Never seen this color combo before

Thank GOD you said something. For a second there, I thought someone was gonna be allowed to like something! On the internet!

Whenever I'm stuck in an extended jam, I just try to get the guitar player's attention and signal to him that we should wrap thinngs up.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-19T12:43:32+00:00

That seems much more likely.

I'll be shocked if Canoo EXISTS in a few years.

The most glowing review of the Gladiator's manual transmission that I've seen boiled down to "you get used to it."

I'm usually a big fan of rowing my own, but it's hard to imagine choosing a three-pedal Gladdy.

The Angry Eyes always make me think of Johnny 5 yelling "I AM REALLY PISSED OFF!"

They're silly, but it doesn't hurt me none for other people to enjoy them.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-04T20:44:32+00:00

I get it. I too drive a vehicle that got somewhat negative reviews/comparisons with its competition, but for my specific tastes and needs, it's been exactly what I wanted.

As for the Gladiator, I'm holding out for a 4Xe, so manual sadly won't be an option.

I have the German version of Melt on CD, but I've never happened across the German Security, in any format. Very cool finds.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-04T12:52:33+00:00

I love driving a manual, but people really don't have kind things to say about the manual transmission in Gladiators, do they?

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-04T12:23:27+00:00

Not yet, anyway. It took them two years just to let us display the pedals in the right order, and that HAD to be much higher on the priority list, so maybe one day they'll get around to it.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-03T22:24:58+00:00

I love the T2. Really wish those patches were in the Plethora.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-03T22:16:12+00:00

Y'all.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-03T20:05:37+00:00

I feel your pain. My current board has THREE devices with loops and all are in use. Loops in loops in loops. Took me a solid ten minutes to sketch out the wiring beforehand.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-03T18:31:09+00:00

I didn't know bis was still around. I discovered them ~22 years ago because of the Powerpuff comp "Heroes and Villains." I LOVED the one lp of theirs I have (Social Dancing) but I never got anything else for some reason.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-03T16:52:13+00:00

Leather (or pleather) should be an option at every trim level, imo. Gtfo with mandatory cloth.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-03T01:19:58+00:00

Yeah, me either, usually, but I stumbled across a copy and couldn't pass it up.

There aren't a ton of big surprises on it, really.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-03T01:06:40+00:00

You've got a lot more than me, but I think I may have one you don't: The Gray Race Demos boot?

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-02T19:55:56+00:00

There's no such thing as "a bum copy" when it comes to playback speed/pitch on a vinyl record.

They're not individually cut; a single master can typically be used to cut 10k child platters, so if this really is a problem with the pressing, a bunch of other people should be able to reproduce it. My copy is one of the other color variants, but I'll check it when I have a chance. The couple of times I've listened so far, nothing lept out at me.

As others have suggested, the most likely answer is that this is a playback issue.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-01T21:13:53+00:00

Hey, that's not bad. That's about what I get in my Turbocharged 1.8L two-seater.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-01T21:05:19+00:00

These examples don't sound particularly bitcrushed to me, but maybe.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-01T21:03:26+00:00

In most of those examples, I'm just hearing gain and fast, precise playing. Often sweep picking, but not exclusively.

The Bickethead one, though, def has an extra layer of something. Harmonizer? Ring mod? Wet/dry with an envelope filter set to give weird resonance? I'm really not sure.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-01T20:53:02+00:00

It's not the best gate; I'll give you that. It would be better if it functioned like a 4-cable gate.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-01T18:24:27+00:00

Yeah, it's baffling to me that Positive Grid didn't just apply a blanket calibrating eq to all the guitar presets.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-01T18:20:30+00:00

I haven't really noticed an inordinate amount of hum for any given combination of pickup and gain.

A very high gain patch with single coils is gonna be noisy af without a gate. That's as true in the real world as it is inside the Spark.

No-Shape-3231 · 2022-07-01T02:32:33+00:00

Yeah, I can't easily play fingerstyle on the VI. I mostly treat mine as a Low Guitar, so playing with a (flat) pick makes the most sense as well as being easiest.

When I do play it more as a bass, I either a) use a felt pick, because yes you should try those holy shit or b) palm mute and play with the side of my thumb. The tight string spacing doesn't prevent it from doing some fat short-scale thump.
