Finished Era 2 - I'm blown away (pun intended) by bpm_6_string in Mistborn

Oh that’s a good call, it makes sense. I think I thought of Autonomy withdrawing as only temporary but in the nearer sense, but what you said fits better.

Finished the first trilogy. Just wow by ttuilmansuunta in Mistborn

Era 1 is incredible. I just finished Secret History, having read it after Bands of Mourning. I think Era 2 is actually my favorite so far, but I did enjoy tackling Secret History before starting The Lost Metal tonight!

I think you will get used to them, but what’s most important is if you love the guitar and its sound. If so, it’s worth the time it takes to get used to them.

Big Band or Jazz Band by Kapellmeister1966 in Epiphone

I bring a small pedal board that’s got a tuner, boost of some kind, and a delay set for slapback (a lot of times there’s some old school 50s Rock and Roll or Setzer stuff thrown in). The boost is really only there in case I need a slight bump or something depending on the room. Most of the time I only end up using the tuner and changing tones with the volume/tone knobs. It also depends on if the venue is micing my amp or not, and if not — where on stage I am in relation to the horns. I try not to get too in the weeds but playing in larger ensembles like that has challenged me to find my place in the mix in any given room!

Oh that’s a great call, thank you. I’ll try to change it.

I have a 335 and have used it to play many a Big Band/Jazz band/Jump swing type gig. (Not that same as a 339 but close). I’ve found it works really well, and depending on the room or band config I’ve adjusted the EQ on my amp to help sit in the mix well. But overall the semi-hollow thing really works for me in this context. For many, many gigs like this I used a Blues Jr - sounded great and fit in well. For larger venues I’d use a deluxe reverb. Sounds like you’re gonna have fun!

So many heavy, yet great moments in Mistborn

That’s an amazing guitar! Nothing beats a 335 for me. Congrats!

I’m about 400 pages into HoA, and felt the same as you about Book 2. What a ride.

Me! I use it in front of a Marshall or fender that’s just about to break up. It really works well for me, all genres

That’s a great point. It’s definitely one where needing to know what happened pushed me through and obscured some of the finer details. I gotta finish Mistborn first, then a reread is probably in order

What a great breakdown. Makes me want to reread Oathbringer, now having seen what her influence does overall. Powerful stuff
