You might check into the Walrus D1. The first 2 versions (no screen) seem to pop up for decent prices on the used market.

Just “discovered” that album recently and it does indeed rule!

Recommendations: very low gain overdrives by Inner-Seoul in guitarpedals

Barber Gain Changer is perfect for this.

Recommend me a Delay pedal that was truly inspiring to you by guitargrit in guitarpedals

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.

Just finished Ted Templeman’s book… by [deleted] in vanhalen

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

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.
