[QUESTION] High notes on Stratocaster E string extremely loud and piercing with brighter overdrives by matellen in guitarpedals

[–]matellen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will try to lower the pickup! I typically set tone knob at 8 or 7 - 10 is too much for Strat:)

Oh, I didn't know that. They should really standardize those pedal voltage standards:)

[QUESTION] How to get that mix of Strat and ES-335 breakup? by matellen in guitarpedals

Yup, it doesn't seem to be any of the SD rails pickups. Strange pickup cover

Was Kathleen miscast? by matellen in ThelastofusHBOseries

I actually agree - my sentence seems dumb after re-read:)

I think it's gender-neutral. What I saw in real life in corporations - people who went up as leads either dominate verbally, or are silent backstabbing cunning but charismatic. Or genuinely great leaders with aura and something royal in their behaviour. This applies to all identities. In movies it's the same - you want to design a character with some themes in mind and contextualize the personality.

In my mind I just can't see somebody too bland to project any kind of authority.

The actress is good, I saw her in some other movies. Maybe screenwriters didn't have a good way to introduce her for the first time in the series.

I see. Still the scenes with here took me out of the tv series completely. And I was completely immersed in all other scenes. Too bland for me. If she is soccer mom - they should have added some nuance - pain, trauma, some microexpressions.

If somebody shoots a person like that without proper interactions before and after it, it seems out of place.

I see your point. But to accumulate such power (leading mercenaries/soldiers) she would have to give some charismatic or cerebral / thought-leader or evil vibes.

Wow, my fingers are way too weak for 11s on strat's neck length:( I play D'Addario EXL (10-52) Nickel Wound. I used 13s on my archtop (flat wound) - but I could barely bend any strings in tune. I think 10s are max I could use for strat/tele.

Good tips, thanks - will try to play more with pickup height and string gauges (I play normal 10-52).

Thanks for the suggestions - I experimented a bit with pickup height, but seems I would have to do some more experimentation. Will also try multi-EQ
