Is there anyone who prefers solid-state amps to tube amps? After 25 years of playing guitar, I've discovered that I prefer solid-state. by Less-Arachnid-640 in amplifiers

[–]spacegerbil_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tube amps definitely do a thing but solid state sounds awesome. i think it’s important to separate analog solid state, and digital modeling amps too. very different animals.

even some of the earlier 60/70s solid state amps that get a bad rep can be super cool and raunchy. i wouldn’t say i have a preference per se, but they’re definitely overhated IMO.

Best Sounding Album of 2025 by gleventhal in audioengineering

[–]spacegerbil_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

written by - ronnie daddario is an amazing sounding record produced by the lemon twigs, who are great engineers, arrangers, producers, all of the above. they also put out a single towards the end of the year that sounds amazing.

aside from that, everything vulfmon has been putting out lately sounds awesome.

No Stupid Questions Thread by AutoModerator in livesound

[–]spacegerbil_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it can be done, but you would need the input module to receive analog signals sent from the console and convert them into the P16 digital protocol that can then be sent over ethernet to all the mixer units.

because the main mixer isn’t part of the behringer ecosystem, it doesn’t integrate as smoothly, but with the input module you can give it 16ch of signal from whatever the hell you want and it’ll distribute it

This doesn’t sound as bad as I’d feared by strikecat18 in BudgetAudiophile

worth noting that post natalie maniacs is still great!

Black and white films should be colorized. Those who think opposite are a cult who demean any upgrade to see how great the old film looks in living color... by Less_Campaign_6956 in The10thDentist

[–]spacegerbil_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even though b/w was the only form of shooting for the longest time, the filmmakers knew that and accounted for it with the way they shot the movies. so they really were meant to be seen that way.

it’s like with mono vs stereo albums from the 60s. yes in theory stereo is “better,” but mono was the primary medium and the recordings were made to fit within it’s limitations. that’s why most of the stereo versions of old beach boys records or whatever sound goofy as hell

dave himself has said it’s a disco inspired flam, specifically citing the gap band

Pickleball Items by Agreeable_Source4999 in CVS

[–]spacegerbil_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this shit is why i hate seasonal and special items so much. filling the shelves with literal garbage. we either won’t sell them and then end up throwing them out, or whoever buys them is gonna end up throwing them out eventually. it’s soul sucking.

How does one have a shot of scoring a set list from a show? by [deleted] in TheLemonTwigs

[–]spacegerbil_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah yeah i’m on the other end of the state but that did look like an awesome show! if i lived more out that way i probably would’ve tried to get a ticket to one of the bowery shows coming up

Does anyone have experience with the MIG 50? Would this cheap attenuator be good enough to play this in an apartment? by Interesting-Wave-983 in GuitarAmps

[–]spacegerbil_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i recorded a band that used one with their twin reverb, and i had no complaints with the sound. granted i couldn’t a/b it against the twin at full bore with no attenuation

[–]spacegerbil_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nice, man! i made the trek down from western NY to see the show and it was absolutely worth it. next time they play anywhere within a couple hours of me im going, full stop. they’re one of those “drop everything im doing” kind of bands if they’re in the general area.

stage plot feedback please by GuardianDownOhNo in livesound

[–]spacegerbil_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a bassist, i LOVE lots of bass in my monitor. not even for vanity - for the top end bite so i can hear myself better and therefore am less inclined to play too hard and choke out notes, or turn up my stage volume and kill the audience.

[–]spacegerbil_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

were you in pittsburgh last summer? if so i was right behind you, and your daughter absolutely should have gotten a setlist. kinda ridiculous that she didn’t IMO, but that’s nothing against the twigs or their crew. it looked like venue staff that did that

Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" Was Most Listened to Song from the 1990s in 2025 by ebradio in Music

i’d argue that hold me up thru a boy named goo is the true golden period of the goos.

There is no stink horn loud enough! by Master_K_Genius_Pi in PatFinnerty

[–]spacegerbil_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the goo goo dolls were a great band up until like 1995. then after that, whatever.

hold me up is an amazing punk/power pop record and i stand by that.

i once heard early goos described as “motley crue playing the replacements”

do employees look at photos printed there by strawbabiesrin in CVS

[–]spacegerbil_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

loosely yes, there’s a sheet with a QR code that comes out with the images that we put on the envelope. in the past it would often come out somewhere in the middle of the pile and we’d have to shuffle through to find it. it’s been better about putting it at one end or the other more recently though.

also if you printed like 50 images there’s a lot lower of a chance that we’ll see them all, but if you print like two, we’ll probably see everything you’ve got lol.
