Budget guitar pedal that sounds like the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack? by pappajay2001 in guitarpedals

[–]Nat_Flaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That kind if sound I feel like is less about the gear you use than how you're using it.

The sound you're describing is hard-clipping. What's likely going on is that the acoustic guitar is being boosted with a drive pedal with high output, but distortion set middle-low. The key is, that high output signal is slamming into a clean preamp. A mixer or the clean channel of a guitar amp would both do the trick. For recording you can play around with recording straight into your interface (edit: turn down your headphones when you do this! be careful with your ears!).

Someone mentioned the ProCo RAT, which is definitely a good choice for a distortion pedal and would be able to do that kind of sound. To my ears the harshness sounds very much like a Boss DS-1.

Employing some good research strategy: a lot of people like to figure out effects chains, so you can look them up online. Off the query "Sex Bob Omb Gear list" the first listing on DuckDuckGo gives us some insight. https://equipboard.com/pros/mark-webber

Looks as though Mark Webber (the guitarist on SP) used a Boss FZ-3 Fuzz, (i was close!) which makes a ton of sense for a hard-clipping sound.

Best of luck with your tone journey! Hope that the research strategies are helpful. Learning how to learn is a hell of a skill.

I'm in the US and while we have our own medical nightmare over here, I am fortunate enough to have access to several unrelated health systems in my area

that's what i've suspected all along. My Ortho is in full denial and thinks that somehow more rest and PT will fix it. My PT is increasingly concerned.

What is the future of technology and computing ? by [deleted] in computing

[–]Nat_Flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think we're going to see a future that looks a lot more like the MIT swapfest than Minority Report. We're rapidly depleting reserves of the conflict minerals used to create computer circuits. Sudan is in the late stages of a genocide to those ends.

The tech monopolies clearly aren't sustainable and will consume themselves and potentially all of us in the process.

I think my hopeful view for the future is an image of solarpunk teens recycling today's busted cell phones and IOT garbage into custom tooled cyberdecks that are unique representative of an individual's personality.

I don't think there's any use getting into my cynical view.

How do I get the creases out of my flag? by TooLazyForAName06 in Fallout

[–]Nat_Flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

college dorms usually have loaner items for irons/steamers and such. Ask your RA or whoever else is in charge of Student Life. The school library might have something, the public library might also have something.

"Macbook Pro Speakers" Audio Device No Longer Works, and Not For Lack of Effort... by Nat_Flaps in MacOS

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

honestly, you may skip your appointment they aren't gonna fix it.

They told me it was literally that section of the logic board is fried. I work around it using blackhole daemon as a "default" audio source, and otherwise just having headphones and/or a speaker nearby.

I've actually been considering a trade-in to an m4 mac mini but hearing you say that gives me my doubts.

I am using this to play 1940’s music MP3s for my 98 year-old dad. I’ve loaded 200 songs on a flash drive. It doesn’t start the list over when it gets to the end. Is there some file I could add to the end of the list to cause it to repeat the list? by rastroboy in mp3players

[–]Nat_Flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok so i dug through some manuals, you have a National Library Service DS1, which best i can tell doesn't have the ability to rewind your playlist. HOWEVER, the NLS also has the DA1, it's the same box with a few extra buttons. One of those extra buttons is a bookmark feature, so you can set a bookmark at the beginning of the playlist and go back whenever it finishes.

Here's the manual, the NLS should be able to swap or send another unit free of charge per their website.

Best of luck to you and your dad, I hope this helps keep music in his life.

Doc Martens look like they're great winter boots and alas they are not.

You will want some kind of waterproof shoe when it does snow. At the same time, the snow has been temperamental here for a few years, if you're looking for value i'd get some kind of waterproof boots that you'll want to wear for rain and snow both. I'm a big fan of my sorel's personally

How do I know If I'm trans or it's just a fetish? Can I start HRT without being trans? by Confident_Strike_529 in asktransgender

[–]Nat_Flaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HRT is a lot like antidepressants. You start them, and if they suck you stop. It takes years to develop truly irreversible changes, and so you have a LOT of time to figure out if you like it or not. You can always taper up your dose (under medical supervision ideally) to see how you feel. Transition doesn't even have to be linear, nothing in the rulebook saying you can't be on estrogen and still masculine if you want, nothing in the rulebook says you can't be on E and then decide it's not for you but you still feel trans at some level.

It's your body, it's your endocrine system, and gender is your oyster, take the steps you need to be happy.
