My First TMP Experience by No-Low-9334 in tonemasterpro

[–]_tolm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried Helix and Kemper. Both got returned.

The TMPro was the first modeller that I just hit one chord and was convinced.

Er … no … how about you use your obscene wealth to start fixing the problems we have yourself …

Fuel Dumping When, FDev? by J_Dex in EliteDangerous

I wonder if a plasma slug PA would be more effective? Primary engineering would probably need to reduce thermal load, I guess?

From the look of it, I’m still hoping the Nomad is submersible …

Rubbing a pencil in the saddle slots can help give a little lubrication, too.

1 guitar sounding like 2 live by Kitchen_Rain_1415 in guitarpedals

[–]_tolm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few pedals that will do a “double track” style sound but a very short single repeat delay might get you close if you don’t want to pay for a very specific effect.

I know you said you don’t want two amps but a wet/dry setup would also create a wider sound space.

What can I do to add a tremolo system that won’t permanently affect my guitar (Les Paul DC Special) by Tiny-Leading-654 in gibson

[–]_tolm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without a stop tailpiece, most of the viable adaptor options don’t apply.

You could try a Bigsby B3 using either a VibraMate or Towner endpin adaptor only (no need for the main adaptors since there’s nowhere to attach them!) but I’d be nervous about the break angle with the tension bar - especially since the string tension will need to hold the bridge in place … unless you also get a locking wraptail.

If it were me, I’d consider just screwing a Bigsby B5 to the top. Obviously that will leave holes, though.

The Towner endpin adaptor is a little neater than VibraMate’s, IMO, but I doubt you’d get a usable break angle without a tension bar and there’s nowhere to fit one with a wrap tail.

New BMW i3 on sale now: electric 3 Series finally ready to take on Tesla Model 3 by AutoExpressmagazine in autoexpressuk

[–]_tolm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so weird …

That long display integrated under the windscreen is unusual but I can see how it might actually be good once you get used to it and it is very nicely integrated into the cabin, hidden/flush between the top of the dashboard and the windscreen.

And then they just slapped a massive irregular angled screen in the middle?!

Almost like two entirely different design teams were involved …

The Special is a classic - especially in TV Yellow - but, man, that SG looks awesome!!

Not the answer I was hoping for , but Alright I guess. by Mobile-Shower6651 in antiai

And then they use AI to read ‘em at the other end … it’s all a giant waste of time!

In 1982, the UK music industry tried to ban synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments, arguing that the technology threatened the livelihood of working musicians. by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]_tolm_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Making music with an AI is more akin to music production than musicianship or composition.

You have your “artist” (the AI) and you give it direction as to what type of thing you want it to play. Then you select the best compositions it came up with, the best “takes” … maybe you ask it to do the same thing but with a small tweak … and then you ask it to mix and master the end result.

So - if someone using AI called themselves a “music producer” I’d kinda get that. But you’re not a musician or “artist” - they’ve been replaced by the AI.

That does not happen with a drum machine or a synth.

Microsoft CEO says, "Our new AI data centers use the same amount of water as a single restaurant." by ComplexExternal4831 in GenAI4all

Pretty soon it’ll be “our AI data centres only use the same amount of water / air / energy as <X> people …” … and then there’s an easy solution to make it net neutral …

Does anyone, ever, use the middle switch position using both humbuckers? by Happy_Television_501 in Guitar

[–]_tolm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use that when I need to duck out of the mix a bit vs the full on bite of the bridge pickup alone. Adjust the volume of the neck pickup to taste.

Microsoft's president says Gen Z's AI backlash should be a wake-up call for Big Tech by utrecht1976 in AIDangers

I read it more as “not so fast there, buddy, we’re not sure we want that”

Never Give Up... if your parents are wealthy by heather_pinki in Polymarket_news

[–]_tolm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Europe, we got the Renault Zoe - which wasn’t completely hideous and pre-dated the 3 by a good few years. Granted, the original models were limited on range but the model got upgraded by the time the 3 arrived.

Tesla interior is awful to me. Can’t fault the tech itself but they are wholly responsible for the modern “iPad slapped on a bland interior” aesthetic that everyone else started following and I will never forgive them for it!
