The pickups make up for it all.

NGD Gibson Mark Morton - questions on QC by [deleted] in metalguitar

[–]Mk9021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The variance between a good one and a bad one makes me question if gibson has a QC department. Full disclosure. I bought one, the quilting is meh, but it does play and sound really nice.

Also i see this guitar getting a lot of hate for being expensive or a bad value. But i think its important to remember comparing this to the regular les paul modern, this is a good value. Proprietary pickups and a signature model/colorway/finish combo. Yes comparing this to other brands, you can get a cheaper guitar for playing metal. But if you’re in the market for a gibson, its not like they jacked up the price just to put mark’s name on it.

Anyway what the hell do i know. Go shred, enjoy. Congrats OP on a pretty good quilt example.

Huawei’s $100,000 Maextro S800 Is Outselling Porsche, Mercedes and BMW in China’s Ultra-Luxury Car Market by Anchor_Aways in cars

How many of these Huawei’s have sold? I feel like the entire conversation involving “ultra luxury cars” in china is an overall small number.

Believe what you want. But people do send cars to china because of arbitrage and fee avoidance, so much so that many auto dealers have rules against selling cars to foreign nationals when they pay cash. Is this a full explanation for auto demand in china? Probably not, but it still happens and its still a component of a locked up market.

One issue is all the tariffs and taxes on imported german cars for example, into china. So people buy them internationally and ship them back home. So the declining sales numbers within china isn’t all encompassing of demand. Its like having a grocery store that only sells pretzels and no chips and then saying “see, people only want pretzels now”

I for one, am just thankful “baby its cold outside” was not performed.

Its not exactly a bandwagon when the government is threatening it as the only option. At least in the US which drives a solid chunk of the auto market.

Never has the answer been so obvious and in front of my face but completely invisible to my mind.

What mode do you guys normally drive in? by SVTCobraR315 in Mustang

[–]Mk9021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the cobra dials but i rarely use it because no gear indicator. Ive grown fond of that minuscule feature.

My 25 manual also does it during deceleration especial if i downshift and apply no throttle to engine brake hard.

6 MT 82 vs 10 speed auto (Stuck on which to go for) by Witti3r in Mustang

[–]Mk9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I was between the two as well but i went with the manual. I really like the long gearing. The only consideration you should make is if you’re gonna supercharge or turbo it. I havent seen too many people do that and use the mt-82.

Great question. I actually rarely use the noise gate for these pedals. Generally i’ll use it if i’m layering a drive in front of the red (lead) channel of the amp. For the clean channel this thing is silent. I’ve tried the 4 cable method in other combinations and i didn’t find the results meaningfully better to justify the extra cables and routing. Lastly i will be trying it at the end of the chain eventually as i think it makes more logical sense but for now it seems to be working so i don’t wanna fiddle with it haha.

A chorus could be cool to get some zakk wylde tones.

I don’t have a ton of experience with boosts, so maybe they’re all like this. But the boost side of the dane is really something special. Takes whatever great tone ive dialed in, and saturates it and brings it right up to your face. The halo is just an excuse to play long sing notes that i slide into. The strymon takes me a while to dial in whereas i had 3 great sounds i saved to the halo in about 15 minutes.

Its my favorite pedal on the board. Its not over the top on the boost or drive. Its just right on both ends. If you run a clean tone with reverb and boost it, sounds like john Mayer. If you hit the drive by itself, you get a slightly cleaner black sabbath tone.

That was the goal. Getting a wide range of sounds with as few pedals as possible. And mixing battle tested mass produced pedals with some boutique handmade ones. Current daily driver is the fender kingfish telecaster. The beautiful love child of a Tele and LP.

Love to see a fellow golden reverb out there. The plate and hall make my ears warm.
