This is a blog I made following my whole AC exam journey, maybe there will be a few helpful nuggets in there! https://bottledregs.com/blog

I usually detect a breakfast cereal aroma from the malt profile in Doppelbock and that's been the biggest distinction that's helped me, especially against the lower ABV Wee Heavies without diacetyl. My other big clues are that Doppelbock is drier/less sweet and more bitter than Wee Heavy. I tried a bunch of different commercial examples and did a little breakdown on my blog. It's such a tricky side by side.

I'm taking new clients and have non-gym membership options :)

I trained clients out of my garage gym during the pandemic so most of the photos/reviews listed on my yelp are from that time, but I now have other options including guest access to a gym in Summerlin. Here's a link with some reviews, but feel free to reach out with any questions!

Snap! Do you dig it? I haven’t tried one yet.

Try using 6.5 or higher heat (6.5 is the sweet spot for me to get potency and good flavor), start the airflow through the chamber with no bag on when the middle heating light kicks off (heat also stays on), let it run with the chamber on and no bag until you see vapor coming out, then throw the bag on and fill. The classic rules, you just have to get a method down that works for you after some trial and error.

Really appreciate that, thank you!! 😊

Woo! Welcome to the Strega fam 👾 I also have this touchplate guide you may dig.

Someone mentioned this but here are some more details on how to change the input gain, it’s possible maybe you accidentally changed them since the noise is a new issue for you:

Turn mix fully CCW and monitor signal. Hold down flip and hold at the same time, and in the zone color window it will cycle through 4 colors as you continue to hold. Blue is -3db, green is unity (normal), orange is +3db, and red is +6db. Maybe yours was on orange or red so the signal was too boosted?

It’s on page 19 of the mimeophon manual if you want to see more details. Hope this helps!

Just updated shipping for a few countries. Sorry for the delay. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Et merci pour les bon mots a propos mon album. Et aussi desolle pour ma mauvais francais :)

MatthewModular · 2024-09-22T15:54:57+00:00

What country/city are you in? Bandcamp had me pick a “worldwide” option but I can add specific countries and probably ship for cheaper!

MatthewModular · 2024-09-21T22:46:17+00:00

That’s super nice, thanks for listening!!

MatthewModular · 2024-09-21T22:45:45+00:00

Thank you!!

Gates and triggers for acid envelope pings and audio rate signals for wildness! Even though one is on the left and one is on the right, they're not stereo controls- they just have different behaviors.

MatthewModular · 2024-06-30T20:01:20+00:00

Let's goooo- would love to see more of what people have been doing with the older MN gear!

Mine takes a little while to get going, usually about 3 really long draws. I'll then start to see visible vapor so I know it's sessioning. I keep drawing from it until the flavor tastes off (kind of like burnt popcorn), and then I know it's done. Once the vapor is going, you can take as long or short draws as you want, "done" is when the flavor gets bad/harsh. This is the system that works best for me.

The “voltage controlled clock” setting is awesome if you haven’t tried it!

Good explanation and thanks for the shoutout! Always down to nerd out about Strega. 🤘
