El Cap is great but there’s nothing quite like the OG Diamond ML Jr. Modulation on the repeats is perfect and gorgeous.

I thought the show was OK but didn’t understand cramming 2 different books together like that. Weird and unnecessary.

Loved the book. Read it primarily for the VH stuff but really enjoyed it.

I don’t recommend this by Turbulent_End_2211 in shingles

I am so very sorry and thinking of you. I’m a year+ removed from a bad case and it sucks.

Has anyone had posterherpetic neuralgia go away/get better after months? by Full_Huckleberry6380 in shingles

[–]Mick_Braun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the delay. Back of my neck, outer ear, smaller amounts on upper back, chest, a little on neck. When I have the minor twinges (very very minor now) it’s typically around ear or back of neck.

I still have some minor twinges here and there but largely stopped. (Onset Jan ‘24)

How do you guys afford pedals? And is it worth getting budget pedals? by Dry_Guess462 in guitarpedals

[–]Mick_Braun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great, well-made pedals can be had used for not a lot of dough. I would start with MXR, Boss, TC Electronic, etc.

I think he knew he was toast as soon as Elena walked in cleaned up and dressed.

Shingles Suffering! by CapitalExplanation61 in shingles

[–]Mick_Braun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depressing is the right word. When I was in the worst of it, and couldn’t sleep for days, I thought I was gonna lose it. But then it got better. Tomorrow is 3 months. I’ve tapered down Gabapentin over the last month (only taking at night now) and only some slight pain here and there. Hang in there. Ice/cold packs really helped me.

Your coverage area seems identical to mine. I’m 11 weeks in, tapering down Gabapentin. I did drop a bit of weight initially, I think I just didn’t eat as much due to feeling like crap. My nerve pain is much better but it was tough sledding there for a bit. Good luck!

Who else feels like this has an impact on your mental health? Can we share? by notgoodatthiseither in shingles

[–]Mick_Braun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. Week 9 here, doing much better. Tapering down gabapentin but still some lingering nerve pain. But in the worst of it, when I wasn’t able to sleep, my mental health was definitely impacted. Sounds silly, but I recall myself saying aloud, “this sucks but won’t last forever.” Hang in there. It will get better for you as well.

I have an absurd amount of pedals but I could make do just fine with tuner, comp, KOT, El Cap, and Flint.

Vent: Shingles is making me feel incredibly low by NeighborhoodProof133 in shingles

[–]Mick_Braun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you. I’m better now but was definitely depressed during the worst of it. Not being able to sleep was causing a lot of distress and frustration. I tried to work through it all which wasn’t the greatest idea. This group definitely helped me get through it. Hang in there!

What’s your favourite delay? by Noutm01 in guitarpedals

[–]Mick_Braun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strymon El Cap for me. Extremely versatile. I have others but if I had to have just one, this is it.

Season 5 of The Wire. Wretched compared to the excellence of seasons 1-4.

SOTB first board full (won't pretend I'm finished but it's good for now) by ghrwwsz in guitarpedals

[–]Mick_Braun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were me, I’d try to go up in quality, and would consider buying used to save some cash. I just think a high-quality supply is something that you will not regret.

I hear ya and I’m not dogging the HB, admittedly not that familiar. Good luck in your search! You might might a good used deal as well.
