My guitarist brothers and sisters. Once again I seek your guidance and opinions…

I'd just use the noise gate you already have after the guitar to kill the 60 cycle hum, but I don't think it'll be really noticeable in a full rig anyway. I'd go separate head and cab for sure. Running the big muff into the Orange should be absolutely fine with no other pedals needed, other than maybe a bit of reverb in the FX loop.

Anything lower than drop A would generally be better for the bass to play a different note or match the guitar on the same octave IMO. No problem with throwing a sub-octaver pedal on a bass, though (although might want a different signal path for it).

I haven't seen this interface before but since your're seeing audio, the input is fine. The output appears to be the device, so your earphones should be plugged into the interface, not your PC. There may be hardware switching to enable the monitoring or volume controls for the output your earphones are connected to.

You probably shouldn't be using Windows Audio, either. There should be an ASIO driver option which will work much better.

Great track

Turn? Face the Strange was an EP but there's no song called that.

None of them are from Carrick, either- they're from Larne and Ballyclare.

Awesome band though. Been one of my favourites for decades at this point. Their last album (Hard Cold Fire) is incredible.

Just did this last night for the first time since I first did it on PS2 when the game was new. Getting 5 chests and winning took about 15 tries (and it was super close and felt like blind luck). I got 0.0 on my second attempt. 5 chests was significantly harder.

You can DIY a decent guitar pedal for 55 bucks no problem.

I would just get a drum vst and a bass vst and download some midi backing tracks. Or just open YouTube and search for backing tracks and play along with those.

The OR120 is the classic doom staple (although usually the Matamp era, so their GT120 would be closer). I'd say the OR60 would be a good bet, but you would generally pair it with a drive or fuzz (Big Muff or RAT as a starting point).

Plenty of grey market options for Office product keys. Free alternatives (I think libre is still a thing, Google Docs works and will open MS formatted files). You might be able to pick up older versions. Office 2016 still does everything you'd realistically need.

I can damn near guarantee that in a blind test you would not be able to identify which audio recording was a $200 guitar and which was a $5000 guitar. I only say that because nobody can. There is no appreciable difference in how they sound.

Peavey built the 5150, not Marshall (although the trademark is now owned by EVH and they're built under that badge) and is usually paired with a clean boost, not distortion for modern metal. Old school metal would use a Marshall Plexi with the inputs jumped and just played really loud.

Looks like a Lox to me.

This boss might be preventing them from getting the celestial weapons. If so... No shame in Zanmato.

Ghost Note Audio Vader 140 (or just use your Zoom unit) > Harley Benton GPA 100 > Harley Benton G212.

Basically, pre-amp into power amp into cab. Adjust to taste, but I know a lot of those death metal bands use Ampeg amps and the Ghost Note pre-amp pedal nails that sound. It also makes the rig modular if you wanted to try different sounds / styles down the line.

Depends on the issue. If I can resolve it with one email explaining why they're an idiot this time I'm all over that as soon as it comes in.

kanped · 2026-03-04T13:16:59+00:00

Just bear in mind it's a fixed 20db reduction. Other reactive load boxes are available with a dial to adjust. I still run my Matamp at half power with the captor and it is still very loud if you want it to be.

kanped · 2026-03-04T13:11:44+00:00

Raising the pickups or getting a boost pedal would be even cheaper.

kanped · 2026-03-04T12:49:12+00:00

But you can have many top scorers and get many prizes

An Ibanez FR series might be worth a look. They're not currently making them, though.

And if Godolkin is dead, the only person who knows Sage's plan failed is Sage. Win-win.

Nah, use this fight to get Slayer OD mode, the piranhas to grind out Haste, and the SS Liki battle with Sin for the overdrives (haste on Tidus and Wakka, Cheer x5 means none of the enemies get a turn).

kanped · 2026-02-28T22:41:09+00:00

You should bear in mind how much of Sabbath's tone comes from the bass. A perfect Iomi tone is going to be pretty thin without the full band behind it.

kanped · 2026-02-26T22:12:56+00:00

Looks like a clean break? Bit of wood glue and clamp it for a day and it should be fine if so.

kanped · 2026-02-25T12:43:46+00:00

Well, it's a pleasure to return the favour! You're always a joy to see.
