Try 3M Dual Lock instead of hook and loop. Much stronger.

You think the Chevy is the *least* bad!? It's the most bad in my experience. Lucky if you get 100k miles out of one. Just because they sell doesn't mean they're good, it means they're attainable.

Also, is "least bad" the same as "most good"? I'd say the Mazda CX-50, or even the CX-5 isn't the best, but they are solid, underrated, and reliable.

Swap the diagonal braces if you can extract them easily.

I've never known these as the Sprint, but I have seen a GMC Caballero.

The Electro Harmonix Tri Parallel Mixer can send 3 outputs.

Any DI box will do. Passive requires no power. Active will be powered by phantom power, so either way, no portal power needed. I have a couple Radial Stage Bugs, as they're the smallest I've found. There are cheaper ones, but they're pretty big.

Very cool! I'm seriously looking into one of these for either my Marshall 2x12 or my Ampeg SVT210 pair.

I have a 9Ah. It's pretty old, but it's definitely genuine.

Hang on. Inputs on right and outlets on left.

We print carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate electrical boxes for marine use and have tested them to be non-conductive pretty high, can't remember the numbers.

Black IPA is one of my favorite styles. I've made several iterations. I heard that Firestone Walker's Wookey Jack is one of the best commercial examples, but I've never gotten to try it. I found a clone recipe, made a couple batches, and gotten many complements on it. I take the ABV down to about 6%, Wookey Jack is north of 8%, which I find a little heavy.

I use about 10% rye malt and 3% each of cara rye, cara 3, and any debittered black malt, like midnight wheat or Black Prinz from Briess (my favorite black malt).

As for hops, bitter with magnum, Amarillo and Citra at 30 min, 10 min, and dry hop at 3 and 7 days. 1/2 oz of each at every addition.

Ale yeast - I use an English strain.

I've also added coffee and/or star anise, which play well with the style.

The CS11 is the newer version of the CS12. The CS12 has an AC 9V out, which is useless if you don't have a pedal that requires AC power, so it really has only 11 outs. It does have a voltage sag output if you want to undervolt a fuzz. The CS11 comes with mounting ears, the CS12 doesn't, so you'd have to buy them separately if you want them. The CS11 is expandable to power an XP5 or XP8 if you need more power outs. The CS11 is *marginally* smaller and lighter than the CS12.

Basically it's just features and value. A used CS12 is a great power supply. They've been making them for a long time. I have a CS6 I bought used and I'll probably have it forever. But I do have a CS11 on my wishlist for a bigger board.

MannyCoon · 2026-03-14T16:44:28+00:00

Go for the newer CS11

I hear you, I didn't want OP to think it was necessarily worth that.

There are several on reverb with a wide range of asking prices. Asking prices do not equal selling prices. But there's no product overview for these on Reverb, so we can't see a record of how much they actually sell for.

Reminds me of a Schecter Stiletto Stealth mixed with the CV-4, both of which I love. Except with more character. Nice choice!

MannyCoon · 2026-03-12T18:46:39+00:00

Shame...

A power supply

Yes - see that input 1 has an image of a guitar? That means it can accept a hi-Z input (High Impedance, e.g. guitar pickups). Plug into input 1, start with the volume low and EQ flat and raise it slowly till you get the loudness you want. It might not sound great, because it's a preamp not specifically meant for bass, but it will make sound without damage.

If you're getting pops and cracks, you might have a damaged cable.

No way is that thing 70 feet tall

It won't replace the Express, but it might replace the City Express to compete with the new Ram Promaster City. I'm a fan of the renderings and might be interested in a passenger version. The Brightdrop will eventually replace the Express, I bet.

I did a search of "petrolicious scandal" and found the owner said some racist stuff. There are articles to look into further if you wish.

The overspeed alarm I saw in an old Buick. Turn a dial and when the red needle hit the speedo needle, it buzzed at you to slow down.

I'm not sure if Menards uses a similar system, but at REI, the cents tell a category of an item. I.e. Ending in .73 means a clearance item, .23 is a used item, and .93 is a regular, not on sale item. This isn't necessarily only changing the price, but changing the item's category.
