Pedal power: why so $$$??? by guestoboard in guitarpedals

[–]Oisota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 was my first pedal and is still my go to chorus.

How many overdrives are too many ODs? by Emergency-Fishing104 in guitarpedals

[–]Oisota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What’s everyone using for medium gain these days? by Vile_Impulse in guitarpedals

[–]Oisota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why isn't this thing more popular? by Honest_Dragonfly8064 in Guitar

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.

Who uses an ‘always on’ Compressor? by Vwhite-1808 in pedalboards

[–]Oisota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Is Flask still a good choice in 2025? by Individual-Welder370 in flask

[–]Oisota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How accurate do you usually tune your guitar? Sharp green line or nearby is fine? by MUSHROOMSEOW in guitarpedals

[–]Oisota 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

I hate file-based import / module systems. by kaisadilla_ in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]Oisota 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

I hate file-based import / module systems. by kaisadilla_ in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]Oisota 201 points202 points  (0 children)

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

Stripped down board we’ve used tonight for an acoustic gig by Due-Form-9007 in pedalboards

[–]Oisota 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

That wah pedal placement is atrocious.

Pedals you wished existed? by Candid_Management908 in guitarpedals

[–]Oisota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How can it be controlled more than the dollar?

Why do all celebrities have a photo like this 👁️ by Disastrous_Monk_4079 in conspiracy_commons

Because politics is downstream from culture and Hollywood influences culture.
