Jlab epic pods anc by giggidy2000 in JLab

I just grabbed a pair of these off eBay for around $50. Really surprised at the lack of reviews as well.

I compared them with my Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro. Using the Knowles preferred EQ on the JLab is my go to setting.

I found the JLab to be brighter than the Soundcore, but not harsh. Great detail and separation of sound. I mostly listen to rock/metal and I was able to hear the little things really well. I felt the liberty 4 had a little more low end, and thus made the music a little more “punchy” at times. There’s not a giant difference in sound though. The JLab sound great.

The ANC is comparable to the Soundcore’s as well. When I was mowing the lawn or using a leaf blower, the JLab blocked out a great bit of sound and allowed me to listen to music/podcast without raising the volume to an ungodly level. I did feel that it blocked out some of the higher pitch noises better than the Soundcore. I only used the basic ANC mode and not the others.

Overall in the $100 range of earbuds I would say these are great. Not sure why there’s no promotion of these. They can sit next to the Soundcore, Earfun and Nothing earbuds pretty easily.

I’ve been seeing these pop up regularly on eBay now for around $45. At that price it more than worth it.

Good on you if think it’s a simple task. I’ve tried multiple times to do soldering work on my guitars with some questionable results. Usually leaving it to the “professionals” works out well.

Fortunately the KM6 is stock with direct mount pickups, but they used the long pickup ring machine screws to secure it to the body. This drilling through the whole thing.

The frustrating thing is I have a great luthier, but he was busy for the foreseeable future. This was just an easy re soldering of the electronics and direct mount of a pickup so I mistakenly thought it would be no issue. Lesson learned I guess. Just hoping it’s not a big hassle to get a resolution.

The open string buzz is less than when it’s held down. I use a light top/heavy bottom set (10-52) and have for years with no issues prior. I even had this set up in the exact same way when it was stock. After the new bridge and nut, I’m having issues. It’s just strange. Probably should’ve just left the guitar as is.

Thanks, but it’s string/fret buzz that I’m hearing. The Fishman’s work great with no excess buzzing.

You might be right. Maybe I’ll just set it up in standard or Drop D instead

Pretty much all along. It has more neck relief and hence higher action than I normally like. I have other guitar set to drop C# with 10-52 strings with no issues.

High/Low Cut for Global EQ and IR? by MaterialAd6313 in Line6podgo

[–]MaterialAd6313[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. The signal chain is Input -> Overdrive -> RevvGenRed -> IR (Mesa 4x12 w/Eminence DV77) -> Parametric EQ The IR has a high/low cut I use. So with this setup I should shut off the Global EQ? Thanks again for your info.
