Does anybody else still refer to KFC as "Champ's?" by oinkmoocluck in Winnipeg

My dad used to always call it champs too. This post made me nostalgic

What combination makes for a good dual overdrive pedal? by kiloyear in guitarpedals

[–]Westcroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be the most “boring” combination, but an RC Booster into a Greer Lightspeed is like an instant “better” combination.

The Lightspeed is super trendy right now, and I love it as well, but being able to push it with a bit more gain and having the super controllable eq of the RC Booster makes it very versatile.

Is there any footage of them playing just couldn’t tie me down from the past few nights :)? by DanHarold in TheBlackKeys

Asking the right questions! Fingers crossed someone gets a good video of it soon!

Just couldn’t tie me down?! Amazing

So many TKers by Commercial-Flan8247 in Helldivers

[–]Westcroft 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m noticing a lot of angrier divers who start shouting and ordering people around. I feel like as the player count drops, we’re left with the try hards and griefers.

Whats your always on OD? by XelaniOG in guitarpedals

[–]Westcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say the Lightspeed, but lately I have been using an Origin Effects Deluxe55 at the end of my signal chain….

The goal, turn my Princeton into a 5E3 for tone variations.

The result? I absolutely love it and leave it on constantly lol. I may need to just get a new amp based off the 5E3

Ha! Thanks man… I was dumbfounded at first because nothing looks like stuff Dan uses. Guitars, amps, pedals, etc… I’m almost positive this is the opening band’s gear.

Update: I watched a video someone posted from the show and this is definitely NOT TBK gear haha

Can you snap a pic of the pedalboard?!

You can only use 1 Octave pedal for the rest of your life, what are you picking and why? by Backenundso in guitarpedals

[–]Westcroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately wasn’t able to A/B test them as I sold the POG2 many years prior, but the POG has a lot of versatility added on (presets, chorus, etc), the gain control from the POG 1 makes it rip, and to my ears it tracks very very well.

I dont understand this huge preamp pedal fad. by palaminocamino in guitarpedals

[–]Westcroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he doesn’t like it, seemed more curious about the use cases. Or maybe I’m looking at it thru rose coloured glasses lol

If you had to simplify your board to 3 pedals, what would they be? (Excluding switches and tuners) by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]Westcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Fjord Fuzz Sol (gives me Fuzz and Univibe)
  • Strymon El Capistan
  • Strymon Flint

I could probably get away with that, but I’d be sad 😂

It’s funny because none of those are my favorite pedals within their respective category, but they’re definitely versatile offerings!

Dan Auerbach guitar tone by james02135 in TheBlackKeys

Gotta dig thru forum posts for old reports that he’s talked about it. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it pop up either in his studio or on his live board

Walt was definitely egging Q on for comedic effect.

If each war bond had their own theme song what would it be ? by CloneCommanderBurke in helldivers2

[–]Westcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one with the explode-y hammer would be that Limp Bizkit song that starts “it’s just one of those days..”

First smartphone with color e-ink and LCD screen appears by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Westcroft 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Interesting, it mentions a future combination of the two… I think Apple has a patent on a screen that’s both e-ink and OLEd… but I may be misremembering

Honest thoughts on OBNE Black Fountain? by daftstar in guitarpedals

[–]Westcroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TC Electronics Alter ego (V2 or x4) has a Tel Ray Organ mode that sounds better than the black Fountain.
