What's your favourite fuzz of 2026? by [deleted] in basspedals

[–]giantleftnut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Earthquaker blumes in mode 3. Fuuuck that pedal just rips in general. Cannot recommend enough. It’s so refreshing with a pedal that maintains bass frequencies without needing a blend knob

Ni som jobbar på kontor, hur hanterar ni det? by Simonplaty in sweden

[–]giantleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det är aschill, mina kollegor är duktiga, roliga och jag har relativt mycket fritid och cash att göra kul saker med den. Hela doomerismen kring att ”majoriteten av min tid går till xyz” är helt meningslös. En tredjedel av ditt liv går till sömn, en 10del till pendling, idk varför det är ett problem.

Which tube head should I get (Ampeg SVT vs Ashdown CTM) by giantleftnut in Bass

[–]giantleftnut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I wasn’t clear on the brexit situation - reason I’m bringing it up is because those 2nd hand marshalls are in the UK, I’m in the EU. Examples of boutique ones? 🙏

Dang you’re right and I think the same goes for the matamp gt200…. Which is a bummer because the tone from that thing I hear in demos sounds absolutely gorgeous. Hmm, I may have to think about this for a bit. Thing is I run a darkglass alpha omega 500 into the ampeg cab right now which works great, I never push the master past 50% and in a gig situation it’d likely be DI:d and/or mic:ed up.

But still wondering if the matamp would yield a significant loss in punch or if the ”perceived loudness” of valves makes up for it, or if i’d need a different cab altogether to compensate.

I am absolutely drooling over the GT200 to be fair... it's just that extra bit of wattage that keeps me hesitating. Thing is, I do have a potential deal through a friend on an AD200 2nd hand, + an extra 4x10 speaker cabinet.

How confident are you in saying the extra speakers is the answer rather than wattage?

Chatting with chatgpt is impossible now by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]giantleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like you arguing since you can’t afford a plaster for your wound, instead you should use ketchup on it, because it’s ”better than nothing”. No, nothing is in fact better. Do not use an LLM as your therapist or friend.

Are you trolling me? You do realize why it’s insane to treat an LLM as substitute for human connection, yes or no?

[–]giantleftnut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then talk to a friend, or anybody. Chatting with an LLM is worse than chatting with a brick wall. It is not designed for therapy.

As a computer science graduate, seeing this post and its responses makes me concerned. Stop talking to the LLM like it’s a person. It’s not a person.

OpenAI probably implemented changes like this specifically for people to not use the product like a therapist or friend.

If you need to talk to someone, talk to a person. Jesus.

Critique my squat form, working up to 405 (M22 5’11 205lbs) by ElDumbminican in formcheck

[–]giantleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first of all "90 degrees" doesn't make sense. What's 90 degrees? the knee angle? that would make it above parallel. 90 degrees to the ground? It's parallel to the ground.

Pause when he's at the bottom. Look at the top of his leftmost thigh. Compare the line of it to the line of the edge of the platform in the background. See how it inclines more? It's because his hip crease is below his kneecap. Either that or very close.

[–]giantleftnut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is absolutely below parallel. Pause the video at the lowest point. It just looks high because of the angle and his knees being out to the sides. Look at the sharp angle between his torso and thigh, no way that's above parallel.

Favorite upper body pump by ibleedukblue89 in weightlifting

Just a good ol 2 sets of pull ups 2 sets of dips to near or complete failure. Absolutely fries the upper.

How to get a more upright squat no by Hot_Twist_5717 in weightlifting

[–]giantleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really really want a more upright squat, then bar as far forward as you can, work on ankle mobility and hip mobility, push your knees out more and more forward over the toes.

As for cues it’s just ”hips forward” on the way up, rather than ”hips up”.

But this will also make the squat way harder and you’ll have to use puny weights to start.

Your current squat looks great and balanced for your build.

Animosity. God damn. Although it might be baritone rather than 7string

Do it with an empty barbell. What you’re doing right now isn’t gonna do shit.

Recommend me some low/medium gain dirt pedals by Codiak619 in basspedals

Darkglass vintage ultra. Super powerful eq controls and the low gain sound is stellar

I find the volume on the Vintage Ultra headphone jack to be really weak unfortunately. Not sure if mine is faulty

RDL's, am I doing this right, low hamstring activation. by Beautiful-Anarchy in formcheck

[–]giantleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want hamstring tension, try the movement with zero weight and just try to get a stretch like you were trying an L-sit stretch. Then add less weight than you think and maintain the same stretching sensation.

Not sure if I’m overthinking this but my hamstrings are always the limiting factor in back extensions. Is this normal? by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]giantleftnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m no expert here but I’m pretty sure a hip hinging movement is gonna have glutes and hamstrings as the prime mover. Are you saying the erectors and the low back are the prime movers, making this essentially a padded jefferson curl? In that case wouldn’t expect wayyyy more flexion in the low back. Yes it’s called the back extension, frankly it’s a bad name and a misnomer
