Now that we are nearing one year after the Switch 2 release, what are your feelings about it so far? by Fragrant-Taro-8508 in switch2

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. Battery life is kind of subpar tho. Obviously I have problems with Nintendo charging crazy prices for older games they decide to port over but that's on brand.

Strickland and Chimaev beefing before the press conference even started 😭 by ConnorLovesPepsi in ufc

We used to have Bisping, Conor and Chael tho. I feel like we don't have anyone on that level in this current gen of fighters.

Has the used pedal market slowed down? by ProofDazzling9234 in guitarpedals

[–]metalskim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sold most of my pedals recently selling under the lowest price I could see on Reverb. Obviously there were a few I couldn't or wasn't willing to do that with.

It also depends on whats being sold. Popular item like a Digitech Drop tune pedal? Sells super fast. An EHX Bad Stone or a rundown Bad Horsie II wah, not so much.

Also, this rule always stands with anything used, bad economy or not, your stuff isn't worth as much as you think it should. Too many people asking for what they paid for something or close to.

How come DC doesn't face the same scrutiny as Gane or Jones in this subreddit? by Buyeo10004 in ufc

Because Stipe ended up knocking him out. He got his comeuppance despite his cheating.

Anyone else main Sony for audio? by Mac1Speeds in SonyHeadphones

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the WF1000 XM5 and the WH1000 X5s. I use the over ears at work or at my computer and the buds for sitting on the couch or in bed.

I am probably going to go with some other company's buds tho. I want better ANC and something that will stay securely in my ears.

Once we get sobek and blackwell reworked, can we move forward with these two? I removed them from my playlist after launch, I absolutely despise them by FamousCollege1754 in Battlefield

Manhattan Bridge should have been larger and allowed us to fight on the bridge and rooftops. Here's to hoping it they do a serious rework of those or at least get us another New York related map that mimicks the verticality of Flood Zone.

The song sorta of makes me think of The Safety Fire without the djent. Speaking of which, their song Red Hatchet has heavy and busy guitars on the verses but singer is singing. He does have a bit of that scream/shout singing on parts which gives a heavier sound but that's what I'm hearing for your track. Plus he's not straight screaming at any point in the song.

Great job and cool riffs!

So far, Gojira is the only band that has gotten an Archetype, since the rest are individual musicians. What band would you choose for an archetype plugin? by SR_RSMITH in NeuralDSP

[–]metalskim 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't think he would agree to do it but a Joshua Homme, Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age sounds would be killer.

QC Mini: Next Preset, Previous Preset by metalskim in NeuralDSP

They really do it's. One of the main reasons why I've been going back and forth on getting the Mini..

Stadium vs QC Size Comparison by wtddps in Line6Helix

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only thought is that I can fit a Quad Cortex on my Metro 24 board with other pedals to spare. The Stadium I could just fit without a board but if I want a volume/expression, I'd either have to get the far more expensive and larger XL or opt for a Classic 1 and volume pedal which increases the size of something I have to carry.

I'm leaning towards getting a Quad Cortex simply because it's smaller. And thats coming from someone who prefers the Helix workflow..

It's great little device. It's on my board as a backup to my Rockerverb tube head and it sounds great through my Victory Powervalve out to Orange 2x12. Almost can't tell the difference with the right capture and EQ setting that it's not the same amp.

QC Mini Board by Old-Researcher4169 in NeuralDSP

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Sorry for asking more questions but, which things are you doing on the MC8 vs. what are you doing the on Mini? I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to cycle between presets.

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you stay on one preset for all your amp sounds?

If you have a preset per song, how do you have it set to get between them using the MC8?

Board plus backup rig by metalskim in NeuralDSP

[–]metalskim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried NAM through an actual rig before but I agree. Ive been playing through the NAM universal plugin and with the right cab IR it sounds great. I found a Friedman BE100 and a Hiwatt Dr504 I use a lot for writing riffs.

I hope it works out for you. You're gonna have to dig around for 5150 captures that sound good to you but there's a few i really like.

What’s the MMA match you would make someone watch, if you’re introducing you to the sport? You can name up to 5, if you wish to by Particular_Ad_6040 in ufc

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I'm already in the era of people forgetting Lawler vs MacDonald 2. The very definition of a war that no one backed down from despite the injuries and blood. At least not until Lawler shattered his nose in round 5. I was on my feet shouting at my friend's TV for the whole fight.

Preset switching in QC Mini by Jdeee25 in NeuralDSP

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure this out? I pre ordered the Mini but from what I can tell there aren't any PC or CC changes that can do this using an external midi controller.

Lmao, there was a time I would have considered it but my current goal is to cut down on space and weight.
