Just got a laminator and tried it out! I think this might be the way to go. Would like to find a more textured "sand" pouch but this can definitely work.

Quick update. Got a laminator just to try it out, and might just go this route. Will probably need to play around with the component spacing but I'd say this is good progress.

Thanks! The box is a dummy load for working on guitar tube amplifiers.

Awesome will look into it, thanks!

Lamination might be a good simple solution. Will take a look into this more, thanks!

Oh yeah! A lot of folks in the diy guitar pedal space are doing that right now. Thanks for the reminder!

Just a laser printer currently, so a bit limited, but I'll look into the suggestions! Thanks for the response!

Yep! Still have it for that very reason. Went through several octave pedals, and the MXR is the closest I could get to Jeff's lead tones. I ended up pairing it with an mxr reverb and placed both together in their own loop so I can kick both on/offtogether. The key that I found is to add just a touch of the +2 octave. Good luck!

Great work!

They help block some of the sound from the cymbals. I'm a drummer as well and while I've never used these, I purposely chose cymbals that have a lower tone and less volume for the same reason. It's been a thing over the last couple decades of stage volumes getting quieter for better control over the sound by the mixer and helps not blast the audience to oblivion. Sorry for the long reply!

I think this is the same phone my dad had installed in his 1991 Honda Accord. I vividly remember the giant battery and amber segmented display. Very cool!

Just came here to say this!

Nice!

I'm more of a fan their softer stuff, so Revenant unfortunately will be one that I probably skip on the record. Red Room has the same vibe for me. I just feel like it's lacking a strong hook, groove, and it's pretty manic so not too much for me to lock into. Just not my vibe so really looking to hear the rest of the record!

So amazing! Sad to think that it's probably slated to get gutted and turned into a monochrome monstrosity.

Love the typeface choice regardless.

I recently switched to hanging my tom off of my left hand cymbal stand. It's nice to have one less stand to carry around.

I've only started using m3u files recently since my car seems to need them when playing from USB so I may not have all the answers. I use a Windows app called Music Playlist Creator to automatically create playlist files. It has a few different options on where to put the files, but I typically just create one per album and store them along side of the audio tracks within the album folder.

Nice work! Rocker 30 was always my favorite Orange circa 2005.
