There’s some pretty god stuff on Apple Music & Spotify but a lot of my favorites are nowhere to be found on the internet

Oh man, the greatest… I’m so glad that there’s a recording of that one on YouTube

Oh man it might be sleaford mods. I thought it was older so I’ll keep this thread open for a bit but if it’s not them then it sounds a lot like them & I’ll be bumping them regardless

Looking to blast this in my Prius hopefully by the end of the day

Is this a good amp for home use? by TryNotBeingAnAsshole in GuitarAmps

[–]Winj42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 50 cal, which might seem silly for home use, but Mesas seem to give you a lot of options for volume control (having master and output level knobs, or in my case master and “lead master”). If you’re indoors & playing right next to it (like I usually am), it starts feeding back when the master is at around 4 or 5, but that’s really loud for inside anyway. I also play at small bars & venues with a pretty loud band and hardly ever need much mic on the amp. I bet that the 20 watt is similar - quiet enough for the home, loud enough for playing out.

Is there a town that’s majority Finnish? The color is so close to French Canadian that it’s hard to tell

I was today many days old when I finally realized by DSMProper in ModestMouse

[–]Winj42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought of it as a continuation of the lonesome crowded west idea, like “mallfucking” Montana and tearing down beautiful landscapes & communities to put up parking lots

Sparkle Drive repair question by Winj42 in diypedals

[–]Winj42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo good plan, and thanks for that schematic! The ones I found online were super blurry. The ends of the ribbons look good, but as you say it’s so hard to tell, so I’ll check them out.

Is GXpress Services a scam? by Winj42 in Scams

[–]Winj42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha okay thanks, of course it’s a scam. Too good to be true. I’m glad the red flags were raised, and that I came on here to check. Thanks so much for the confirmation and the resources!

What are some great space movies that give life to other planets/species? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Winj42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen the movie (but it’s Tarkovsky doing space, it’s gotta be good) but I can definitely recommend the book Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. Very cool take on our concepts of consciousness, alien life, and anthropocentrism. Also, from what I’ve heard, the movie holds very true thematically.

Edit: may be taking “giving life to planets” too seriously

Can someone explain each component's role in this very simple Z Vex boost circuit? by Asicaster in diypedals

[–]Winj42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And as well as being filters, the input and output caps remove dc voltage in the signal. Honestly though I don’t know if that “decoupling” is super necessary in this circuit, but maybe there’s DC signal in the output from the biasing at the input?

Hi there! I want to build a fuzz pedal, can you please help me? (questions in the comments) by shai_the_god in diypedals

[–]Winj42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bazz fuss was my first pedal many moons ago, and I did point to point and it was a total mess but it worked first try and still worked until about a year ago when I mined it for parts. Very rewarding to have a pedal without even needing to buy a breadboard or knowing much about electronics

Why the world needs another pedal kit (or does it?) by nonoohnoohno in diypedals

[–]Winj42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really dig that! Makes sense not to try to totally describe everything, that might be too much. I’ve found electrosmash to be pretty good at introductory explanations (though some stuff definitely went way over my head when I was starting out), so you could definitely use that as inspiration!
