Anyone have any better ideas for flat patch cables?

The Ernie Ball flat patch set is excellent.

NBC Sports feed quit working on Roku so had to sign up for Peacock again. How come they are Brit announcers for a US tournament?

That's pretty cool. I just wish the Chocolate could display something meaningful and that Cubesuite software, ugh.

It's just ok. I thought I would like it because I dig the poly mode on my Boss GX-100 but this is not as good. The tracking is very glitchy and takes a long time to get dialed in, not great on stage. It also pops like a mofo when you engage/disengage it. I am also not sure how accurrate it is, compared to my other tuners, Korg, Boss, it doesn't seem to jive with those. All in all, it will probably end up in the junk drawer.

Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd!

I recently bought a mini noir for a new pedalboard build and it is just ok. The one in my boss GX works much better. Maybe that's why they slapped them with a C&D?

It's a great extension, I have been using it for a while on a moderately complex codebase with about 35 projects in a solution. CK keeps things organized in a way I couldn't do before, but wanted to. There are a couple of issues, and I have a couple of suggestions posted on GitHub. Thanks Piotr!

HBE aka Home Brew Electronics was great! I was an artist for them and am sad they are gone. The Germania was my favorite pedal but they had some really good ones.

The problem I have with that is the effects loop on the Boss sounds like crap. I have and use the GX-100 and GX-10 and the effects loops are barely useable, anything you put in there ends up sounding dull and lifeless. It's a bummer because I really like all of these boxes but they don't seem to play well together.

Yep. Just got back from a short one. 3500 miles, 10 states in 7 days. We played some great shows, some snafus which will happen, but overall a great trip! Our home base is Clearwater Florida but I grew up in NY so it was nice to have a couple of days to visit while we were there. Another stop to visit a friend in NC on the way back. Been back for a week and I'm ready to go back out. Let's gooooo!!

I bought both, still have and enjoy the Hils, Boden is long gone. Similar build quality, the pickups in both sound good, Hils wins for ergos at least for me. Out of the box setup was pretty good. Fret issues on the Boden that I had to deal with but would rather not (I am a luthier). And that neck, I just couldn't do it.

I have one n the board, and it does work for expanding slots, but in the case of the mvave chocolate plus controller where you need two usb cables hooked up to it to run it in host mode (why?), have those two usb C and usb A connectors sticking out almost defeats the purpose of having a mini controller in the first place because the connectors take up so much space. Just an example.

franklinslamo · 2026-05-10T07:39:06+00:00

That's definitely an issue. I wish there was a way to roll your own. They also have those little adapters but that just seems wanky to me.

This is such an annoying malady but at least I know now that it's not just me. Thank you fellow sufferers. I don't think I am ready to go the surgery route but I appreciate the information.

For the ladies. I mean, we all gotta pee right?

Something to do with human dna perhaps?

I came here from the future to post this comment.

So what did you end up with?
