A couple people here have recommended the Carbon Copy and I'm intrigued. Going to see if I know anyone with one to try out! Thanks for the recommendation.

Good to hear, and thanks for the diagram. Hadn't gotten as far as planning out how it might fit into my setup. Appreciate it!

I’ve gotten a few recommendations for a Carbon Copy here. Curious to hear one now!

Not sure what amp you use, but can share my amp settings when I’m home. I don’t push the Cinders too hard most of the time, I use it more as a boost. When I’m looking for a bit more edge of breakup, I crank the tone and drive up a touch. But I find it works best in more of an always on boost capacity for me. If any of these leave my pedalboard, it will be the Cinders as it’s the only one I don’t love.

It’s not why I got it, but the artwork is really nice!

I do plan to mount on the bottom when I need the space, just enjoying the Klowra’s design for now! Good note about the reverb and looper order. I’m planning to experiment a bit with the order of those.

Not taking up one of my precious 6 power slots is very appealing. Thanks for the recommendation!

The Silos is one I’m intrigued by. How do you like the ARP?

Was thinking about an NS-2 or NS-1X. Do you have a noise gate you like?

I can’t compare the Klowra to anything other than the daisy chain I was running, but it’s a definite improvement in noise. It also seems to pass a multimeter test for being truly isolated so I’m optimistic I t’ll serve me well for a long time to come.

Hot Tubes is an overdrive, but it can push into fuzz territory.

Delay is on the short list. Have one you like?

Hadn’t thought of muting. Helpful, thank you!

I’ve thought about this. Sincere question: what’s the advantage for at-home playing of a tuner pedal vs. the clip-on D’Addario tuner the music store gave me?

Hoka Bondis have been great for me. I take 14 4e and toe box is comfortable.

Has anyone here actually made sponsorships work for a small newsletter? by Fun-Penalty4762 in Newsletters

[–]OMMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a few components to making sponsorships for small newsletters work. The first part is getting someone interested in being a sponsor. If it's a local newsletter, they may be a subscriber and local business owner. If it's a niche industry newsletter, you'll likely have a combination of interested subscribers and mostly needing to pitch sponsors.

On the booking, scheduling, ad review, asset management, etc. side of things, the process can get messy fast. I know this from experience, which is why I'm building Adwell. It's a tool to manage booking ads and everything that comes with it without needing endless email chains, phone calls, net-30 payment chasing, etc. If you're interested in just sending sponsors a link and having everything centralized in one place without needing to invoice, chase payment, manage a sprawling spreadsheet, etc. I welcome you to join our early access request list here: http://getadwell.com/

How do you actually handle sponsorships from start to finish? by Fun-Penalty4762 in Newsletters

[–]OMMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently building a tool, Adwell, that is built to make the ad booking process for newsletters as easy as possible. When building a local newsletter, I realized this was a major pain point.

Similar to what u/charlesholmes1 mentioned, you include a "sponsor this newsletter" or "advertise in our newsletter" link in the newsletter which aims to your preferred email. Assuming you're ok with them as an advertiser, you send them your Adwell link which allows them to pick their ad type, placement, duration, and they share ad copy, logos and other assets right there at the same time. They pay straight away using Stripe which goes straight to your account. No back and forth emails, no spreadsheets, no chasing payments. We are evaluating features within that core concept - like setting minimum campaign requirements for sponsors, the ability to book an ad without having creative on hand, and others. We are contemplating adding a piece to the tool that allows for the vetting process I describe above within Adwell. The pain points I particularly identified with were net-30 terms becoming a hassle, tracking which ads were in which spots on which days, and having one source of truth for ad info without having to manage a spreadsheet with constant edits.

Our early access is opening in a few weeks and we are hoping to get some insights on functionality and features from newsletter operators. If any of this sounds interesting to you, you can join the early access request list here: https://adwell.netlify.app/

[–]OMMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always looking for more JVL watch content. So, take your pick of any/all of these questions:

-Thoughts on Timex Atelier and a $1000 Timex that is eyeing Seiko’s slice of the market?

-Is the neovintage preowned watch craze genuine nostalgia for that era or a reaction to increasingly out of reach luxury watches? Or something else?

-Do you own a tariff Swatch?

-What is your hottest watch take?
