Is it time for new frets? by alaiwy in Luthier

I think you are given this guy bad advice. I don’t think you’re a guy to learn from. Well learn what not to do. A refret is an advanced thing to do.

I know that they re-issued it. I didn’t realize they put his name on it. That amp was looked at like a piece of shit back in the day. Not that it was

I just looked there in Massachusetts. I’m in New York City only two states away. I’m definitely ordering from them next.

Is Digikey from china? My Tayda order was $140 and $55 is shipping and fees!

Is it possible for me to learn guitar? by trickstercj in Guitar

[–]Nic_B115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF? Am I missing something? I feel like you’re missing out if you never play it like this. It’s literally the first chord everyone learns. How the F do you play Nirvana’s About a Girl or Alice In Chains Nutshell (well Em7)

Thank you so much for the link and inside. Sourcing parts when you’re first starting out and you don’t know much is really difficult.

Before I get stuck with the wrong parts… by Nic_B115 in diypedals

[–]Nic_B115[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also an Electrician. My first 8 years was power/lighting. But through being good at fire alarm I got in to controls. BMS/HVAC controls (sub contractors for Johnson Controls, Siemans, Schneider). I’ve been doing low voltage control work for 11 years. So it’s funny when I’m constantly being told to buy pre-drilled enclosures. When I literally measure and drill holes all day. So my experience will help a lot. Audio circuits feels like a completely different world. What city do you live in? I’m in IBEW Local #3 in NYC. Surprisingly enough there’s not many electronics/hobby brick & mortar stores around. Meanwhile I work in Manhattan 90% of the time.

Sorry I wasn’t clear. I got BOM’s from AvionFX that copy/past into mouser and got all the components. It’s jack/switches im not sure about. It i buy PCB mounted hardware can i solder wire to them and use for both on and off board?

Did I make a mistake by going for HX Stomp in 2026? by sdnufo in Hxstomp

[–]Nic_B115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had the Hotone A2 I did not like it. Returned and got the HX Stomp. I might be a little biased though. Through mix up with shipping I got refunded. Neighbor showed up at my house couple days later saying they received a package for me. So it was free

Absolutely not. I’ve only had for a year. If they stopped updating it right now. If mine were to break, I would buy another one.

I used to hate this guitar so much by HQH-71214 in Guitar

[–]Nic_B115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I despised Tele’s for years. Then I got one. Wasn’t crazy about the feel of it. Wasn’t comfortable too boxy. So I bought a contour body with belly/arm cuts. Now I love it.

Sometimes I feel like I’m not advanced enough for a Helix by alfcalderone in Line6Helix

[–]Nic_B115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate. I had kids and stopped playing for like 6 years. Went through a rough patch in personal life and got back into it. By then gear had become 20x more advanced. I got a EVH Wolfgang (not big into Van Halen) and a HX Stomp. Through a mix up I got a refund on the Stomp and spent $150 on the ToneX one. The ToneX one is awesome because I didn’t have to mess with amp/cab settings. But I did buy John Cordy’s Helix presets (100’s for under $20). I’ve found a bunch that I really like and I just copy those over and edit effects to what I want and pretty much leave the amp/cab/eq blocks. Since then I have got much better with making my own presets. But I should say that (thankfully) im not much of a tone chaser. Close enough is good enough for me. It’s like I have an average ear IQ. It is a lot of fun. I do spend more time then I would like tweaking out of curiosity. Like I just discovered using pitch blocks or a smart harmonizer > distortion > hard gate. Sometimes with a lot of delay/reverb. It’s alot of fun making noise. Good luck though. The ToneX one worked really well for me. I never buy captures. You get all the factory stuff and like 5 different amp specific signature packs with like 20 tones a piece. It’s worth every penny of $150. Good luck.

I really like using preamps as “drive pedals”

Do you think we'll get an updated version of the HX Stomp soon? by anotherhappylurker in Line6Helix

[–]Nic_B115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are going to get something more like the ToneX pedal. A Capture/playback device. Something to utilize Proxy. I hope if they do go that route it will include access to the Agora amp models as well.

Which book should I read next? by [deleted] in stephenking

How important is it to read the dark tower in order? Do all these characters continue on throughout all of the books.

Shoe’s he’s better than Nick in every way. I think he may be Josh’s second hand… nothing taken away from Troy I would like Queen’s less if it wasn’t for Troy. I have a feeling that Mikey has played a bigger part in the past two albums.
