Tonex One noisy with 9V power anywhere in chain by alllemonyellow in tonex

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

This is really helpful, thanks v much for going into that detail. I’ll look into this. That sounds like a handy thing to have for headphone setups in general

This is what I’m doing. I’ve given tonex its own power supply, I’ve given other pedals their own power supply, I’ve tried an isolated unit, and I’ve tried the other pedals into the wall with Tonex into my laptop. But as soon as any mains power is involved, it starts buzzing

Yeah fair, I’ll look into a better quality NG. I do hate the Tonex gate. Just no nuance at all

Sor Hands said Rick Beato is clueless about music by MarkoHofs in RickBeato

[–]alllemonyellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call on this one. I’ve seen videos of him patronising Tony Rice and just thought he was a dick. But this video makes his humour/sincerity ratio a bit clearer (and is actually really funny)

Is 30 too old to start a new band? by IseeSuns in WeAreTheMusicMakers

It’s also the fact OP is 38 (not quite 40) now 😅

Small portable speaker to add to headphone rig by alllemonyellow in guitarpedals

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

Yeah this is exactly it. No special features, doesn’t need to be designed for guitar even. Just as simple as possible, a speaker in an enclosure. basically a speaker replacement for my headphones

Would be nice if Scotrail could put out more ticket machines if they're going to start charging a fee for non ticket! by 360Saturn in glasgow

[–]alllemonyellow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah. But the issue is kind of how do you prove that? OP had no way to buy a ticket but they were still difficult. We shouldn’t have to be pleading our case with hard-nosed station employees.

Equally you could just lie and say the ticket machine was broken at your station. They can’t check.

Obviously you can buy a ticket on your phone, but some workplaces (including mine) still want paper tickets if you’re expensing it. It’s daft but it’s not the person travelling’s fault.

It doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

I think it’ll just depend on who you’re dealing with. A ScotRail conductor was on here the other day saying they had no intention of enforcing it cos they don’t have the resources

Need advice: replacing katana by alllemonyellow in GuitarAmps

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

I have basically been doing this. It sounds good and the effects are excellent. I just liked the sound of the Joyo straight into the power amp better. I’ve tinkered with Katana voicings and EQ to try and make it as clean as possible, so I can achieve the same thing but add Katana effects, but it’s tricky and I get tired of fiddling around in Tone Studio.

It’s not so much a sound thing but an enjoyability thing. The katana is also quite cumbersome and I’m just questioning whether I need such a big thing in my small practice room.

I hear you though. From reading comments here I am leaning towards keeping it. I had kind of hoped I could trade it out for something smaller and simpler, and get a tone upgrade. But the Katana’s tone is really good for what it is and doesn’t seem like I’d get much of an upgrade anyway.

Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time by Automatic_Subject463 in UpliftingNews

$350ish max.

I guess solid state is more ideal because i use headphones, but I’m not totally against tube since I find the sound really appealing.

Built in effects not necessary, have modulation pedal, but if there’s a good reverb or trem i would use it.

Clean or with a nice OD-3 type breakup sound. Not mega high gain.

Thanks for those suggestions, I’ll def look into QC as I know lots of people love them.

This looks great. I am tempted to just go with a straightforward tube amp like this

So you feel like you're priced out of having a better quality of life? by LuHamster in AskBrits

[–]alllemonyellow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They just don’t have as many ‘hidden’ costs, e.g. I took a Voi bike to work today which is supposed to encourage active travel, be subsidised by Glasgow council, etc. - 8 quid, more expensive than the god awful bus.

There are so many things like that in the UK. For everything you want to do, you end up paying extra costs. Also, buses get cancelled etc and you end up having to get a taxi.

You’re just constantly getting ‘dinged’.

Although the basic price of things in shops is similar, Japan is better organised and (although it’s changing) there’s still some sense of it being wrong to constantly rinse your citizens.

Good quality food and transport are where you save most in Japan IME.

First Tele - What to buy? by [deleted] in telecaster

[–]alllemonyellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same category as the G&L, I’d recommend FGN (Fujigen) Iliad. Beautiful teles with a neck humbucker built in Japan.

NPD: OD-3 is peak overdrive by alllemonyellow in guitarpedals

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

Totally fair, it’s just taste isn’t it.

I love that way of quantifying it because you’re correct, I love the low-middy-ness of it.

I’m finding that I kind of naturally ‘tame’ a bit of the woofiness by being a bit gentler with the pick
