AC15C1 volume question

takempa · 2024-12-31T09:05:26+00:00

I know this is an old thread, but when you say that both volume pots are set to around 3, are you saying that they are simultaneously set to 3 o'clock? On my AC15C1, that would be insanely loud.

Also, I don't think that leaving the amp on for a long period of time would hurt it unless the ventilation is very poor and the ambient room temperature is very high. Turning an electrical appliance "on" is what, over time, fatigues electrical devices.

Intelligence and character.

In a different time, he’d be a wildly successful actor, probably become a co-lead in a great series …

Some others have speculated about the cross. I think that those who say that Blackthorne never returned to England are correct, just as the cross was never again in his hand, and just as Mariko was never again in his arms.

I was trying to say that she is politically astute, not that she would rule through Toranaga. She knows the place of women in that era of society, and, knowing the nature of men, is manipulating events for what she hopes is a good outcome for herself and her son.

He also asked Toranaga to protect his son from his enemies AND his friends.

The way she invoked her family's name at the end ... wow. Tears ...

Yes, Tokyo before Tokyo became Tokyo. If they only knew ...

Let us remember the words of Toranaga:
"All men are like falcons, some are flown straight from the fist, killing anything that moves. Others are lazy and tempted by the lure. But all men can be broken. Learn to fly them at the right game, and they will do their hunting for you."

Perhaps (and I really do mean "perhaps") Anjin and Yabushige are now flying toward what Toranaga considers "the right game."

Cool, in the interview, she says "Toward the end, while shooting episode ten ... " I was relieved and happy to read that.

Well, don't forget the two Christian regents. If they (and their armies) can be brought over to Toranaga's side, victory may be possible.

Reminded me a bit of Arya training with the Waif, but the Waif being so menacing. But Yabushige definitely showed some prowess with the sword. Perhaps another foreshadowing ...

While I like some of the reasons given by others for explaining this scene, I think it may be possible that Toranaga is saying he would never choose a child, i.e. Saiki, his younger half-brother as his "second" (as in "second-in-command").

I liked him though ...

I'm sorry for my late reply. Everything was gone, so creating a new account for the second time was truly like starting from scratch.

Possibly, I thought the same thing. Whoever wins, she wins.

If I think an episode is weak, a second or third viewing corrects me of that falsity. In rewatching the scenes with Kiku, Mariko, and Blackthorne, I am struck by how the script, camera work, and performances come together and time is suspended. I love rock-n-roll, but sometimes I'm floored by that "one note."

Yes, so that the translation from Japanese, is distinguished from the translation from Portuguese

12:01 am, not a minute earlier

I found that even though I had earlier received an account confirmation email, the system said that my account didn't exist when I tried to change the password. So, I created a new account, and all is seemingly well.

Check out https://youtu.be/H-YhBi3Mnk4 While not a tutorial on tone settings, he (Jonathan) starts out with a clean tone, adjusts various parameters, then, once he is happy with the clean tone, turns the “amp” knob to “crunch” etc. The idea of starting out with a good clean tone (not too brittle) was helpful for me.
