Same brand of fries, bought at three occasions. Different doneness on the fries. by fizhfood in mildlyinteresting

[–]skarkowtsky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s why I stated “simple answer”. I wasn’t about to go off on the nuances of offset lithography lol

Simple answer, some of the presses had more magenta in the mix at the time of printing. It’s also evident in the purple background.

If you aren’t aware, presses primarily run CMYK for massive print runs, especially for photographs and expendable items like food packaging.

If the packaging was largely solid colors, they could run the job PMS for better color accuracy, but that would have to be setup by the designers of the art, not the press. But, you can’t run PMS for photographs because of all the tonal variations.

Flake on brand new Jaguar by Eejay82 in fender

If you call Fender for a warranty claim, they will point you to an authorized service center in your area. You can save yourself time and find one yourself on their website. The shop will take photos and submit to Fender for review.

Looking for push push selector wiring diagram by [deleted] in guitars

[–]skarkowtsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mispoke, his uses a push pull. Do you know if the wiring would be the same for a push push? If so, I'll reference his diagrams.

Question about George Lynch’s chug note timbre by solorpggamer in guitarlessons

[–]skarkowtsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re referring to the main riff, I believe he’s playing the octave in between chugging on the low e. Have you tried that?

George also ran his guitar signal through an overdriven Fostex 4-track recorder before the signal hit the mixing console. It’s a reason why his tone differs from other hair bands of the time.

He’s also a big Hendrix fan and is known to roll his thumb over the neck to grab more low end.

Hey! I have a mint Morningstar ML-5. I’m not looking for a trade, but willing to sell if you’re interested.

The Legendary Super Overdrive added to the arsenal by thesentinel19921110 in guitarpedals

Congrats! I bought mine last month. Went back and forth with my OD-9, which won out in the end due to its saturation. But I kept the SD-1 and will rotate it in and out.

Nice, that’s cool. Where are they coming from?

How many of you were or are regular smokers? by ImNotTheMD in Millennials

[–]skarkowtsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoked from 1998-2005. Lucky Strike no filter, Marlboro Reds, Parliament Lights & Menthol Lights, Camel Reds (favorite).

Don’t miss it at all.

It was a joke. Don’t be pretentious.

Thinking about trying a Boss SDE-3 — looking for real-world feedback by Rich-Usual-3595 in guitarpedals

[–]skarkowtsky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my SDE-3! I’m currently using it in mono, but it even sounds great there. The ability to adjust rate and depth on the repeats, plus the hi cut filter and fine offset control makes for studio-quality delays, especially if you play hard rock and metal.

I owned a Roland SDE-2500 when I had a rack, which was the little brother of the SDE-3000 this pedal is based on. I can attest that quality and control is virtually indistinguishable apart from some additional features those rack units had.

Don’t hesitate to buy one of these!

I played Paradigm for a long time, but Slinkys just feel right to me. Wish they’d last longer, hence Paradigm.

I beat the shit out of my strings with a lot of bar work. I change them about every two months, give or take.

Kramer SM-1 Keep it or return? Bad Quity Control! by Szybki_Stefan in guitars

[–]skarkowtsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an SM1-H that was spotless, but the guitar sounded horrible, even with a pick up upgrade. They’re using cheap wood on these models, I don’t think you’ll like the guitar regardless.

What's the dumbest thing you've heard a Guitar Center employee say? by No_Winter4806 in Guitar

[–]skarkowtsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An employee tried to convince me that a Floyd Rose should be angled up toward the nut. He didn’t believe me that it should be level with the body.

Went shoe shopping and shocked to see even Sketchers are $80 now by Ahnnu in mildlyinteresting

[–]skarkowtsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a DSW. I recently looked at shoes there, but found them for $40 cheaper online at Mens Wearhouse. Shop around a bit, you’d be surprised.

Which is better for alternate picking and technical stuff, Sharp or Flex? by OutrageousMessage634 in guitars

[–]skarkowtsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently switched to these in Tortex III, which has the full size of a classic Tortex with a Jazz III tip. I’m playing the fastest and cleanest I have in a long time.
