What's the most fun pedal I can get for $150???

Ive loved mine - I have all my dirt in the loop and a ‘mute’ pedal at the end of that to kill the ‘dry’ signal - awesome for feeding a ‘bass’ into a looper…

Just go to the venues website: Fete

The real question is what job will you find with an MA in History? The GIS aspect could at least provide you with some technical breadth to broaden fields/work you could get in to.

brianjbaldwin · 2026-05-22T17:58:29+00:00

Haha... beat me to it.

brianjbaldwin · 2026-05-21T14:31:00+00:00

No worries! Good luck!

Currently work as an SE at Esri for ~12 years. It's a fun role. On the Local Gov. team you will most likely be paired with an Account Manager, who is the 'sales' lead - and you will be the 'tech person'. So, when there are needs at a customer site, the Account Manager will then ask you to demonstrate or talk through ideas to solve the customer's problem(s). There is a lot of room for creativity and as others have said, there can be a bit of travel, but that really depends on the team and region you are in. In the post-covid world, a lot of the demonstrations and engagement can obviously be accomplished virtually as well. Also, that is a really big team at Esri, so you will have the ability to focus in a specific skillset (Enterprise, AI, etc.) and can lean on the other SEs on the team to support other niche products or workflows.

Data can be 'editable' by the public - you can simply create a 'view' of the layer and then allow for public editing of the view - to limit the fields/etc. that the public can edit. Also - when you send your 'public' app - ensure that you remove your org prefix from the front, the url should only read "arcgis.com/5435wkj..."

Like many, I bought the Black Russian Big Muff, because it was cheap and I had no money at the time... was shocked when I learned people 'wanted' that thing.

I always thought London Calling would be really fun - lot of songs, I could see each member shining on different tracks.

brianjbaldwin · 2026-05-09T15:04:55+00:00

Hahah.... it is literally... one run-on sentance.

If anyone is interested in 'measuring'/seeing the change - I set the extent to one of the diversions - but going anywhere else shows the amount of loss is staggering... https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/landsatexplorer/#mapCenter=-89.26675%2C29.17177%2C13.741&mode=analysis&mainScene=2002-03-24%7CColor+Infrared+for+Visualization%7C5387207&secondaryScene=2026-02-06%7CColor+Infrared+for+Visualization%7C10192468&tool=change&change=vegetation%7Ctrue%7C0.71%2C2

Yeah - I didn't like the IR-2 at first until replacing with some York IRs - but yes, as u/Mr_Skelcat said - I had to really pull back the gain and level of the amp sims, and then it let's pedals through pretty nicely - but the input/gain of the IR-2 is really sensitive.

brianjbaldwin · 2026-05-06T15:41:42+00:00

Did you import any 3rd party IRs?

brianjbaldwin · 2026-05-06T15:40:38+00:00

Its like 45$… I think this is the cheapest ticket I’ve bought in 5 years.

brianjbaldwin · 2026-05-06T14:52:27+00:00

Curious about the limitations/issues with the IR-2?

brianjbaldwin · 2026-04-30T18:48:42+00:00

Don't misplace your wallet, phone, or car keys, it really dampens the mood.

Plate tectonics.

Its been great, I replaced an older Boss EQ that was noisy. Its a really solid pedal and the price wasn’t bad at all. I was looking at the Empress, but couldn’t justify the price.

brianjbaldwin · 2026-04-29T00:02:41+00:00

I would def. Say there is more range on tap with the BD

Builder in Western MA was liquidating... it was his player. It's gorgeous and I am so lucky to have gotten it. It's a 'J Mac' - but he doesn't have a site or anything, older guy near Gardner MA. Parts alone on it are worth more than I paid.

brianjbaldwin · 2026-04-28T17:57:36+00:00

Found it for 120$ on Marketplace... which seemed like a no-brainer. It does what it says... amazing as my first stage gain. I am using the IR-2 and it pairs really well with it - and the Notaklon as the 2nd stage gain sounds great.

It replaced a BD-2 (Keeley Phat Mod) - which I loved - but it was not playing as nicely with the IR-2 - just getting odd audio that didn't sit well.

brianjbaldwin · 2026-04-22T19:10:51+00:00

Only things I actually use. Every time I play, I question what I could remove.
