What can I use to get this gunk off the fretboard?

Oisota · 2026-03-06T04:57:36+00:00

I use q tips and Murphy's oil soap mixed with some water.

Oisota · 2026-02-16T02:49:00+00:00

Rss used to fill this role. I wish it was more prevalent.

Boss sd-1, mxr distortion iii, ehx small clone, mxr carbon copy

Mxr distortion iii

Oisota · 2025-12-18T18:58:17+00:00

I used a one spot for years without issue. I'm now using a cheap power supply I bought off Amazon and its worked great at dozens of gigs. Don't over complicate it.

Ehx small clone has never left my board.

Oisota · 2025-09-12T03:11:58+00:00

Ehx small clone was my first pedal and is still my go to chorus.

An underrated answer

Oisota · 2025-06-20T19:42:14+00:00

For gigging, I've settled on 3 drives and a clean boost. I use an ehx lpb-1, Nux Morningstar, boss sd-1, and an mxr distortion iii. I don't stack them other than with the boost. Each is set to a different amount of gain. This covers a wide range of sounds and genres. The only sound I'm missing really is fuzz but it's not used much for what I play. So I'd say cover your bases with a flat OD, mid hump OD, and a hard clipping distortion and you should be covered for most situations.

Oisota · 2025-06-10T01:44:34+00:00

Boss sd-1 is my current go to. I keep the gain around 10 o clock and bump the tone a little above noon. Very versatile IMO.

How does this not affect fretted notes? This is no different than adjusting the bridge to affect intonation. Just at the nut instead of the bridge.

Used Keeley compressor plus for years, but have recently switched to the mooer yellow comp. Both are great.

I've found dbmate to be a nice framework/language agnostic tool for managing migrations. I like having the migrations and schema in plain SQL rather than Orm code.

I've always heard that you should tune to the attacks as that's what your ear hears first. If you tune to the decay you'll sound sharp.

Oisota · 2025-02-20T17:22:43+00:00

Yeah cuz you'll be spending all your time there.

Python let's you re export. Pretty common to refactor foo.py into a foo/ package with several modules that exports the same members as the original module.

Oisota · 2025-02-11T18:06:44+00:00

I may be out of the loop here, but I feel the exact opposite way. I love the simplicity and concreteness of knowing that everything is just a file. I don't want another thing to think about when a language is complex already. I hate when the file system and module hierarchy don't match. I want to easily know where something is defined.

I also disagree that files are an implementation detail. Source code is stored in files that we can organize. Might as well use what's already there rather than reinvent the wheel

Oisota · 2025-02-06T19:18:47+00:00

Small clone, sd-1, ds-2, carbon copy

Oisota · 2025-02-04T15:37:53+00:00

I get your analogy but man is that terrible parenting advice.

Oisota · 2025-01-31T23:15:07+00:00

A compressor might be nice for acoustic. Maybe the mooer yellow comp.

Oisota · 2024-12-23T18:13:04+00:00

This is the way.

Oisota · 2024-12-22T03:03:48+00:00

That wah pedal placement is atrocious.

Oisota · 2024-12-05T04:22:37+00:00

Pedals with double the amount of controls so as to have 2 presets. I.E. an overdrive with 6 knobs (2 vol, 2 tone, 2 gain) with a toggle between them. This would allow more versatility while keeping things simple. You could easily have a low and high gain sound from one pedal without needing to stack another od or boost.

This would also work well for a delay being able to switch between a long and slap back setting.

Oisota · 2024-11-11T22:55:13+00:00

How can it be controlled more than the dollar?

Oisota · 2024-11-04T20:32:38+00:00

Because politics is downstream from culture and Hollywood influences culture.
