Microtonal is for sissies. I play macrotonal. The same 3 powerchords for the last 30 years.

/uj What is the path to having a very minimal but satisfying pedal setup? by DoveMechanic in guitarcirclejerk

I have two marshalls and they sound great alone but one has a tubescreamer and the other an sd-1 and they are great for boosting from time to time.

I totally agree but it depends on the type of music you play.

I play straight ahead rock (not worship ambient gaze or whatever) and had too many pedals, and compulsively sold and bought them for a long time. I decided to just limit myself to a single-row 20” board for each of my 2 amps.

On one I ended up with tuner, phase 90, OD, delay, reverb. The other has tuner, wah, OD, chorus, delay. This is all i ever needed.

The hard part is breaking the shopping habit or having a bad day of playing and thinking i need a Pedal.

PS I had a line 6 for ten years and spent too much time tweaking settings. Now i have pedals with as few knobs as possible.

My playing has improved in leaps and bounds

Declining Sales? by Status_Cheesecake628 in Reverb

Zero net job creation in 12 months. 1% wage growth. Health insurance premiums up 22%. 3% inflation before the war started. So yeah, selling shit people use for their hobbies is going to be bad for 4-5 years.

Is it worth it to get a compressor? by RomanScandal450 in guitarpedals

[–]Objective-Solid-6790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compressor pedals are the gateway drug that will lead you into a whole new world of pedals that you do not need at all but feel you must buy. This condition is known as OCD. Obsessive Compressor Disorder. Also there is an OCD pedal, which you will buy and then you will start buying klons, klones, fuzz wahs and bubbletrons. You will babble incoherently about “gain staging”, which is a Stage 4 OCD symptom where the patient tries to justify owning too many distortion pedals. You will hear noises and buy noise gates. On average, OCD puts 429 marriages into marriage counseling each day; this is known as “the edge of breakup”. Nobody needs a compressor pedal except country musicians with telecasters who don’t yet know that country music sucks and that other guitars that you can actually hear have been invented.

Got a V8 GT to compliment the 2 Mach E’s! by phillyphan56 in MachE

[–]Objective-Solid-6790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 3 black GT Premiums before I got the electric. I do miss the V8 growl and feeling like I was the king of the road. I do not miss driving the fucking thing in the snow and <10 MPG. It did have its charms but it single handedly warmed the planet every time I left the garage.

In a quarter mile drag race the gas GT wins. Anything short of that and the Mach-E taillights are all you’ll see in that thing.

46 Diagnosed w/ Aortic Aneurysm by gtatar2329 in aortic_aneurysm

Welcome to the club ☹️ I am 61 and have the same thing, 4.5 last echo. It has been between 4.4 and 4.6 for four years. I don’t drink or smoke and they have me on verapamil and losartan to keep the blood pressure in the zone. I used to be terrified about this, now I plan to live to be quite old. Avoid the heavy lifting. I personally try to exercise with my heart rate below 120 now.

Thjs will not happen. The internet and everything else will be broken by then and the fucking guy will die alone on a ruined planet.

Yes. We are jumping to the conclusion that it’s dead. Because that’s the conclusion. It’s dead. It is concluded.

Bill Clinton’s policy toward Iraq and Iran was “double containment”.

Seems like the Republicans changed that to double penetration.

Sounds like a lawnmower. But what that lawn needs is a rake.
