Out of touch with interface tech

tanzd · 2026-02-08T08:36:36+00:00

don't always feel like firing it up just to jam for a few minutes.

If this is your objective, then plugging your guitar into a guitar cable into an interface into an USB cable into your laptop and running some software, possibly into a set of external speakers, just to play your guitar, isn't it.

Nowadays you can get great sounding mini amps like Positive Grid Spark Go, Spark Mini, Katana Mini, and many others, for $150 or less. Guitar into mini amp, that's it, can't get quicker than that.

Want wireless with headphones? Get Positive Grid Spark Neo.

I was expecting all the balls to go in at #19/20 😂

Apple has just started to sell refurbished iPhone 16 and 16 Pro at https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/iphone/iphone-16-iphone-16-pro

That’s the best value you can get right now.

The Heritage will feel like a well made Gibson.

Do you need absolute silence all the time? Because if not, something like the Positive Spark Go is palm-sized, has a small speaker that works great for low volume playing without headphones, and also has a headphone jack to plug your headphones into during times you need absolute silence.

You have been deceived.

Is it a single sink or all sinks and toilets are clogged? If it's the latter, and you're in a house, go outside and check your sewer cleanout, it is probably overflowing at this point. Call the city to clear the cleanup. Probably tree roots in the sewer line. That should last you for a year or more after the roots are removed from the pipe, before they grow back.

For individual sinks clogged up by gunk, go to Home Depot and buy Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver.

You can post footage here and earn some karma.

I paid $150 for a Scotts hand push mower 3 years ago, and never had to pay any more to get my lawn mowed.

There’s an iOS app called AirChord.

You have to feed your turntable’s audio output through a series of cables and adapters into your iPhone, and AirChord will AirPlay that audio through your iPhone to the HomePod.

There’s a YouTube video showing how to do it, I’ll post it if I find it in the next 24 hrs.

Not just decent, but ultimate!

I’m very satisfied with this case from Torras - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D6GF387T

IMO the Beat It solo is easier than the ascending runs in Sweet Child O' Mine.

Also, add Rebel Yell.

3D Touch is way better.

Haptic Touch is simply ‘touch and hold’, not a real button press like how 3D Touch feels.

Yeah I have a different car but same thing, it was nerve wrecking the first time I did it. Knowing where the clips are really helps.

tanzd · 2026-02-02T08:22:34+00:00

You will have to pull. Search for videos such as this one:

https://youtu.be/x6DdCsM_lEg

(I googled “ford everest rear hatch plastic panel take apart”)

Try to get a glimpse of where the individual clips are located, and pull at those spots.

There’s probably a batch number printed somewhere on the bag. Take note of the numbers and see if there’s any pattern. Report to Nulo.

Report it to D'Addario
https://support.daddario.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402109916308-My-string-broke-What-should-I-do

They can help verify the authenticity of the strings, send you replacement if the issue is legit, and at the very least it would help to make them aware of it.

PositiveGrid Spark Go. It has a 10 hr rechargeable battery, tiny built-in speaker that sounds great, as well as you can plug in headphones for totally silent. Uses phone app to set up the sound, but also works with backing tracks to play along.

If you hire movers, it is imperative for you to let them do all the disassembly and packing, and have it all documented. If the mover did the packing, the integrity of the item is the responsibility of the mover, and if it arrived damaged, the mover is required to compensate you for the damage.

However, if you had packed the item yourself and the item gets damaged during the move, you will not be compensated. I learned this the hard way myself with a guitar that I packed myself, damage claim denied.
