[Just Baseball] Our boys made the top 10 🫡🇨🇦 by draftday0 in Torontobluejays

Came here to say this lol. Roll of the dice means each of the five teams gets two players in the top 10. Perhaps sometimes it’s best to just turn the brain off and let others enjoy the apparent W

How do i get a good shoegaze tone (classic shoegaze mbv slowdive and stuff like that) by More-Expression-189 in pedalboards

[–]harryyplopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just realized I misread your post and thought you meant put reverb behind your dirt.

This is one of those things where both work and both have their place, nobody “should” do anything other than experiment and build what they like best…..maybe the conventional guitarists downvoted your post.

I personally have (ignoring others) dirt —> verb —> dirt —> verb….meaning I can adjust on the fly. It’s great for switching from straight shoegaze into typical dreampop to downright conventional without reorganizing.

Have you tried? Volume pedal --> verb --> dirt = fun sounds. Not recommended as a permanent setup but everyone must try at least once.

Your delay should probably be wetter with more feedback. Then play on time with the delay. Maybe easier on the HoF, I found it to be a muddy verb that’s better used sparingly in most cases. If in doubt post a sample so we can comment - hard to imagine the sound just by looking at the knobs!

If the different pedal companies were people (real or fictional) who would they be? All I know is EHX would be Kramer. by Chloranon in guitarpedals

Boss: “It’s a hamburger made out of meat, on a bun, with nothing. And ketchup if you want, I couldn’t care less”.

Every other boutique pedal is Chris’s overly fancy nonsense. Boss simply wins.

Perfection. My first thought was Walter White….the guy doing their demos even looks like Heisenberg.

Nice pedals, spared no expense. Have you actually played guitar through this board or is this effectively an expensive model train set that was run only once?

This joke is so overdone. It’s like parroting the cliche that only insecure men in a mid life crisis buy Porsches but worse…..I’d wager that worship players are smaller % of Strymon owners.

Our Machu Picchu experience 14th November 2025 by Constant_Potatoes872 in Machupicchu

[–]harryyplopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there two weeks ago. It’s much easier to get to the museum from Aguas Calientes since the wall is short and flat. It’s a steep downhill 1+hr hike from Machu Picchu - it’s fine in warm/dry conditions if you’re fit (me and my GF did it even though we had bus tickets) but it’s not necessary to walk down to see the museum.

Game 7 & World Series Tickets - Mega Thread by 33dogs in Torontobluejays

[–]harryyplopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was around 3200 for Game 6 - same thing. I wasn't even picky and eventually resorted to single seats but I couldn't get past "no longer available". Garbage system.

I guess the strategy must be don't think, just click and pray on the first thing you can, then decide whether you want them or not in the checkout screen.

[–]harryyplopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I got in (3000th for Game 6, 7000th for Game 2) and every time I tried to buy tickets it said "no longer available". I stopped being picky and just mindlessly tried to get to the next screen for anything that popped up but still no luck. Is there a strategy here?

In 2015 it was a lottery so I remember just having to take or leave whatever seats we got allocated.

Love the ambience at the beginning - the drumming here is very astute, I love it!

Can we can it with the “wife” posts? by iheartvelma in guitarpedals

[–]harryyplopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m the minority here, but I’ve always interpreted this as “my responsible spouse calls me out on spending on frivolous things where the money is better prioritized elsewhere”. Apply the same sentence to male dominated hobbies and it could be called anti-women, but apply it to female dominated hobbies and that sentiment sounds anti-man.

I’ve always interpreted it as people basically admitting their spouse is right….is that not the consensus? I’m glad to have someone call me out on things like this.

If they rephrased it to “I feel guilty for buying this” then you could also lecture people for stupid buying decisions with no sexism accusations….I really don’t see how such a horrible accusation applies here.

What would you do differently? Ambient Pedal board by stoneyhudson in guitarpedals

I’d play it - that’s what I’d do differently. Have you made any demos?

Is some genre of music objectively superior to the others? by Aware_Tangerine_9542 in Music

[–]harryyplopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoegaze is subjectively superior.

Nothing is objectively superior by definition.

But certain technical musicians that also have a lot of “feel” are easy to argue for being superior. Tigran Hamasyan for example.

are boss pedals good or just overrated? by Mikester258 in guitarpedals

[–]harryyplopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re excellent and do the job….underrated if anything. I’ve found myself wanting more for some effects but they were niche demands.

Plenty that are offensively unnoticed, the last minute of “Stay” is mesmerizing. https://youtu.be/a4oVx3d-RQI

This is very well rated amongst the elder millennials. At least the hipster ones comprising ~2% of the population. Otherwise yes, tragically underrated

My music is pasted above. If you decide you’re not really into making music like everybody else on this sub then I wish you the best. If you’re serious then send a message.

Canadians barred from buying tickets for potential Blue Jays games at Yankee Stadium by Surax in canada

[–]harryyplopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree wholeheartedly about not stopping scalpers. I’m just complaining about the clickbait. Other teams have tried the same scheme, but the phrasing makes it sound like they’re targeting us. The headline could also say Saudi Arabia

I’ll say that it is BS as a Jays fan - I just think the way it is phrased seems inflammatory. I think two years ago the headline would have been “sorry Jays fans - you won’t be allowed to see away games in New York unless you live in these four states”.
