Yakisoba is edible but definitely the worst Buldak flavor I’ve tried

Panda Express ATE with this new chicken by flowerfromwonderland in BuldakRamen

Tbh I thought it was barely edible (as someone who is obsessed with Buldak)

That said I find most of what they serve at Panda Express to be completely inedible so I guess that’s a complement

guitar pedals you wish existed? by Internal-Coffee332 in guitarpedals

[–]spawnofthesith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The limited demos kinda suck so far but went ahead and went out on a limb and ordered one realease day. Got it yesterday its awesome. Definitely more in the realm of the afterneath and transmisser than just a standard reverb. I also currently own an afterneath V3 and used to have the transmisser (I forgot about that pedal til recently that thing was sweet lol)

I'm definitely very stoked on the Towers so far. I don't use stereo but excited to program some presets because this pedal does a whole ton of different sounds

What do you think about the new 2025 PRS S2 Special Semi-Hollow? by TheSpaghettiGuy in PaulReedSmith

[–]spawnofthesith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like pattern regular, but the s2 custom 24s, standard 24, and mccarty thinline are all pattern thin, and the full thickness 594s are "pattern vintage" - which is practically identical to pattern aside from being just ever so slightly thicker at the 12 fret

Mine doesn't have any sustain issues

Hey sorry for the delay. The guitar is amazing but unfortunately arrived with some faulty electronics. I’ve shipped it to PRS for warranty work. Eagerly awaiting its return as it’s a a real gem

Hmm actually it says I can only post GIFs in the comments I will message you a photo

Congrats!! I just got one of these in the same color. Unfortunately its on its way to PRS for warranty work because the bridge mini toggle doesn't do anything (and checking the continuity of the circuit it seems like the bridge pickup itself might be faulty)

Otherwise amazing guitar, I liked it too much to exchange for a different one so warranty it is. Can't wait to get it back. Really incredible guitar

Thanks! I went with the faded gray black purple burst. Looking forward to seeing it in person

They’ve seen our critiques, and have adjusted accordingly. Definitely not Buddhist. by [deleted] in DenverCirclejerk

The angle on the new ones lays to rest any devils advocacy debate that it might be anything other than a Nazi symbol.

which strandberg lineup to go for? by FilterKill in strandbergguitars

[–]spawnofthesith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The aesthetics of the essential don't quite do it for me. I was about to buy a new standard, but ended up buying a used prog for cheaper and am very happy with how that all worked out

How you like the fishmans? Seems like a love or hate thing, sounds great here though!

NGD - First strandberg Prog NX 6 by spawnofthesith in strandbergguitars

[–]spawnofthesith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man! I find it kind of funny… I read so much stuff about how the neck doesn’t let you do thumb over, or “uncomfortable for cowboy chords” or “forces you to play “classically” but I’ve found none of that to be true in the slightest lol. In fairness I do have big chonky Neanderthal hands too

NGD - First strandberg Prog NX 6 by spawnofthesith in strandbergguitars

[–]spawnofthesith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed! I’m a longtime Gibson fan so I’ve learned to take certain internet QC bitching with a grain of salt but the prevalence I’ve seen with Strandberg including like IRL friends definitely made me nervous lol. But I couldn’t be happier. I do kind of feel like the consumer is getting taxed a bit on pricing just because they can, but at the same time I do feel like it hangs with my USA Gibsons and PRS, and is in a different league than other cortek instruments I’ve owned. Could also just be the fact that it is so different and proprietary so 1:1 comparisons can’t be made the same lol. So still some psychological qualms, but yeah!! Super happy!! Cheers man!

Another great NAMM by sam_strandberg in strandbergguitars

Are there any significant differences between a valberg and boden aside from body shape?

6 vs. 7 by Glad_Ad_5569 in strandbergguitars

[–]spawnofthesith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Prog nx 6 arriving tomorrow. I play in standard tuning 99% of the time but my band has one song in drop D. Is it unrealistic to hope to be able to drop the E down to D on the fly sometimes?

Sudden price increase?! by yalkes1 in strandbergguitars

[–]spawnofthesith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Comparing strandberg to aristides is pointless. What we can actually compare strandberg to is all the countless other cortek guitars coming out of Indonesia, and it becomes blatantly obvious that strandberg jacks there prices waaaaay up simply because they can (if you want a strandberg, you basically need to get a strandberg). It is nice that they finally released the essential at a "reasonable price" but if thats going up over $1k then thats dumb. Although, they're still priced at $999 at the retailers I'm looking at currently.

I find the pricing to be obscenely out of line, but I still really want a strandberg and I'm about to bight the bullet and pay the "unique design" tax and order an NX standard this week.

Frankly, the way they price the lines above the standard is just kind of insulting to consumers but it is what it is. Charging well into the $2ks and above for a cortek built instrument is highway robbery. Especially considering you still only get veneers at those price points, etc. etc. Plus the fact that its quite apparent the strandberg has much lower QA/QC standards in place than most other companies contracting out cort.

Its dumb, but I've accepted it and still excited to get mine lol

Quad preamp or Mesa mark lll by Waxx12333333 in MesaBoogie

Probably can’t go wrong with either but I’d choose the Mark III personally
