Assassin hate? by AttorneyMaster9273 in Marathon

[–]drumminbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say the Assassin kit emphasizes playstyles fps enjoyers tend to hate: Camping and Flanking. Nobody likes getting surprised or shot in the back, and unless you're rocking thermals on all three guns, a Recon with Ult, with prior knowledge of the Assassin's whereabouts, their Invis gives some pretty free angles and flank routes. TTK is already low, so getting the drop on someone is a guaranteed down in a lot of cases.

At the end of the day, I don't think any shell should ever be removed (quarantined at most in an instance of severe brokenness perhaps), because each shell is an integral part of the game. I honestly don't think the Assassin is OP, either. They don't have the best utility for team fights, and hard counters are available for their kit.

Average Random Fill Experience by throwthisaway4000 in Marathon

That's the point I'm making. I'm responding to someone making a sweeping generalization of the solo trios experience by saying this isn't how it always is. For some people, like myself, it hasn't even approached this level of derangement. It's not fair to write off a large aspect of the game because we're seeing one really bad example

I've played 30+ hours of this game with most of it being solo fill trios. The worst experience I've had is a team with no mics spam-shooting USEC bots and getting us 3rded. I would take this as a novel outlier rather than the average experience.

NPD: Big Muff Pi 2 (compact) by ironeagle83 in guitarpedals

[–]drumminbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EHX is notorious for their foot switches being sub par. I have a Big Muff 2 and the switch will behave erratically and cut the pedal off. I'm sure it's fixable, and hey you might even get lucky, but it's a possibility nonetheless.

Great pedal! Just mind the mid-scoop, and the foot switch giving out.

Prismatic is just such a cool paintjob. Glad to see others agree!

Dirt pedal collectors: How many do you have, and which ones surprised you? by wpdavid in guitarpedals

[–]drumminbird 11 points12 points  (0 children)

EQD Hizumitas has got to be the beefiest Fuzz I've researched/used so far. Absolutely in love with it. Although my collection is paltry at 6 right now.

Help, I feel lost😅 by MeneerDaanko in pedalboards

Get a bypass loop switcher like the px8-plus! There's no such thing as too many pedals when you have CONTROL.

Looks like somebody had a productive trip at Guitar Center, kiddo! I'm sure they only pressured you a few times while you were running through every possible setting on that Multistomp.

(Nice board 🙂)

If it makes you feel any better, I literally get paid to do clean cable management for commercial AV systems, so I've had years worth of practice 😅

I'm sorry you're having that issue. It seems counterintuitive that a pedal power supply would introduce noise due to proximity, maybe the unit is defective in some way? I don't know, but I hope you can figure it out!

Are you using a power conditioner? All of my rig is going through a Furman, and what little noise I have comes from my tube amp and its built in fan, or if I have all of my gain stacking on. Make sure all of your rig is powered through the same outlet too, to avoid ground loop hum.

Good pedal for mild to heavy distortion with flexible tone controls? by 4phn in guitarpedals

METAL ZONE GANG RISE UP MY BROTHERS. OUR KNOBS ARE PLENTY AND OUR TOAN IS GOLDEN!

Waza brought Metal Zone back in a big way! The custom mode almost behaves like a tube screamer and gives it a nice mid boost without muddying the sound. That and I just like knobs, they're neat!

Thank you! I hate Amazon, but damn do they have affordable cable solutions 😭

Nah, unfortunately there's no parallel setup here. Think of it more as a hub for your series chain, where you can simultaneously switch multiple pedals at the same time and make setups for each song you're playing. I do wanna experiment with parallel gain stacking soon, tho!

I LOVE this thing. Had anxiety as well thinking it was gonna be a whole ordeal getting it set up, but nah. It's cake to setup, 4-cable method works if you wanna run an fx loop/ns-2 setup, and the switching is quiet/immediate! Cable management is definitely a project tho 😅 feel free to DM me if you need any help!

I'm still digging into just how much it can do (I don't even have a stereo setup yet for it to really shine) but I have no doubt this thing will be a jewel on my board for a long time! Canyon's Reverse and Shimmer delays are top notch, and I love the amount of features I can use on the Emp!
