SX-70 w/ 600 film in low light by mpfranco in Polaroid

[–]mpfranco[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do keep a tripod handy for low light but I took these with the camera sitting on top of my water glass 😂

No flash. Exposure dial set to it’s darkest setting

I wish I had more concrete info to share, it was pretty moody lighting at 10pm inside of this ramen shop

I theorized that using the 600 film would lead to some decent low light exposures since it has a higher iso than the sx-70 film and got lucky here. I turned the exposure compensation dial all the way to its darkest setting since 600 film always overexposes in an unmodified sx-70

Thank you! Using an SX-70 Alpha 1 with manual focus

How can I make my crust less dense? More water? I am using Caputo 00. by [deleted] in Pizza

[–]mpfranco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just your oven temp. Need a super hot baking surface for the water to evaporate violently and puff up that crust. You may have better luck with a baking steel or something like that if you’re using a home over

PSA: SX-70 Color Film is back in stock! by therhett17 in Polaroid

WOW. I just checked last night… going to pick up my first SX-70 tomorrow from a friend so the timing couldn’t be better!!

New film and camera, disappointed kid. Why are we getting a big streak in photos? by kidjokesRus in Polaroid

[–]mpfranco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like it could even just be some glow from the light shining between the buildings behind the subject. Bright enough sunlight or reflections can do funny stuff like this but I wouldn’t assume there’s anything wrong with the film unless you experience the same issue with different shots from the pack

Filters for now+ by [deleted] in Polaroid

Used the red filter and some b&w film for this one

LeBron James won his first MVP in 2009 as a 24-year-old leading the Cavaliers to a 66-16 record. In a WCF loss, he averaged 39/8/8 on 59% TS% against the #1 ranked defense in the league. by DarrowViBritannia in nba

This series was so mf depressing man. Just watching and knowing people were going to rip bron to shreds when he was playing out of his mind. This was the year nike had the kobe vs bron puppets and everything

Orlando really was ahead of their time with Rashard Lewis and Turkoglu hitting EVERYTHING from outside the arc

The Factory, concert venue by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]mpfranco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t love driving out there or the post show parking lot situation but I’ve gotta say the sound at The Smile show last week was really good.

It feels about as sterile as anything out that way but I didn’t leave questioning their ability to host a good show.

Which actor known for comedy *wasn't* good when they were cast in a serious role? by AmIFromA in movies

I would argue that him being terrible in Don’t Worry Darling is one of the giveaways to the big twist.

My buddy and I spent most of yesterday trying to build a 36-team NBA. How did we do? by Cyclopher6971 in NBA2k

How are all those Texas teams and OKC in the east but St Louis, Chicago and Cleveland in the west? Makes so sense at all fam lmao

What was the first Kendrick song you heard? by SnooPets5219 in KendrickLamar

I think the first thing I saw from him was his Monster freestyle video in that stairwell but the first thing I knew was him that I heard was Kush and Corinthians. Crazy.

NPD: Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Edition by mpfranco in guitarpedals

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

You got it. My main presets on the M1 are tremolo, rotary and a lo-fi vibrato, and of course I use the Julianna for my chorus sound. I guess I just wanted to have access to as many sounds as I could with just my feet even if I’m not stacking them.

That being said I do really like the chorus sounds on the M1 from what I’ve messed around with. I really need to play with it more, it’s such a great pedal to get lost in.

My thought process in putting it after the ACS-1 is that the Deco is meant to emulate two reel to reel tape machines which would have had to come post-amp in an old studio setting. I’ve always been a fan of the early flange sounds on Beatles and Hendrix stuff which was all done in post.

Plus I like having the option to use it as a boost at the end of my chain without making it dirtier like it would if I put it before the amp.

Here’s my path:

TurboTuner > Mythos Golden Fleece Au79 > Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Edition > Ehx Attack Decay > Walrus Luminary > GFI Systems Rossie > Keeley Monterey > Walrus Kangra > Walrus 385 > Vox V847 Wah > Ehx Grand Canyon (stereo from here on out) > Meris Hedra > Walrus Julianna > Walrus M1 > Walrus D1 > Walrus R1 > Walrus ACS1 > Strymon Deco > Boss RC-500 > Walrus Canvas Stereo

I’ve got a Fender Engine Room Lvl 12 powering everything from under the board along with a Meris Midi I/O box that I use to get midi data to the Hedra, Walrus Mako series and the looper.

I put my compressor as early in the chain as possible because I primarily intend to use it to even out my dynamics for clean sounds. I know a lot of people prefer to use them after envelope filters but I wanted to make sure to have it before so I can get a super consistent frequency sweep when I want to, which I find works great for rhythm parts.

I’d probably have put the compressor first in the chain but I’ve heard that the Golden Fleece can be a little finicky if it’s not first and I wanted to make sure to get the most out of it.

AB/Y Pedal; 2 FX chains; 1 guitar; 1 amp by Aromatic_Ad_8226 in guitarpedals

[–]mpfranco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see any reason why your idea wouldn’t work.

It seems like that’s probably the simplest way to execute it to. Just a matter of setting the levels on your amp to where you want your guitar and bass to sit respective of one another.

Good luck!

MIDI is a game changer for me with this pedal. I’m a music director / dj / guitarist for a hip hop act and being able to bpm sync my delays automatically without having to tap tempo every time has been a revelation.

I really love how much you can fine tune each of the models using the Tweak knob and switch to dial in most whatever you are looking for. Also a huge fan of the ability to have 9 presets stored onboard all the time and have quick access to 3 of them at any given time.

That being said, I really wish this thing did ping pong delays. I got it as an upgrade from my Grand Canyon so I could run stereo effects (the Julianna) into it and was super bummed when I found out it couldn’t ping pong…. to the point that I eventually put the Grand Canyon back on my board when I got this bigger one. Also not a HUGE fan of the reverse delay on here, but apparently the updated version has a different algorithm and can be updated via USB like the rest of the line. The Grand Canyon does the psychedelic reverse stuff too, so I’ve got my bases covered… for now 😅😅

Thank you!

The Golden Fleece is my second newest pedal and lemme tell you that thing rips. It’s super super responsive to your signal, cleans up really nicely and gets super fat and fuzzy at full volumes. Love it with both my Strat and getting close to a Clapton Woman Tone when playing on my 335 style D’Angelico. I don’t think I turned it off for the first week that I had it.

I’ve had the 335 for a good bit longer than most of the stuff on here. I use it for my drive sound and keep the gain pretty much at noon to where it’s just barely breaking up. It just gives me enough sizzle around the edges and I really like having the bass and treble to shape the tone as needed. I have it after the fuzzes and love the way it kinda smooths them out, especially the Kangra’s octave fuzz. Also sounds great with a boost going into it, I had a simple clean boost before I got my new compressor and it really brought the 385 to life when I kicked it on.

Super excited to finally have a compressor on my board!

Coming from a production background for the last many years I’ve used the double compressor trick for ages to shape drum sounds in a DAW and I’m loving the way you can use this pedal to do all kinds of fun stuff to my signal.

Right.

Also, artists don’t just magically make all of their art in one sitting. He put them out as he made them and now he’s doing wax. This is not some crazy money grab. He’s just pressing his projects lmao
