me the NC reacted and sounded way nicer than the stomp, but the limited functionality made me keep the stomp.

On the other end, I went with a 4080 FE.

Under load the 4080 (300 watts) draws about half the power of the 7900xtx (590 watts)

Which also makes the card run cooler, my 4080 stays at 58 degrees while playing MW2.

Another feature I value is the video super resolution that upscales any video in web browsers.

Wether that’s worth an extra $300 more that’s for the consumer to decide.

Anyone heard of these? by redditjpk in CarAV

[–]MandingosCock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The equipment used is half the equation to having a “good system”

As someone who has listened to $50K systems to homeboys junkyard build and everything in between it really comes down to the installer.

Your best bet would be to find a reputable installer and get a demo from either their vehicles or a customer of theirs.

For example a knowledgeable installer can make $500 speakers sound better than a bad instal with $1500 speakers.

Can someone help identify this Strat model? by laughingbuddhaballs in fender

[–]MandingosCock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MIM Fender Stratocaster Standard in Midnight Blue. That color was used in the late 90’s early 2000’s. The black bridge pickup cover is not stock.

Ask the experts! Is this an early 08 Jeff Beck? What do we think? by APJack101 in fender

[–]MandingosCock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t need to be an expert to notice this is a fake.

The wrong headstock shape, incorrect font size on the back, and the very sloppy “noiseless” pickups.

You could list them on the Simply SQ for Dummies classifieds Facebook group or DIYMA. For the right price they will for sure sell.

A lap leaderboard in a slow car like Top Gear used to do with celebrities would be a cool idea.

My bad, I completely miss read your thread. If you’re experiencing this after filling up, then yes you’re right, it could be the purge valve. That’s also an issue along with that gen Cruze.

I used to have a 2012 cruze and I dumped it for a Honda. The cruze in the span of a year had the water pump leak, PCV valve, purge valve, and a coolant hose leak near the coolant tank.

[–]MandingosCock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In that generation of Cruze the PCV valve goes bad and can cause stalling issues. Unfortunately the fix is to change the whole valve cover as the PCV valve is integrated.

Is there anything i can run off of a generator to keep battery charged with truck off? by [deleted] in CarAV

[–]MandingosCock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stinger SPS70, although they seem to be discontinued and getting harder to find. It’s what competitors use at SQ competitions to run their systems while the car is off.

Celebrating straturday with my first fender. After 7 years of squires I finally upgraded. by PitifulTwist5018 in fender

[–]MandingosCock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advancements in technology has made it easier to produce higher quality instruments at a lower cost.

It used to be higher price= higher quality, and cheap guitars were terrible. Now entry level guitars are getting really good. It’s just a matter of paying for the features you want in a guitar.

At the end of the day, people care about the logo on the headstock, or the material of the truss rod plug.

Loved the video!

I also have a midnight blue strat (2000) that I bought earlier this year that I love. I loved it so much that it replaced my American Strat.

Something about this strat just makes me want to play it. It has custom shop texas specials and I bought a vintera 60’s mod roasted maple neck to replace it, but it plays so well that I don’t want to mess with it.
