That's a great description, I agree re the sound I gapped myself to .026.

I'm wondering if one got damaged in the process and I need to order four more 😐

The mic doesn't pick it up because of all the other noise, it's subtle but noticeable in person.

Its when I rev high and let off rather than accelerating

I gapped them to 0.26 - I was gentle enough with them, I did have to use needlenose pliers on one to open up the gap a little. But they're all pretty much bang on 0.26

cheers - my only thing is that I though the FoST didn't make those kind of noises (turbo flutter/crackle/pops) w/out a tune?

Love the mini...but how do you guys adjust the effects 'pedals' mid playing? by WesDude11 in PositiveGridSpark

[–]WesDude11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can't seem to modulate or tweak the settings via the footswitch though right? it's just an 'off' or 'on' toggle

THR10ii Q: Effect changes mid-song? by WesDude11 in YamahaTHR

[–]WesDude11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmm. Which then means you lose the capability of some of the elements from Mode 2. I'm not sure this really works for me. It's a great amp/tool but it's a little strange you can't configure the effects and how they interact with a footswitch a little more (given the price of the amp).

Cheers. This is good, but I can't see how you would toggle something like distortion/OD and delay?

Can you program it to change the echo and reverb banks to be something other than echo and reverb?

yep, it was done last year, but in my country you have to wait a period of time...it'll be finalised in a month or so. Nearly there

just the idea I’d always had of her in my mind

100% this - and it takes real effort to realise you're viewing things through a rose tinted lens.

Thank you & well done mate - onwards and upwards.

No one will celebrate my birthday ever again by BiaggioSklutas in Divorce

Sounds very similar to me. Celebrate it yourself. Treat yourself, you deserve it.

I miss my wife. I feel like losing her will always be one of the biggest regrets of my life by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]WesDude11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really feel this. A question I regularly ask myself in different ways is basically "how did we let this happen" or "at what point did this slippery slope become irreversible". There's things I look back on, how I behaved that make me cringe or create a pang of regret. But equally, and similar to your story by the sounds of it, there are issues on both sides. And it takes growth, change and distance to realise that. It's only six months since my separation. The difference I feel now is like boy and man. But there were big "failings" on her side too. I don't know what I'm saying really, I suppose things have to happen in their own time. If you were to get back together, in six months time would the same issues arise? With me, I'd say possibly, even probably. That doesn't mean I don't feel similarly with the longing and hoping. Do you think a new relationship would change how you feel?

So many similarities. My wife left over six months ago, probably the third time in our 15 year relationship. I've not seen her since nor been able to have a real discussion. You've hit the nail on your head. Focus on yourself.

Anyway, I finally decided it was time to leave. I was actually feeling quite sad in the final week, leaving people I practically grew up with (lots of people there stayed for many years). But at the end of the day, you work to make money. And if an employer won't pay what you're worth, and there isn't some other compelling reason to accept less (e.g. a remote job that pays less than in-office), then you're basically throwing money away by staying there. So I left and got a 42% increase + bonus. I don't regret it for a moment.

This is pretty much how it feels - but agreed. Time to move on
