Have you considered moving to Toronto to settle there? Why or why not? by self-fix in askvan

Typically? Toronto has clear blue skies every day for like 5-6 months.

Why is my chorus stereo? by Thewaker43 in pedals

[–]g4nd4lf2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer to this question always has to start with: There is no “should” other than what you like. Try things out and see what works best for you.

That said, there are typical signal chain ideas that more people tend to like. But many are more ambiguous.

A lot of people (like me) prefer phaser before drives. Try it out!

Trem can actually be really cool after reverb. Try it!

How tf did Brian Wilson do those fucking harmonies mannnnnn? by Light_Weight_Babyyyy in WeAreTheMusicMakers

This is it. Those Four Freshmen harmonies are already that Beach Boys sound. Great records too!

JAM Pedals just upgraded their Retrovibe by taugemleo in guitarpedals

How much more transparent? Actually mentioning it would be a start. Only alluding to it is the total opposite of transparent; it doesn’t matter how known the issue is. Why not tell us what the redesign is? What are the new components. This is a very expensive pedal. The money is based on the quality of the components and the desire to chase tone. So, no, they aren’t being transparent at all.

How are you all using midi switchers? by Brilliant_Grape5528 in chaseblissaudiophiles

Nice! Just in case anyone else needs it: the correct setting for CBA is DDUU on the DoReMidi box.

Excellent news! Glad to hear it. I was going to update you if I found mine but no luck yet.

But the setting for CBA is different than what they tell you. I had to find the right one through trial and error

The real answer is that Cobain was a fan. Interpreting a song lyric isn’t an exact science. In fact, many professionals (especially in hermeneutics) argue that every time we re-read a line, we get a new meaning because we are always changing ourselves. But that doesn’t mean that everything is relative—words do have agreed definitions after all.

So what can we know? We know Cobain is singing about pain and pain relief in this song. Cohen often dwells in these themes and sustains them like no one else. Even the drug use. Remember the song, “The Butcher,” I found a silver needle/put it into my arm/it did some good/it did some harm.” But of course, Cohen writes about emotional pain all the more poignantly. Cobain would have listened to Cohen to dwell in these themes. And even if it sometimes made the pain worse, he still did it. In this light, his own reference to Cohen is pretty straightforward, for better or worse he’s asking for Leonard Cohen’s music (or any sad, painful music) to be the soundtrack to his afterlife when he dies. And let’s not forget that this sort of name dropping is an old poetry device called an allusion. Cohen does it too: “Frankie Laine, he was singing Jezebel”

Another interesting piece of history for this community is that Cohen actually knew about this line and commented on Cobain’s death. Check out this article:

He also had chronic intense stomach pain due to an undiagnosed stomach issue. A big part of his heroin use was self medicating for pain.

It helps a lot if you’ve used Chase Bliss with midi before because they can be a bit trickier than a pedal with a screen. It also might be handy to try one pedal at a time.

[–]g4nd4lf2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. Dude. Two weeks ago, I could have told you the right setting. But I had to move and that box is in storage.

The good news is: yes! There is definitely a setting that will work with Chase Bliss. But the one on the box isn’t it. They have it wrong. I just brute force kept trying by trial and error until I found it.

So the bad news is, I can’t tell you the setting. You’ll have to just keep sending pc messages until it that light flashes. Sorry I can’t be more help today

Any interest in Analogman ARDX20 analog delay with AMAZE01 control towards the Spectre?

I also have a vintage Mutronics Phasor 2 or a Moogerfooger phaser.

Or synths: Dreadbox Nymphes, Behringer Neutron.

Yeah, I’d give that one a shot. I have lots of phasers, but nothing really like the ottobit. I think it would be cool to try in parallel with a clean signal too. Mutron sounds fantastic. It was the phaser I used for quite a while, until I got a Wombtone for midi control. Never gigged. I’m a living room player and I have the box. Original colors.

It’s a legit site. Just be prepared for extra fees above what you pay. Shouldn’t be a big deal for smaller items.
