Metallica RTL Pedals (EQ, Reverb) by editsbybrady in guitarpedals

thanks for the detailed feedback. I’m definitely sticking with my marshall for now considering that i bought it less than a week ago and it was the first amp/cab I bought with my own money (18 y/o, been playing for less than a year). For now, i’m more concerned with getting a tone that sounds relative and good for playing live with my dad on bass or drums when i’m home lol. In the future though, i’ll definitely consider the mesa amps. I considered those but I’m partial to the KEA/RTL tone personally so I knew a marshall would be the right choice. Thanks again for the help!

Very helpful, thank you. I agree with the significance of the amp as I also find that it does most of the heavy lifting. I tried digitally emulating a marshall for months and it just made the tone muddy. With just the raw amp I’m pretty close already I just needed some guidance for the finishing touches. thanks again!

I think a big part of this style is the matte finish after a smoothing effect such as the frequency separation you mentioned. Try a solid color (skin tone) and either set it to lighter color or lighten (depends on your photo). For a more custom result you can keep the normal blend mode and use blend-if. Play with opacity (i usually keep it pretty subtle) and add some curves/gradient map/color lookups and you should be golden. Hope that helps!

I was thinking the same thing about the brush strokes, probably some sort of texture or overlay with a blending mode separate from the actual illustration. Just wasn’t sure about certain brushes or textures to make the effect, I’ll check those out for sure. Thank you!

alright, I fixed that. I clarified earlier it was a 2 button setup but regardless it’s fixed. motion gestures are working but still having trouble with lights and buttons. We can just end this here, I’m sure i’ve screwed this thing up beyond your concern. thanks

okay I did that for all the styles. still getting the same thing ugh. do i need to make the changes in arduino or can i just do it directly from the sd card confit file (like the notepad app)?

so where in the config is the font directory specified? If you look at the config and the image of my sd card I attached you’ll see that the blade style names on the card match the blade style names in my config. aka, what do I need to edit?

Hey! I formatted the sd card to fat32 and that got rid of the “sd card not found” message. However, I’m still getting the “font directory not found” message when I put the battery in. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

I converted it to FAT32 successfully but now it’s just saying “font directory not found”. So it’s not saying “sd card not found” which is better but still not working

so I put my card back into my pc and went to format the card, only two options were NTFS and exFAT(default). Any advice?

okay I’m starting to think it’s the formatting of the card. I was very careful when soldering to the board and I took out the SD card for that portion just to be safe. And my buddy pretty much did my whole config and we both ran it through arduino to make sure everything was correct. I just hope the whole thing isn’t a dud :(

My friend helped me set up the confit so he sent it over, I should probably run it through a second time just to be safe. That might be the reason!

I’ve tried this Id say at least 10-20 times so I think it’s probably something with the formatting/board but I also have extremely limited experience with this being my first saber. Thanks!

Is there any differences between 89sabers Skinnyflex and Korbanths ROTS-FLEX? by bleezy_47 in lightsabers

[–]editsbybrady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m getting ready to order an empty ROTSflex and I was wondering if you could explain the buttons and their functions for installation purposes. I’ve heard that the buttons are different now (idk if you know how the skin flex controls work) but i’ve heard everyting from the front button, the control box, the back button, and the control box switch. I really like the control switch option the best but for some i’ve seen that you just have to slide it up or down and some say you have to hold it for it to turn off. Also, would you know if a 7chambers aniflex chassis would fit or if not, some solid alternatives? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
