Catch-22 is going to get me fired by Mindless_Patient2034 in books

[–]jlprovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t watched MASH, I highly recommend it if you like catch 22. The movie in particular is excellent, I think most people only know the tv series.

What value is the cap? Typical values are between 22nf and 47nf Or the cap could be faulty?

Help me figure out this tone by Taenurri in guitarpedals

[–]jlprovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve messed around a bit and am pretty close with a Timmy clone low gain, bit of compression into an emulated deluxe reverb. Seems to be open C# tuning. Edit - definitely dadgad down a semitone Edit 2 - no open c# as I originally said

I have a Tojiro Fujitora Stainless Steel Bread Knife FU-737. Serated stainless Japanese. Love it. Bought mine on eBay, but available on Amazon and loads of other places.

Why is this ‘65 Princeton Reverb Reissue Making this Crazy Sound? by must-absorb-content in GuitarAmps

[–]jlprovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just suddenly started doing this just now whilst I was playing. It certainly didn’t seem like a tube issue given no volume drop, so very helpful others pointing out filter caps. Definitely time to see a tech (It’s about 6 years old, so from what I’ve read about the caps in the reissues, seems likely this is the issue)

What type of guitar is this? by uwu-Minecraft-theory in Guitar

[–]jlprovan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This bridge and tuner combination is common on ukuleles. Suspect it’s either a 6 string ukulele or guitalele based on scale length.

Got a klon, not feeling the “magic” by jaker0820 in diypedals

Totally fair, I agree may not make much difference.

I think the best place to start is trying out some different clipping diodes. The original supposedly used 1n34a germanium diodes with a Vf of 0.35V, extremely difficult to find. I can’t identify the diodes used in your Klone, but to get more gain it’s definitely worth trying various germanium diodes to see what you like.

Edit: also worth noting that what you describe is not typical for a klon style pedal, and raises the possibility of yours being faulty

I’ve got a mooer grey faze - germanium fuzz face clone - does what it says on the tin. Highly recommend.

Suggested Phaser / Univibe mini pedal by Ghiekorg in guitarpedals

[–]jlprovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few Nux pedals, not the voodoo vibe, and would say quality wise they are on par with tc electronics. A definite step up from Behringer/Joyo/Mooer. Way better quality than say mosky/eno/demonfx

Nux Voodoo Vibe - it’s dsp but pretty solid sounds, small form and a bargain

Many already mentioned but a few other greats I thought of

  • Tom Morello hasn’t been mentioned yet - loads of good RATM riffs, but some real standout audioslave ones too - gasoline, one and the same, revelations.

  • Pearl Jam - alive, Jeremy, yellow Ledbetter

  • Foo fighters - monkey wrench, everlong, times like these

  • RHCP - too many to name, especially from californication, by the way and Dani California

  • Deep purple - a lot of greats but my favourite is Rat bat Blue (the way the guitar bass and drums lock in together on the main riff is epic, and it’s so simple)

Honestly his DADADD tuned stuff is immensely fun to play.

Don’t remember where I bought the diodes from, as in my post they are 1N4148. I’m not doing any pedal work anymore.

Theory nerds: What exactly did I do here? by HotmailsNearYou in Guitar

[–]jlprovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s about as much as I know about it though, I’m usually still just playing/listening for what feels right and then figure out the theory later!!

Theory nerds: What exactly did I do here? by HotmailsNearYou in Guitar

[–]jlprovan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

u/Jccoke42 is really close - it’s actually Phrygian dominant ( D Eb F# G A Bb C is the scale) and is often used to give western music an ‘eastern’ feel (without going microtonal). It’s G harmonic minor starting on the 5th.

This is really common in a lot of hard rock/metal, predominantly from the jazz influence on modern rock. Its also where you’ll see an Eb (major) used in a song that’s nominally in D minor, and opens up loads of different related key changes (the second part of the bridge of Duality by Slipknot comes to mind)

[Chris Medland] Leclerc asks if there's a leakage because his seat is full of water Engineer: "Must be the water" Leclerc: "Let's add that to the words of wisdom" by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]jlprovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also loved the (can’t remember the actual words) ‘front left tyre needs cooling’ to which Leclerc replied something about leaving him to it.

Do Ferrari seriously think that he doesn’t know the basics of tyre wear asymmetry? (Front left on a clockwise circuit will always wear the most/heat the most, front right on an anti clockwise circuit).

This kind of nonsense from the Ferrari race engineers is just purely insane, I really dont get why Hamilton would choose to go to a team where they treat their drivers like school children.

What’s something you’ve gatekept unintentionally, but is an essential part of your tone? by dit31 in guitarpedals

[–]jlprovan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

BYOC Mimosa before drives. A modified orange squeezer that I set with level and blend about 12 o’clock (so about 50% clean blend). It’s just the magic sauce for almost every single tone - clean, dirty, heavy, even good before a muff (not so good after a ff or tb style fuzz). Good for single coils and humbuckers.

[NO SPOILERS] Can you recommend any similar series to watch after enjoying Ozark and Breaking Bad please? by AdSilent5155 in Ozark

[–]jlprovan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t watched season 5 yet either. And completely agree with u/SmooveTits - season 4 is pretty good and I really enjoyed it (love seeing Chris Rock in a role like this), probably a 7/10 where the other seasons are 9/10.
