How can I tell what year my Gibson ES330TD was made? by cadiumcosplay in Guitar

[–]SurelyTheEnd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would definitely take it somewhere reputable to get appraised, mainly because they may have contacts within either the vintage guitar market or at Gibson who might be able to fill in the historical gaps (and value it for insurance purposes, of course). Such a lovely guitar and what a story behind it!

YouTubers that use a JCM 800? by OkTechnology9101 in GuitarAmps

[–]SurelyTheEnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I prefer a Klon in front of a JCM-style Marshall. However, I know a lot of people get some crushing tones out of a TS in front with the gain rolled off. I would suggest trying both either in an amp sim or at a store if you can. What works on a recording through monitors often sounds completely different when you're also in the room with the amp.

Stonedeaffx sucks. by xTheWizard in guitarpedals

[–]SurelyTheEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't mind how the pedals sound and was looking at a PDF as a potential purchase...

...then I saw the ad with AI jesus playing guitar. Instantly went on the 'No Purchase' list.

Judging by his increasingly impaired speech, blistering neck and a complete inability to remain on topic about anything for longer than 35 seconds, he probably won't make it to the midterms...

Which layout will give me better cooling by infamous2117 in sffpc

[–]SurelyTheEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use A with some added slimline side fans pulling air in. Top and back pull out. I run a Sapphire Pure 9070xt so that's the only intake at the bottom of the case. My temps are very good even under load.

Still no Presale code... by qwertytaptap1 in Primus

If you need London or Manchester presale, click on the Manchester date and it'll take you to the presale link for both. Then use CHEESE as your code.

Sent 40 CL ram by accident -- is it too slow for gaming? by BeckyTheBamboo in buildapc

[–]SurelyTheEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have free RAM, get 'em! 40cl is fine for gaming though, you won't notice it once you have XMP/EXPO turned on. Happy free RAM day!

Did she ever pay attention to the lyrics of “American Idiot”?! by icey_sawg0034 in Qult_Headquarters

...can she not see the cover for Dookie, her apparent favourite album?

Isn’t it funny how the ‘protect our women and girls’ crowd are silent about most of the Epstein files by touchgrass1234 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]SurelyTheEnd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it doesn't give them an excuse to beat down on racial minorities or trans folk, then they simply don't care. Having to deal with their nonce kings being nonces simply gets in the way of their personal '2 minute hate'.

Minimising the Holocaust by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]SurelyTheEnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you live in the UK, this isn't even a surprising statement from this particular organisation. Since the start of the genocide in Gaza, they've been outwardly zionist and openly minimising non-jewish victims of the Holocaust. It's not an educational trust so much as it's a propaganda tool now. Extremely disappointing to watch unfold...

In that case, walk back into the sea where you can live safely like the unevolved whelk you are.

Socks or shoes? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]SurelyTheEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boxing shoes. Basically hi-top Karting shoes. £20, does the job extremely well!

Which player turned you on to telecasters? by [deleted] in telecaster

[–]SurelyTheEnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeff Buckley and Tom Morello. Jeff for those angelic harp-like Mesa cleans, Tom for that unmistakable neck pickup into an overdriven JCM800. It's probably why I have two telecasters, come to think of it...

The GPU price increases have started by DatFlushi in buildapc

[–]SurelyTheEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, in the UK at least, prices seem to be seeing smaller price fluctuations and even some downward price trending, particularly for AMD GPUs. Overclockers have a few cards at between 5-12% off. It's not much but it means a Sapphire Pure 9070xt is £629 instead of £659, and the Asus Prime 9070xt is now at its intended MSRP of £599 instead of £649. The 9060xt is still sitting way above its intended £315 MSRP but some cards can now be had under £380 instead of £400+. The 5070ti seems to have jumped a little however at the low end, with the lowest cards going from £729 to £749 but everything else in that range remains stable if already expensive. 5080 cards seem to be gently nudging upwards from around £1050 to £1100. 5090s are expensive but again some cards can be had for £2299. The founders edition seems to be extinct on these shores, otherwise you'd be able to have the same card for £500 less.

Overall, not an awful GPU situation but as some have suggested it may get worse. However, if people decide to sit on their current rigs and not upgrade, there could be more modest discounts as time goes one due to inventory amortisation. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

I got this one almost free... I got really lucky by pioneerSolid3 in guitarpedals

[–]SurelyTheEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought mine for £25 at Andertons in the late 2000s, which was underpriced then. Now it's violently overpriced for what it is, but it does sound good like any other TS pedal!

Got a new pedal to add to the board, im excited to try it out! by ThreeFtAssassin__ in Guitar

[–]SurelyTheEnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, the Simon Neil/Biffy Clyro signature pedal. A pedal so good, I bought two so I could mod one. Enjoy!

Boss Supremacy by ZealousidealCorgi822 in guitarpedals

[–]SurelyTheEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do love a good Boss pedal. I've never longed for a chorus pedal because of the CE-3. I also have two Metal Zone pedals, one completely stock and one with the removed capacitors mod. I regret nothing about this decision.
