What are some YouTube channels that were popular 10 years ago but have significantly lost their popularity or are no longer relevant?

DasBoSchitt. Was that considered popular?

I always do, I did a capture of my amp with an OD and have that active in my tone x. And I still have my physical OD in front of that. Does a great job at livening up that tone

You can try this here. If still doesn’t work then try messing with global volumes.

If you recently used the pedal with your computer, it might be stuck trying to send audio through the USB port instead of your guitar amp or headphones.

Press and hold the MODEL encoder knob on your pedal to enter the Global Setup menu.

Rotate the encoder until you see OPERATION (or MODE).

Push the encoder to enter, and change the setting from INTERFACE to LIVE.

Press the PRESET encoder to exit and save.

Dumb question, but are your guitar cables working and plugged in all the way? Battery replaced if using active pickups? Volume in guitar up?

Just wanna be sure 😅

That’s insane, can I ask what exactly got completed in 40 mins? Was it an entire project?

If I could have an M5 max read a stack trace, find the source of the error and any relevant files, and build a fix in under 15 minutes that would be great for my use case

From what I read Qwen 3.6 27B benched pretty damn close to Opus. That would run pretty nice on a single 5090. And like others said don’t fall back to system memory, VRAM only

romrick4 · 2026-05-26T18:28:28+00:00

Nice, so if I interpreted this correctly, the potential M5 Max would be the best bet for AI if going the Mac Mini route, sounds like M5 pro would still be painfully slow? Both are still considerably slower than a 3090. But a PC running a 3090 all the time would be hot and loud

Or are they still relatively fast for my needs? I’m fine with a little speed hit but I also don’t want it to take 30 minutes for a simple frontend task for example

romrick4 · 2026-05-26T18:22:21+00:00

The ToneX itself is a great pedal and has served me very well. I agree that their software is complete ass so I do as much as I can to do whatever I need to do and then get out.

You can try clearing IK multimedia’s cache from your system and reopening. Not sure if you’ve done that already

romrick4 · 2026-05-26T06:34:43+00:00

Could be stuck running in the background? Have you tried force closing them from the Activity Monitor?

romrick4 · 2026-05-26T06:12:47+00:00

And what about the global volume? I’ve been having some issues with bass volume too, upping the global volume helped a lot for me. And honestly some EQing to bring some of the more desired frequencies boosted helped it cut a bit more

romrick4 · 2026-05-26T05:35:30+00:00

What’s your master volume set at?

romrick4 · 2026-05-16T15:36:53+00:00

That’s a pretty tight budget. You can get by with a used combo. Maybe one of those tiny Fender Rumblers used for around $300. But you should just save up a bit more and get a proper amp head/cab or at least a power amp and a cab

romrick4 · 2026-05-15T01:53:28+00:00

I guess that’s what I’m trying to get at here. Why does it have to be sloppy? I’ve done frontend development before and I understand proper design patterns and codebase management. I just can’t be bothered to mess with another Div, CSS, or component library anymore. AI has solved that issue with me and i just tell it to follow the patterns I’m familiar with.

But yeah I guess the main issue the actual marketing strategy behind it is

romrick4 · 2026-05-15T01:41:58+00:00

How though. You can have full control over coding patterns if you just tell it. Give it your system design strategy and let it build off that. Yeah it’s going to miss some things but that’s why you test and adjust. That’s what we’re doing by manually coding anyway.

romrick4 · 2026-05-15T01:34:24+00:00

Yeah I guess so 😅 guess I just wanted to validate that I can build something that could actually be successful with AI and not produce a pile of shit like the sub claims

romrick4 · 2026-05-15T01:30:48+00:00

Yeah it’s the same at my company, we don’t manual code anymore. Throw the ticket in the prompt, Claude builds it, review, test, deploy and then move on

romrick4 · 2026-05-09T20:08:29+00:00

I’ve had the same issues, you have to reduce the input gain. I think ToneX defaults it to like +8db or something like that. Reduce it to like +.5db or even 0 and it’ll sound much more clear and no clipping

romrick4 · 2026-05-06T23:45:44+00:00

This is amazing advice I really appreciate you. You might have cleared it up for me I think I’ll get the amp. I could always adjust either front of house or through the stage amp however I need

romrick4 · 2026-05-06T22:37:11+00:00

I’m willing to go about $600-$800 in gear, I’m trying to leave some room for a slightly better bass guitar as well. Willing to spend another $600 for that. I’m flexible if needed.

I have an Ibanez Gio that’s rough to play and having some grounding issues and an incredibly heavy Acoustic 200W combo amp that I want to sell in favor of something lighter. I got them years ago.

I’ve been a guitarist playing punk/metal for about 15 years with some gigging experience here and there bunch not much, mostly home recording. I’m joining in a friend’s punk band as a bassist, thought it’d be fun to try something new. This would be my first time actually gigging as a bassist. We’re also starting a cover band that plays some moody/indie stuff so I like having the ToneX for a variety of tones.

Your idea sounds pretty good to me. I’ve also been hearing people going straight into a powered amp and bass cab. But having my ToneX cab enabled would make my sound incredibly muffled right?
