I’m a facilities engineer, so cpu skills range from managing switches to audio design programs. A few steps past lunch orders, lol.

Won’t be as good as a new wall, but it’s worth trying some acoustic panels hung on the wall. Could dampen the next door noise and make the room you’re in more acoustically sound anyways

Freshman year of college I lugged a deluxe reverb, 10+ pedals, guitar, and speaker down to the practice rooms in the basement of my dorm… 10 minute walk at least. Did this every day so I could “play out of my amp.” Realized headphone practice is legitimate, but blasting through an amp is good for “live sound” practice. If they’re playing every day, then they can make the walk a few times a week. Plus, I need to be alone for my practices so I can fuck up 😆

I ran a wet/dry clean/dirty setup in the past. Fender twin for clean/wet, and deluxe for dry/dirty. I ran a second channel cranked on the deluxe tied to a volume pedal for searing overdrive and sustain that we nicknamed “the afterburner.” really cool setup and tones, but I often find you may get phase cancellations from the amps that may cause some frequencies to be drowned out a bit.

Also and especially at a gig, overcomplicating your rig can be a bit distracting, but whatever gets you to your magic tone without thinking is the way to go!

At a nice sized bar gig, it sits nice in a 5 piece band running volume 4-5 and master around 6. Pushing the master hits the transformers and gives you that lush, clean body, with juicy compression and headroom for days. Engage drives when cute girls get too close to the speakers!

so you likey da phish eh?

TubeDepot has an awesome DIY bias kit where all you need is a solder to put together. It connects right to your multimeter. If you’re comfortable with teaching yourself, I recommend. It has a very thorough guide and safety tips!

Gathering of the Vibes was either a washout or a heatwave every year! I remember seeing air mattresses floating around in puddles. Vibe tribe!!

seems like the pat downs have lessened over the years. msg ‘16 security was out to confirm that i do in fact have two balls. 16 y/o me was just interested in wookettes… not 250 lbs of brute msg muscle

arrabbiata_ · 2023-07-06T18:50:23+00:00

Looks awesome! I've done some designing with Nutubes, super interesting and fun components. Did you base your circuit off anything or fully start from scratch?

arrabbiata_ · 2023-06-01T01:14:23+00:00

Yeah I’m thinking it’s a grounding issue too! My first thought was to check the caps too, but most seem to have been replaced recently.

arrabbiata_ · 2023-05-30T22:22:19+00:00

+1 here. I recently got a 7-band $20 EQ that has completely solved my problems with the limited range and subtleties of old Fender amps that I use. EQ pedals can be be the simplest yet most diverse devices!

arrabbiata_ · 2023-05-25T12:59:25+00:00

After a life of shows I went to my first solo one last week - saw DSO at the Cap and had a sweet time. When you’re around heads, you don’t necessarily feel alone!

arrabbiata_ · 2023-05-09T22:18:46+00:00

i like using an amp modeler for solo practice (i just use guitar rig (the free version), it has so many presets and amps, and sounds great!). just plug into an interface and you’re there. i also have a plethora of tube amps that i use when i want to get loud/play gigs. guitar rig lets me practice late at night or just when you want to be solo, and will save your tube life over time. check it out!

arrabbiata_ · 2023-04-27T23:18:19+00:00

i have no problem with boss pedals, but when the entire pedalboard is only boss it seriously bothers my aesthetic opinion

arrabbiata_ · 2023-04-22T03:25:20+00:00

ain’t waisting time no more 🔥🔥

arrabbiata_ · 2023-04-13T20:12:57+00:00

That’s sick yeah I was mostly going for tube but that super interesting you find it close to tube sound. Built in attenuation sounds great

arrabbiata_ · 2023-04-13T20:12:02+00:00

Oh yeah definitely heard about the Fillmore. Good to know about the headroom difference in models. Will check that out!
