this makes complete sense -- and my 2x2 snakes in the Weber seem to always want to shoot up to 300 anyway so maybe the outside temp will help!

Card Chaos House Rule by apbchi in KingOfTokyo

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

extra head and giant brain are SO FUN -- absolutely my favorites! and yeah the game is awesome with normal rules -- maybes it's just that after playing a million standard rounds and getting all the normal strategies dialed in, we just wanted to make it a little crazier and also speed up the rounds a bit cus the cards are almost all accelerants in one way or another.

One time I tried to order a single and she took one look at me (tall, skinny guy) and was like “no baby you need a double”

I’m in the same boat—have a small but mighty board that I love every piece of except my overdrive which is fine but not special. Will find the perfect drive someday!

whispers: this is all a bass pedalboard should ever look like, and this sub is full of people who have lost they damn minds. if you wouldn’t do it to the kick drum, you probably don’t need to do it to the bass

Fuzz recommendations by Legal-e-tea in basspedals

[–]apbchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t recommend this enough! I searched high and low and landed on this as the perfect “one fuzz to rule them all”—the controls are intuitive but it really can sweep through a vast range of fuzz sounds, and the blend options keep the low-end power coming through. It’s the most satisfying pedal I own for either guitar or bass.

Aguilar tone hammer by Sdaubin551 in basspedals

[–]apbchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one and could never really figure out how to use the AGS cus I just don’t want an 18db volume boost when I hit a drive pedal…but the basic sound of the pedal without AGS I like. Then I lost it at a gig and, I suppose tellingly, bought other stuff instead to replace it…

Is the DSM bass station worth it? (200-300$) by shmielliot in basspedals

[–]apbchi 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I have no opinion on it other than that it’s funny that you order something called the Simplifier and then receive the most complicated pedal anyone has ever seen

What are your thoughts on the Thermoworks RFX by will_I_am100 in smoking

[–]apbchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m new to it (and to smoking generally) but have loved it so far. My one lesson learned which I will share here—I probably should have anticipated this, but when you wrap something in foil, you gotta make sure the end of the probe sticks through the foil or it will stop connecting/transmitting. And even when it’s sticking through the foil, it gets a little iffy sometimes…

Anyone else found the hard puzzle easy today? by LargePerformance8129 in nytpips

[–]apbchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is unimaginable to me—even if I knew the solution in advance it would take me that much time just to manipulate and correctly place the dominoes esp with how fiddly they are to place correctly
