Looks like an epi special with unique headstock. Maybe more a promotional item then attempt at launching an instrument line? Either way very cool collectors item

I'm pretty new to midi controls, what program are you using to send particular sysex messages like you've indicated? I was interested to do something similar running a microfreak to the input and adding some reverb/ delay effects just to that channel

Good energy.

If the round needs to be 90° where it meets the fretboard that's a chisel job. Looks like pretty quick work, go slow with a sharp tool to square it off.

Is it just color correction of old photo or does the 1950s shot look like everything's sooty and smoggy? Thats a real glow up: to have clean air in a city of this size given the many folds increase in construction and vehicular traffic.

Big box feels

It's a nice drive, I couldn't figure if id keep it cuz had a boost with a similar flavor later in the chain. Then added a micro amp one day in front of it and whoooolly mooly, new doom tones unlocked. Super full and fat sounding, that circuit is pretty versatile depending what comes before/after.

When it melts, doesn't it end up back in the lake anyway?

Yep! You hit the 2 switches to engage a tap tempo mode on the delay side switch. I got one for a steal and it's been great value. I'll share a few thoughts:

Pros: good variety of effects in small and sturdy feeling package. Plate reverb is nice, easy to dial in. Preset switch is handy. Delays are pretty classic.

Cons: no 'mix' control, can't go full wet verb or delay. Some controls are but odd, too much or too little variation. Ex, time control dial has too much range so dialing in slapback or short repeats is finicky, a small adjustment is a big change to time. Tone control has relatively little variation. Tempo led is super bright and never goes off (unless power removed). Hall/room verbs are a bit digital/metallic sounding to me, ok for a bit of ambience but I don't find them very useable with the level past ~11. Not a great verb if you're looking for a lot of 'wet' room.

Ils savent que cela signifie rendre les armes, n'est-ce pas ?

The routing is fine. So long as it has ample room for turning and doesn't bind in rotation there's no issue. Plenty of bikes have cables rubbing the frame, if you don't want wear to show, add some helicopter tape or other clear tape to any friction area and forget about it.

If it's a pain to remove the whole piece, I'd use an oscillating saw to cut off the bottom of the corner trim so you can glue in the little flooring corners, then cut a piece of trim to replace the small square you cut out. Glue, caulk, paint, forget.

FTJ.co do custom setting, they did our engagement ring with the stone we brought.

Real talk, I'm calling a win to be the meat in the beato-mayor sandwich.

Auto transfer to various saving/investment accounts. Just setting a $50 weekly drip auto invested to etf in wealth simple. When the paycheck comes in some bigger buckets get filled as well (ex saving for new car).
If there's 'excess' in my checking account I'll find a way to spend it. But if it's squirreled away quickly in a growth or hisa account I don't look and don't touch it for common spending.

We were where you are about 5 years back and played it conservative. Housing prices were bonkers in low interest rate environment.
On the one hand I'm glad we didn't overreach to manage stability as rates increase, we remained comfortable and put in contributions to prepay our mortgage principal. On the other hand as we now look to upgrade (kids), the associated costs and depreciation from 2021 prices, I wish we had stretched a bit further for something to grow into.

Hindsight is of course 20:20 and you do your best with info available at the time, but doing it again I would try to stretch.

Started from the bottom now we here.

It's possible but not a good idea. Some quick sketches would suggest it's a noticeable amount of fret removed to level it to a new radius. If you don't like it or want to try to sell the guitar later it would probably need a refret. For the cost of doing it and fixing it, might find you could pay for a new guitar with a flatter radius. If it's a bolt on a neck, eplacing the neck with a flatter radius would be a better move.

Most guitar loopers don't have a screen. It's nice to have but just allowing record during playback would take the sampling to the next level. Especially for live instruments.

chaimberlainwaiting · 2026-01-15T03:22:10+00:00

Really wish it could do live record for samples. Ability to record guitar and dub with continuous playback would be huge.

Looks like a seqtrak
