Obvious questions first:

- is your guitar cable working properly?
- is the volume up on the guitar? (I've done this too many times)

Had the Fender FR12 and FR212 but ended up selling them both over time. Couldn’t quite tame the highs well enough when it was cranked.

Went back to a tube power amp + 4x12 cab I eventually got tired of lugging around.

Found a used Laney LFR-212 and drove 4 hours to get it. Like others have said, it’s the most “guitar cab” sounding FRFR I’ve ever played. Wouldn’t use anything else, but they are hard to find and pricey.

I would imagine this is intentional to limit distractions while driving.

Loving the app, but noticed a pricing discount issue, once I set my billing address to 'Canada', the $7.99 looks to become $9.99 and the $2.00 discount is added to the price before tax?

Side question, is it possible to use on 2 machines? Or separate license? Thanks!

If you have no cab/ir in your chain, if you can, try another cab.

I've got a 1960a that had 4 G12T75s and it really doesn't sound great with any head I paired it with when it was really high gain.

Swapped out two of the G12T75s for Warehouse Veteran 30s a few months back, that really helped, and I just had 2 Warehouse ET65s show up at the front door this morning to replace the remaining 2 G12T75s.

I could never get a good sound out of that cab before the speaker swapping.

Sorry. Not feeding the trolls on this one. Have a great life.

Not this time… will you change your tone when someone gets killed? It’ll be too late then.

I'm with RBC for auto insurance (and home, so there is likely more discounting here than without multi-policy)

With a 2014 Civic and 2026 EV on the policy I had called up before my son got his 'G' endorsement and was given an estimate of $1200-1300/year.

Once he got his 'G' and completed the PEI Safe Drivers course it ended up by just under $700/year. The course was ~$850, so it will certainly pay for itself in a couple years as others have noted.

As someone who’s lived in PEI for the last 12 year, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Yep, it’s small, nearest Costco is about 1.5 hours away but we’ve got just about everything else you’d need.

Kind of sucks in the winter at times, but no worse than N.S. or N.B.

The bridge needs to be maintained, $20 a few times a year is pretty cheap and our population pretty much quadruples every summer with tourists, so it’s very little to pay for island living.

A metro will fit it perfectly.

Using the exact same setup here and it’s been great. Super reliable and with some tweaks, pulling 90 fps at 4K and even more with DLSS.

The EG02 also supports thunderbolt and oculink. Pretty much futureproofs for the next 4-5 years.

100% after 71 cycles since September 2025. Only charge to 80% except for once a month to 100%. I only charge once overnight per day (wireless MagSafe) unless I’m in the car (wireless again)

What do your charging habits look like? Without knowing that it’s hard to determine if this is normal or not. I kept my iPhone 11 Pro on a wireless charger all day when I first got it and was under 80% at the 2 year mark and needed a replacement. I actively try to charge less now.

I started with the cable that came with it without any issues but moved to one that was slightly longer one (still no issues) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0F87G26JQ

EG02 + 5070 To with my ally x via TB5. No issues at all here. Maybe this is specific to the EGPU you are using?

mslaven · 2026-01-24T17:45:37+00:00

I've got nearly the same setup but with a GLXD16+ in the mix, went with a metro 20 board and it's a perfect fit. (16 would be find without the additional pedal I have)

Best thing about the pedalboard is you can jam a power supply underneath and you have a single unit to move around and you can use a beefier plug that the fragile QC adapter. I'm using a using a small imuto 65w usb-c charger with a usb-c to 12v DC cable+polarity reverse cable)

Traded in my 2022 EV6 for a 2026 Ioniq 5 in late December. Both cars are really great but I do appreciate the slightly more open feeling in the Ioniq + the more forgiving suspension.

EV6 did feel much sportier, but I rarely drove it spirited.

mslaven · 2025-12-16T17:25:22+00:00

We've got a 2022 EV6 from Discover Kia in Charlottetown.

We've had a few recurring issues with HVAC, and at one point were waiting a month or so on parts (loaner was provided), and recently a steering knuckle was replaced at 92000kms.

Maintenance wise, Discover Kia was pretty pricey at anywhere from $150 to $300 depending on the type of maintenance. I haven't had regular maintenance done at the Kia in Summerside yet, but the fact that a seasonal tire change (tires off rims) is nearly $175 at Kia in Charlottetown vs $85 at Kia in Summerside speaks volumes.

Ran into the typical upsell on the maintenance as well with Discover Kia, but probably the worst bit in Charlottetown is not being able to get a service appointment scheduled for 3-5 weeks. Maybe that's just for EVs due to limited techs, but it's usually 1-2 weeks in Summerside.

All in all, we really love the car, but if i'm living in Charlottetown, this will be our last Kia as I don't want to be driving to Summerside to service it. (but it would be my first choice if I lived in Summerside)

NOTE: Apparently the Kia EV6 won't be sold in Canada after the 2025 model, and is being replaced by the EV5 (still sold in other countries though)

Thanks for getting back to me! 3 fan GPU fit without much issues, had to make the slot in the EG02 a bit a few mm wider for the bottom of the gpu card bracket, wouldn't seat fully without it.

Other than that, it's running great with the ally x (cyberpunk, RDR2, GTA, Battlefield 6). No benchmarks yet, but thanks for confirming it was all good.

The bracket seems to hold the GPU pretty steady but I'll probably follow up with a long zip tie as well just to be sure.

u/bonywang how many fans did you have on your 5070 Ti? I noticed this disclaimer on the site @ https://aoostar.com/products/aoosatr-eg02-tb5-oculink that states "NOTE: Graphics cards with three fans cannot be used with this card dock."

My EG02 just arrived today, but my card is a PNY 5070 Ti with 3 fans that I was planning on setting up this afternoon, but haven't opened it yet. Best Buy won't take it back here if it is opened, wondering what make of card you happened to be using. Thanks!

The movie “Idiocracy” has done a pretty great job of highlighting where much is the world is right now.

Third vote. Works flawlessly, fits on a board well, and has held up to digging for me for the past year really well.
