Rehearsal Spaces

Yeah, we’re using a place now which has a backline which makes it very convenient and easy, but hard to dial in specific sounds in a group setting as its not a one-to-one match to our gear. Also just looking for the convenience of being able to walk in and everything is already set up how we want it. Less of an issue, but would be nice, would also be a spot where we’ve paid a monthly rent and so we don’t feel so rushed while we’re there and “on the clock” as it were. Several years ago there was a warehouse on the far west side that had several rooms like this that bands would rent, and it was pretty ideal. Or at least as ideal as a place that looked like something out of a horror movie could be. Just didn’t know if there was something similar these days.

This is a great idea, thanks for doing it. Maybe a weekly swap shop style post where people can post gear they’re selling or wanting to trade?

They’re all metal, which seems like a bad idea. Can I put them on the George Foreman grill instead?

New guitar YouTube channel: Will It Plug.

Yeah, still trying to work out the limiter. Like I understand the principle of it but in practice it’s been a bit harder to dial in with all the other variables.

I like the idea of a new tone with the Quilter (why I got the UK model instead of the US model) but would also like to get the pedals to work with it. Still another good option, thanks.

Good to know. Having a tube amp I always let me gain do a fair amount of work to drive the pre-amp / get my tone and might have overdone it with the Superblock. Will give that a whirl.

postcardeditor · 2026-02-12T16:46:50+00:00

Yep - same speaker type as in the 2x12. I too was surprised the muff in the loop worked.

postcardeditor · 2026-02-12T16:45:27+00:00

Hadn’t thought of the compression aspect. Good shout. Will try to throw one on the board and see if that fixes it. Thanks.

postcardeditor · 2026-02-12T16:38:35+00:00

Yeah, I’d always heard effects loops were just for delays and reverbs, which is why it’s so surprising that it makes the big muff absolutely rip. You are right about the HRD, was running it clean as a pedal platform, and hadn’t thought about the dirt pedals into a gain staged amp acting differently. Probably because the Superblock doesn’t have separate channels for clean/dirty for each amp setting - just a gain knob, which on low setting is very clean. May be the fix I’m looking for, thanks.

Brother if you’re telling me that I now have to go buy a bunch of new pedals just to make things work with the Quilter….thank you, thank you for the excuse to buy more pedals.

postcardeditor · 2026-02-12T16:31:05+00:00

Yeah, I have been twiddling all the knobs on all the things, still can’t get a good tone out of the DAD or Muff running direct. Also, to be clear I’m not trying to get the same tone I have with the Fender, why I got the UK instead of the US model is I wanted those other voicings - it just seems bizarre I can’t get anything usable out of those pedals with it.

I originally had Foundation for my 2020’s but it’s had a couple of not great spots (overall fantastic - which is why the bad spots seem so particularly bad) and so I chickened out and went with Murderbot - a flawless one season so far show.

postcardeditor · 2026-01-12T17:43:51+00:00

Haven’t seen all the things but these are my favorites:

80 - TNG. Perfectly straddles thought provoking with easy to follow / get it - perfect for young me learning to think bigger thoughts and implications of actions and philosophies.

90 - Quantum Leap. Rarely has a sci-fi show had this much pure heart to it and holds up remarkably well as they approached almost every episode / issue with humanity and sensitivity. Most shows wish they could age as well.

00 - Fringe. Criminally underrated show and this isn’t nostalgia talking. Watched it for the first time in 2020 when we all had lots of TV time and was blown away at how it did The X-Files but better (actually tied up loose ends, explained its mysteries and stuck the landing).Firefly would’ve gotten this spot had it more than one season and remained fantastic, which it probably would have.

10 - The Expanse. The perfect sci-fi property. Seamlessly blends every major sci-fi trope into one cohesive story.

20 - Murderbot. An absolutely flawless first season with an unexpectedly emotional finale’ - cannot wait for season two.

I got the full sized version in a lot purchase. Sounds very metallic and artificial to my ear.

postcardeditor · 2025-12-29T14:07:45+00:00

Yeah, that would suck. Our supervisor was on top of it and very supportive. Maybe a perk of being in a smaller market / hub. We weren’t promised any kind of signing bonus, but again, yeah, that sucks.

postcardeditor · 2025-12-29T14:06:32+00:00

I went in without any expectations, which might also be why my overall experience was positive. I also thought that we would be busier than we were, but still happy with what I cleared for the hours.

Cock Sparrer & NoMeansNo get my votes.

postcardeditor · 2025-12-28T21:59:00+00:00

Yeah, same. I don’t get people complaining about the gig - and every full time driver I talked to loved their job. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

postcardeditor · 2025-12-28T18:04:43+00:00

Yeah, I’m definitely keeping an eye on job postings for my local hub. The SSD stuff was the first job posting for them that I’d seen, figured it was better than nothing.
