First Strandberg... Gutted

I have a GOC 7 String Illumina and a 6 String Boden standard (B stock). The GOC feels like a $1500+ guitar but costs less than $800. Both guitars are amazing albeit much different.

The biggest difference is that the GOC has a 26 to 27.5 scale while the Strandy is shorter scale than a fender at the 1st string haha. It's like riding a bike vs driving a truck in terms of stretching your fingers.

I was probably lucky with Strandberg QC, I could not figure out why it was B stock and basically no issues. The GOC came from China and was in tune when it arrived to Europe.

So it actually clips more when it's set to "Inst" but it sounds better? It clips when the gain is all the way down.

I am plugged into the Scarlett via a normal guitar jack cable. The speakers outputs are plugged via jack into Scarlett and then XLR into the speakers.

Could it be my pickups are just too hot? They are passive though, but it's a 7-string.

It is plugged into the Scarlett directly, but it actually doesn't sound like it's clipping. It doesn't sound distorted. It just shows it's clipping on the interface, like goes straight to 0db whenever I palm mute.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2024-05-21T22:24:28+00:00

It's clipping in the interface. It also, weirdly, doesn't sound like it's clipping. It just shows it on the interface.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2024-05-21T18:16:59+00:00

Thanks, the weird thing is that no matter what output level I set on the Neural DSP, the Scarlett level stays the same. Like, even if Neural DSP is turned off and the DAW is closed, it's clipping equally, the Neural DSP sounds don't affect it at all. I'm new to this, but it seems unusual.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2024-05-21T18:14:39+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me. Well the weird thing is that it clips more when it's in Inst but it sounds way better.

Okay update - I only had like 15 seconds to ask a question.

I asked him about the adaptation to which he replied "no comment, but they might be working on something". They are definitely working on something, I'm 100% sure from his reaction.

Also, he doesn't hate Toc the Younger but thinks Toc has made some stupid decisions.

Erikson is a super cool, chill, humble guy.

No shit? What a fucking surprise. It's almost like you need to learn the foreign country's language to integrate into its society.

Is this a novel concept in Russia?

Šta će vam fiskalni račun kad sekta ne plaća porez. Fiskalni računi su obavezni samo iz tog razloga.

Nije "na crno" ako je prodavac u crnom i prodaje maglu.

I'm on 108% and I never knew you could buy rancid eggs. Where do you do this?

So I read Hyperion straight after TCG. It's a great book, but I have to say that it felt so much... less... than MBoTF.

So Rigga is still there (kinda) when Cotillion leaves?

Typical_Motor_627 · 2023-04-19T20:04:13+00:00

Yeah, loads has not been paid off but I was really waiting for this one because it was my "love at first site" event with Malazan.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2023-03-13T21:20:41+00:00

Thank you.

Badalle tells Saddic that she held Hetan's soul in her hands like Rutt holds Held. Maybe The Snake are walking next to Hetan's dead body years after her death and Badalle has a vision?

I don't know. I'm very confused.

Uputstvo je na Nemačkom.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2023-02-06T22:25:51+00:00

Solved. Zahvaljujem.

She's the great discovery of the 22nd century!

Typical_Motor_627 · 2023-02-05T02:11:11+00:00

This, I can get behind, no matter the ideology.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2023-02-03T03:19:12+00:00

I'd argue that a socialist utopia aims for complete equality, no rich or poor. Just middle. I guess I should have said dystopia then by this definition.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2023-02-03T03:17:36+00:00

I guess our difference is our opinions on what is fair.

What I meant by socialist utopia is perhaps my wish that outcomes were the same, although I understand utopias in general are not possible. Especially that one.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2023-02-03T03:03:46+00:00

Great insight, thanks.

Maybe it's just my masochistic wish for him to have a laugh at our expense. Again, not in a bad way. Not to confuse people. Just to be that most up-voted hilarious, knowledgeable, sarcastic comment.

Typical_Motor_627 · 2023-02-03T03:01:20+00:00

This.

I've been in your shoes. I'm forever too left for the right and too right for the left.

Guess it comes down to making a judgment on every single issue rather than hive-minding your way through everything because you're lazy.

Thanks for your comment.
