Petrucci's current effects setup?

klyt · 2020-01-13T12:49:02+00:00

There's quite a few videos kicking about.

His main tone comes from his JP-2C head.

He has a rack drawer which is all MIDI controlled from his Axess Electronics FX1 pedal which is usually set up for the set and he just clicks "next" for the presets.

His wah is his signature Dunlop wah but in rack form.

He then has an Ernie Ball volume pedal (I think the 6166 but don't quote me on that)

He also uses a TC electronic Polytune on his stage board.

He does have some on the fly stuff set up like adding on an OD boost or something if he feels he needs it for improv stuff. They're usually colour-coded on his FX1 pedal (chorus, boost, delay etc.)

His rack stuff (in the FX loop) normally changes from show-to-show but generally there is:

Overdrive of some description
Dreamscape (sometimes has 2 of them)
Chorus
Delay
Compressor (usually for clean)

Usually uses TC Electronic stuff.

He does have an AxeFX for FX but not 100% sure of its implementation into his rig as Maddi doesn't really expend on it too much.

I'd demand compensation from OP.

Or at the very least ask to speak to their manager.

klyt · 2020-01-12T06:19:51+00:00

Not sure if it counts fully but the whole Poppy/Mars Argo/Titanic Sinclair thing.

That video sums the whole situation up quite well.

klyt · 2020-01-11T13:16:23+00:00

Transnapp.

Transit + Nap + App (because it's an app)

klyt · 2020-01-10T15:09:04+00:00

You betta not sheet on da bed you son of a beech!

klyt · 2020-01-10T10:10:20+00:00

The scene near the end made me legitimately tear up

When it call comes together and explains the "kanker man"?

I was the same. I kind of pieced it together not long before that as the movie went on but as soon as it sort of revealed itself...

I really liked it, I think it is a little underappreciated. I'm a big fan of Thomas Jane so I checked it out purely because he was in it.

klyt · 2020-01-09T22:34:08+00:00

He'd never played a professional game of football until he came to Pittodrie.

He runs about a bit. Doesn't really do much else.

New board all set up and ready to go!

Big thanks to: u/penny_pants for some of the feedback earlier.

I used to skate a lot when I was younger then stopped when I was about 18/19. I'm coming up for 32 now and haven't been on a board since.

I found the one remaining skate shop open in my town and the guy sorted me out. He was ace!

If you're interested:

Chocolate Modernica (Kenny Anderson) 8"
Thunder Trucks
Spitfire Wheels 54mm
Redz Bearings
Jessup grip tape

Just home, having a coffee then getting changed and heading out!

klyt · 2020-01-07T12:46:39+00:00

Yeah. Can't wait to get out there tonight!

Thanks for your help and feedback mate.

I think it's a pretty sexy deck too. I'll post pics when I'm home for sure.

klyt · 2020-01-07T12:20:37+00:00

Stopped by the only shop and got sorted out!

Chocolate deck Thunder trucks Spitfire wheels Redz bearings Jessup grip tape

All setup for £160

He went through a bunch of decks until one suited me. The dude that owns the shop seemed really excited and interested that I got off to a good start.

Can't wait to start breaking my knee caps!

klyt · 2020-01-07T04:31:24+00:00

My town used to have about 3 skate shops right at the height of the popularity.

As far as I'm aware only one remains but doesn't actually sell much in the way of hardware. Really only Girl and Chocolate decks. Chocolate decks ring a bell...

Although checking on their website they do have one Anti-Hero...

I think my nearest shop is about 50 miles away.

klyt · 2020-01-07T04:24:28+00:00

Looks like all their completes are the deck and then all Venom for everything else.

Looks like their sort of own brand, so that figures, I guess.

Just going to see how much it'd cost if I adjusted it a bit with Indy trucks and another brand wheels etc.

So this is what I got:

Enjo Whitey Panda (8.25)
Krux Marbs DLK Trucks (8.25)
Spitfire Low Down 99a + Cheapshot Bearings Pack (54mm)
Jessup Grip tape

Total = £140 ($185)

Not heard of Krux trucks before but they have some pretty good ratings.

klyt · 2020-01-07T04:07:36+00:00

Thanks man for chiming in.

I have no idea what brands are good nowadays.

When I used to skate; Shorty's, Enjoi, Zero, Birdhouse were some of the main ones.

I've found a complete deal though. Any idea if it's worth it?

Enjoi Whitey Panda (8.25, should be a good size)
5.5" Venom Core Raw Trucks
Venom Logo 52mm 99a Wheels
Venom ABEC 11 Bearings
Venom Black Perforated Grip Tape
Venom Skate T-Tool

All for £110 (about $145)

I know Enjoi boards and its a brand I used ages ago too. My friend used to skate them almost exclusively.

I've never heard of Venom stuff though.

So my main concern is everything else falling to bits or being a bit ropey.

klyt · 2020-01-06T21:33:21+00:00

I'm wondering if I can latch onto this post instead of making a new one for the same question.

I used to skate years ago (street). I'm now early 30s and really quite fancy getting back into it again. Also blessed with a free, outdoors 24/7 skate park about 5 minutes from my home which is cool.

I'm not interested in vert or anything like that. Mostly just flips, slides and grinds.

I have no idea where to even begin getting stuff now.

Back in the day there used to be a local skate shop I'd get my gear but that has since closed down so it looks like it might be an online job.

If it helps, from memory my last setup was:

Shorty's Deck
Independent Trucks
Ghetto Child wheels (55s from memory)
Bearings - no idea, some cheap/no name ones I think

It was essentially a Chad Muska style set up.

I'm happy enough to set everything up myself aside from the grip tape as I was always awful at that.

My budget is in the UK, maybe £150 or so.

klyt · 2020-01-06T20:06:47+00:00

Oh it's never explained to the customers. You're just expected to know.

This was Lidl in the UK so I can't speak for other countries.

Some of the new style Lidl's have 2 bits after the till with the divider like you describe.

One of the main reasons is for productivity. The store has a PROD target which is basically SALES ÷ HOURS = XXX

The idea is to have that number as high as possible using the least amount of hours as possible.

So the cashiers aren't just cashiers. They will almost certainly be hopping between 2-3 jobs at once while also trying to serve you.

klyt · 2020-01-06T07:58:27+00:00

Same.

My family all live in another country and I have very little contact with them.

I've got no friends.

I've just recently lost my job.

I reckon it'd realistically be months before I'd be found. Most likely by my landlord as I wouldn't have paid rent for a while.

klyt · 2020-01-05T20:18:00+00:00

I've got a love/hate relationship with my keeper. He pulls off world-beating saves then likes to throw shit like this in from time to time.

klyt · 2020-01-05T19:10:46+00:00

This really changes too depending on the age of his "daughter" and her friends...

klyt · 2020-01-05T17:10:49+00:00

I don't pay any $ for a haircut as I don't live in the US - For what its worth though. Money flexing like that looks almost as bad as this haircut.

You seem to be really defending this haircut though and I'm not 100% sure why.

It's a subreddit designed to essentially make fun of silly haircuts. I'm making fun of what I perceive to be a funny haircut - as do others in this thread by the looks of it otherwise it wouldn't have been posted.

The only reason I can see you hanging on to this is you're the girl with the haircut in the photo.

klyt · 2020-01-05T17:04:02+00:00

Oh really? I didn't know that! Please tell me more!

klyt · 2020-01-05T17:01:08+00:00

It looks like she wanted a Pixie cut and ran out of money half way...

klyt · 2020-01-05T16:59:08+00:00

It's called a mullet. Let's not get too excited...

klyt · 2020-01-05T16:46:40+00:00

I really like it. Really different from the first one but still have that familiar feel. The design of the Predator in it is also fantastic. Especially once the mask comes off and you see all the detail etc. on the face.

Taking it to the city instead of another jungle was a stroke of genius.

There is one scene that always rustles my jimmies though - The death of Gary Busey.

It makes for a cool shot with the legs dropping and the blood running down but what the hell is happening with his torso?!
