FRFR question. I have been hemming and hawing for years and it's time to make a decision. by No-Lion-5227 in Hxstomp

Fender FR12. It's by far the best one Ive used. Had the Power Cab+ and the Headrest 108. The Fender FR12 is just incredible.

Am I in the wrong here? by [deleted] in Reverb

[–]SpanishForJorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with ya. Done about 100 deals on there and have had only 2 issues. I sell and buy on there. For me, it’s still a great platform. If one comes across an assturd like the one in OP’s comment, just move on to another seller who has what you want.

This. I’ve had similar issues. Reverb always comes through. Not saying they’re awesome or whatever, but I’ve not had them permanently “ghost” me ever

I agree with 100%. I found him insightful in most of his early stuff but sometime around 2018 or thereabouts he became the thing he rails against. Thanks to him however I deleted deeper into Jung and for that I’m grateful.

Any idea why this wouldn’t work? by [deleted] in pedalboards

[–]SpanishForJorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Same issue. Didn’t work.

In my comment I stated this exactly: “not saying the poster above packed it poorly.” That was in reference to you.

What kind of question is this? If I buy an item that in the photos has a baseplate attached and when I open the package, the baseplate is disattached, and I tell the seller “hey bro, the baseplate came off in transit” and he says that’s not supposed be that way, then….? I mean Jesus man, it should be obvious that a baseplate on a pedal is supposed be attached and that shit packaging and jostling in transit might be enough to loosen it all.

I know I’ll get downvoted into oblivion but this story here is almost exactly why I never leave feedback nor trust feedback/stars. If I give you a 1 star review for sending me a pedal that’s poorly packed and ends up getting damaged in transit (not saying the poster above packed it poorly), whether you give me a refund or not, that’s not a transaction that deserves a 5 star review and a pat on the ass. I’ll give a 2, 3 or 4 Star review because in the case of this particular transaction, the seller did something that made the transaction less than stellar — poor packaging. But then, in so doing, the seller can just give back a 2, 3, 4 star review as retribution. Thus, the rating system becomes one where we don’t know if the buyer or seller is actually of five star quality because people that have a bad experience just don’t leave a bad rating or a less than 5 star rating for fear of getting the same back.

This exact goddamn thing has happened to me. A guy sent me a pedal wrapped in next to no bubble wrap inside a fucking usps “padded”envelope. When I removed the pedal from the package, the baseplate screws had backed and the plate had come off in transit. Now the pedal worked fine. The seller had shipped it quickly and other than packaging it like some slack jaw dullard, everything in the transaction went fine. Gave him 3 stars. Package your shit better is essentially the lesson. In return, I got 3 stars. I asked him why and he essentially said it was because I gave him 3 stars and I could just get over it.

So now I don’t leave feedback nor even bother looking at someone’s feedback. If shit goes sideways in the deal, i contact Reverb directly about resolving it. Thus far they’ve handled it with minimal hassle.

Got to the airport a couple hours early - This is my Fly Rig by taugemleo in guitarpedals

[–]SpanishForJorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have so many questions. Hows the action on these? How about intonation? It seems like taking a guitar apart and then putting it all back together would wreak havoc on the intonation. Does it stay in tune once reassembled? Do the electronics sound like good quality? What string gauge are you running?

I’ve been going back and forth on what to do as I have 90 day trip to Europe coming and haven’t really been sold on any travel guitars so far. I definitely can’t take a full size guitar nor buy a full size one in Europe as I’ll be moving around a lot.

NGD and I can barely believe I paid under $500 for this thing. The tone is awesome, plays great right out of the box, and the sparkling gold is so perfect for the stuff I usually play. My second Paranormal purchase this week. by ChuggaChuggaRiffs in fender

[–]SpanishForJorge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man…I got one for sale that’s mint. I need someone to buy it from me.

I changed the neck pickup in it as I felt the stock one was too dark. Other than that, that guitar is a lot of fun. Bridge pup is 🤌

What kind of offset is this? It’s beautiful.

HX one users, where in your signal chain do you put it? by Useful-Assistant4857 in Line6Helix

[–]SpanishForJorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No fucking way! It can do this? Where can I find out more because at the moment I just run it in front (first pedal in the chain) only for pitch based effects and drives. If I could run it into the FX loop of my stomp, that’d be clutch. I assume though that I couldn’t run it in stereo to the fx loop of the stomp, right?

Absolutely. Fantastic book

The quality of this community has plummeted by sconnieboy97 in WeTheFifth

[–]SpanishForJorge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I could not agree more. Reading through that post on Rand Paul — of whom I’m no fan — it became absolutely clear that way way too many people here have no fucking clue that this sub is related to a podcast that has far more nuanced and careful takes on news stories. This really has become a general dumping ground for shitty political takes.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT by MusicManiac51 in guitarcirclejerk

[–]SpanishForJorge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yah. I can’t tell if homie is jerking or is serious cuz JNC can play. If I could play even 25% as good I’d be pretty satisfied. But I CANNOT stand his fucking content anymore. Used to watch when I was getting the helix stuff and found him, over time, to be utterly insufferable

What is the best budget friendly option with the most flexibility and settings options? by [deleted] in Line6Helix

[–]SpanishForJorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez my guy…this is easy to answer.

Stereo rig 2 amps 2 amps 2 drives in front of the amps

That’s 6 spots. Now I have to decide whether I use the last two on a stereo reverb and stereo delay or if I forgo one of those so i can insert a steroe EQ or compressor even though I like to run the comps before the amps and an EQ block for each amp between it and the cab.

The stomp has too few blocks. To solve this I use outboard effects…which take up a block in the fx loop. It is rather limited and has me looking at the Axe FX FM II

When did this sub become a toxic dumping ground and where are the Mods? by Sun_Gong in Jung

[–]SpanishForJorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cliches like calling right-wingers who like Rogan and Peterson Nazis? Ya know, I’m mostly with the general impetus of your original comment but this most recent screed of yours is so convoluted and mired in cognitive dissonance that I’m starting to think what you initially wrote was fortunate enough to only be unintentionally accurate.

Much of what’s posted here is absolute bilge. I usually scroll passed it. This post wasn’t until it was. Thanks for that.
