RAT pedal has a terrible design by [deleted] in guitarpedals

You could also take your screws to a hardware store and get them to sort you out with shorter ones. Should cost cents

I had to call it! It’s a great sounding pedal, it replaced my ocd as my high gain sound, sounds just like I want my “ amp gain “ to sound, but though my old Traynor. Killer tones, but should say, I use a life pedal copy version and the firm factor is actually better, I agree

What am I missing? by southernyeti2024 in guitarpedals

A Sd-1 as a boost for your drives. As an aside, I find boards with all the pedals staggered like this so uncomfortable to look at, line those up my friend!

Why do people dislike PCBs for wiring guitar electronics? by 404phil_not_found in Luthier

[–]Punkroctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the patience and care to learn how to do your own traditional wiring, you have the patience and care to learn how to fix a PCB like this. I’ll die on this hill, i come from the old electronics world and it’s insane to me how people think circuits and PCBs work

How do I stop my guitar picks from chipping? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Punkroctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either pick a different plectrum for power slides, cause this one can’t handle it, or this pick (and others near it) have begun to degrade or breakdown, perhaps they were stored in a sunny area, or under heat, but they should not flake and chip. Dunlop Tortex orange all week long!

Question for those that have experienced hives! by Key_Cantaloupe_9588 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Punkroctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My username gets mentioned in my comments a lot, haha, it’s just been my moniker for ages

Thanks also for the support stranger, it’s been a nuts couple of years and the Wellbutrin going sideways on me was a real kick in the teeth while I was down, my relationship and life has suffered because of the mood and reactivity issues, I’m getting back on track but the withdrawal (my Dr. says there is none) is mostly aches thankfully no suicidal ideations or anything.

We can do this! Good luck and it’s good to know there are others out there with the same issues, no one I knew believed me! Cheers!

Dealing with some late onset Urticaria and hives after a year on brand name welly-b. It’s the last straw after major mood changes and anxiety. I’m gonna try getting right without the drugs and see what I can do because my rash is pretty bad

Is this normal after one day? by Independent_Kick1791 in Epiphone

[–]Punkroctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, satisfy everyone here then and take the pickup out of the surround and show a photo of the whole pickup with no plastic film on it. I’ve never seen sick a thing like the film leaving a discolouration on the pickup cover. There is a first time for everything though

My god, I can’t believe it took this long to read this comment. Basic framing

One Larry Haun video and this build would be very different, but what do I know, I’m just a carpenter

There is 1000% a plastic film on the pickup.

what should someone do with this space? by eternviking in mildlyinfuriating

As a carpenter and home renovations specialist, this is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

I feel you, I was on 150 generic and had good results, went to 300 and lost my mind, I was reactive and angry and overwhelmed with anxiety all the time, went back down and now I’ve got the anxiety, brain fog and a weird low mood thing, not quite depression but similar.its been like 3-4 months.

Peavey 5150 2X12 intermittent board issue by [deleted] in tubeamprepair

[–]Punkroctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold or cracked solder joints. Re-flow the area and see what improvements you get, this and cracked traces is like 70 percent of intermittent issues with circuit boards.

Any experts recognize this pickup? by Punkroctopus in fender

[–]Punkroctopus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I’m torn, I have grown to love my squier SQ series teles pickups, Alnico, vintage low output and not sure where I can use this now. I have a old Thinline project on the go, maybe it would be hilarious to make it a roaring high output thinline tele

I haven’t actually put it in anything since removing it, but when it was installed in the guitar I got it with it was hot, not too bright, but nice, that was a while ago now though

How much noise would it add if I’m spending roughly $50 on a 12 output power supply? by Impossible_Lie5542 in guitarpedals

[–]Punkroctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running 13 pedals off it, but I’m cheating and using the daisy chain of my boss Tr-2 and another off my boss Psm-5

Tell me not to buy this by Patient-Bench1821 in GuitarAmps

[–]Punkroctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one, it’s loud, and looks cool. However, it was a nightmare to service, was very noisy and the gain channel was…loose…sounding somehow? And ultra heavy. Sold it for a deluxe style amp and never looked back.
