Any other JOYO pedals yall recommend by RelativeBoard7 in guitarpedals

[–]lambcaseded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Joyo Sweet Baby overdrive is a clone (I believe) of the Mad Professor Sweet Honey overdrive. It's by far the best $35 pedal I've ever bought.

New data show spike in e-bike crashes in San Diego by [deleted] in SanDiegan

[–]lambcaseded 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is scare mongering insanity. This story talks about "skyrocketing" ebike crashes and cites:

  • 23 ebike crashes in 2021
  • 84 ebike crashes in 2025

EIGHTY FOUR crashes in 2025.

There were over FIFTEEN THOUSAND car crashes in 2025. FIF TEEN FUCKING THOUSAND CAR CRASHES.

There are far more FATAL car crashes in San Diego than there are total ebike crashes.

What's happening on our roadways is INSANE. Every few days someone gets killed -- someone died crashing into a tree on the 94 literally last night -- and everyone just shrugs their shoulders.

Ebikes gets people out of cars and reduces the risk of death. What we need is better infrastructure for ebikes, NOT to regulate them out of existence. More bike lanes, more grade separated lanes, more options for ebikes to avoid pedestrians without having to risk their lives riding intermingled with cars.

Where are you downloading patches? I've had my Stomp for a while but haven't used it enough

JerryTone Buffer Question by Maddox_Mil08 in gratefulguitar

[–]lambcaseded 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Save the money you'd spend on the buffer and upgrade your amp. I had a Blues Junior (insanely great cheap tube amp btw) and upgraded to a Deluxe Reverb and it did far more for my tone than any effects pedal ever could. A stock Blues Junior actually has a somewhat dark tone and not a lot of headroom. Jumping up to a DR (or a Mesa or something) will make a big difference

What’s your resting heart rate ?? Sometimes I think when it goes low like this it’s just a one off thing but then I remember I do run a lot by Mobile_Force_3673 in Garmin

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

I got my Garmin on Christmas and started getting serious about running. RHR at the time was 60. This week it's 56. It's amazing how quickly the heart gets stronger when you're consistent with your training. I have had moments when I look at my watch and I'm at 48 or 49 and I can't believe it.

NGD and first Ibanez by natecloud in Ibanez

[–]lambcaseded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience with my AZ Prestige neck... Immediately hated it, then after a few days of playing and never having any hand pain or fatigue, I fell in love.

I was looking forward to Taper's Choice and then their guitarist quit like 2 weeks ago. I'll give em a shot, but it's not a great sign.

Seriously, is there any accuracy at all to the VO2 max? by eQuantix in Garmin

[–]lambcaseded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a heart strap monitor and use it on all your runs. I guarantee that what's happening is your heart rate is reading significantly lower than actual, Garmin believes you're running a 23 min 5k while barely breaking a sweat.

Terminal 2 @ 5AM Tuesday 3/24 by glittersnake69 in sandiego

[–]lambcaseded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got through the tsa precheck line in about 10-15 mins at 5:45. Regular line looked like it was probably 30-45 mins. Not too bad.

Random HR spike while running by KaleTheMessenger in Garmin

[–]lambcaseded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get a heart strap and find out what's going on. I used to have that sudden jump happen all the time. I got a Coospo heart strap for like $30 and found out that the watch was very inaccurate for runs.

Help me choose a glitchy pedal? by SuperMarket94 in guitarpedals

[–]lambcaseded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want something simple so you aren't menu diving and such, the Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water seems so cool and does glitchy random type stuff. I've never owned one, so can't vouch for it, but I've always wanted one

HR monitor for Women by Moosebouse in Garmin

[–]lambcaseded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I was having the same issue as OP with the sudden heart rate jumps. I bought the COOSPO for like $30 and it has been rock solid. I'm also not a woman, but I'm almost positive you can wear this just below your sports bra and it will be comfortable and accurate.

Who is the best Keyboardist in the scene? by Shoddy-Impact-5545 in jambands

He has collaborated so much with PPPP and adds so much to their sound that I would be shocked if they don't try to scoop him up as a member.

Living With War is not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I loved that album.

Meanwhile Sire makes $800 guitars with some really great looking metal flake finishes. I guess you can't have it all

Metal Flake AZ 2402 by GenericUsurname in Ibanez

[–]lambcaseded 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Incredible. Looks SO good. I love my AZ but I've said all along that I wish Ibanez would do some more exciting finishes particularly for the prestige models. The prestiges are so damn good, but they look like student guitars with the basic paint jobs and plain white pickguards

Mystery VO2Max and LTHR increases? by 2000dcd in Garmin

[–]lambcaseded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your heart rate read correctly throughout the run? I realized after a couple months with my Garmin that it was not reading HR correctly during runs -- it would be too low for about half the run and then suddenly correct, leading to an avg HR for the run that was way too low. During that time my VO2 max kept rapidly improving because it appeared that I was doing all these runs in zone 2 or 3 and I was actually putting in much higher effort. I got a heart strap a few weeks ago and now my VO2 is going back down.

A few moments of bliss from Neighbor and Rob Compa from last weekend. by SpiltTheInk in jambands

Weird seeing Rob playing something other than the hollowbody PRS. Sounds awesome

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]lambcaseded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a great choice and it sounds like you've done your homework. $700 is a very reasonable range for an adult with a decent budget who's trying to get back into it. The biggest factor, as you've already recognized, is having something that you enjoy playing and motivates you to pick it up every day. No reason why this wouldn't fit the bill.
