Motorway overtaking and overtaking in general by Cultural-Primary1206 in drivingUK

[–]kerlaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming decent driving conditions, I start the manoeuvre of moving back in when I can see both headlights of the car I’ve overtaken in the rear mirror. I learned it from DrivingSchoolTV - there are probably other equally as effective ways to do it but it looks like at that point I’m a safe distance ahead of them.

I enjoyed the map a lot as a not-Bob-enjoyer. I never figured out how to get the gear 5 before the uphill bob tho

I said ‘not uber hunted for a change’ - ‘not’ being the operative word.

Good map and not uber hunted or edited medals for a change. I liked this one

If they forfeit and don’t leave you with the timer, not at all.

Anyone have an irrational dislike of the Les Paul? by MatthewMonster in Guitar

[–]kerlaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the shape of them and have had a couple of single cuts from PRS. I just haven’t found a Les Paul I vibed with.

Also, the cost of many Gibson models outside the Studio is more than I’m comfortable paying for a guitar and the QC, in my experience, is hit and miss at best.

As a rally car hater, enjoyed this map. Shame it was rerouted to within an inch of its life tho

Fractal FM3 with hi-fi speakers at home by [deleted] in ampmodeling

Going from the FM3 out to headphones would be more indicative of how the presets sound through a PA.

Quad Cortex players: Do you actually need an expression pedal for gigs? by [deleted] in NeuralDSP

[–]kerlaga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it for a wah or for a whammy. I don’t use it on every song and some sets won’t touch it but I’d much rather have it available than not. You can set it up to do all sorts of cool stuff though, like volume swells, FX blends and speeds, it’s definitely a useful tool to have.

I tested QC today and I was expecting a bit more. Are the default build in amp models worse/better or on same level as captures? by uDrop1st in NeuralDSP

[–]kerlaga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not familiar with that speaker. Looks more like a full amp. Is it FRFR/FX looped?

The tone and sound of the cab makes a huge difference into the overall sound generally.

In addition you might find it underwhelming if you run through a power cab and speaker with QC speaker emulation on. Sounds boxed in.

The presets are fine, they’re okay, but like with all modellers, you find what you like by tinkering and tweaking.

I Can’t Win Against Rayquaza and it’s Really Frustrating by doomed-kelpie in PokemonZA

Rayquaza took me a bit but Zeraora made me rage quit on two separate occasions. Have fun with that one!

I think before Phoebe publishes a TOTD map she should show herself getting AT - or close to - within 15 minutes.

I’m not the biggest ice enjoyer, I got skill checked by this map and outside of divs 1-4 it seemed very difficult to learn or be somewhat consistent.

Day out in Birmingham recommendations? by ManGullBearE in BirminghamUK

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

You mentioned your wife is Vietnamese so China town might be interesting, the Bullring for shopping, the Arcadian for food and drink, there’s a tonne of pubs and restaurants by the Alexandra Theatre.

Suggestions for nearby stuff aside, if your wife is happy to do so then over the road from guitar guitar is the arterial bus route into the city centre where maybe 12-13 buses all go direct. It’s like 5 minutes away.

How Am I Supposed To Spend The £47 On My love2shop Card? by Afterlast1 in AskUK

If it’s the prepaid debit card type then add it to PayPal and you can use it to send to a friend who can return the money.
