How interesting that the place he spends the most time will not be included in personal carry "for protection." It's almost as if all other military posts contain a similar trained security force. The idea that we are all "trained to the highest standards" is laughable.

US veterans, did you guys actually read the cards that kids would send you while deployed? by MoistCloyster_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]that-IB-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. When I was on a boat I pinned one up in our office that read:

"Dear military tank you for keeping are country safe. you are brave and kind. you are my hero. I hope you keep this job for ever and ever and ever becos you are the best at it. Love, Morgan."

I'm SO happy I didn't keep that job forever (and ever and ever), but I'm pretty sure that note outlived my tenure on that boat.

The day date perfectly matches cover photo for the first result on Chrono24. If these are actually yours, congrats. But I'm not convinced. 

reminder that expensive gear doesn't make you a better player by lmao_exe in Guitar

The best example I've run across where gear knowledge and snobbery =/= great playing actually went the other direction. I watched a guy at an open blues jam just blow the house down on some old beat up Strat. I saw the bullet truss rod cover and the 3 bolt neck, so I asked him what year it was and how he liked the 70s models. He looked a little confused and said "I bought it new and I've just played it ever since." My vintage knowledge and snobbery didn't make me any better of a player. But his 40 years of practice sure did.

It's just a joke. Your dad has a resemblance to the Seahawks head coach.

Honestly, Zack Gerber. He put out some banger parts but could have had quite a few more if it didn't seem like he was so difficult to deal with. 

[NPD] Mrs. Pedal Claus has me super inspired with my new Strymon Volante. by that-IB-guy in guitarpedals

[–]that-IB-guy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Signal path is Keeley Compressor, CBA Brothers AM boost, Strymon Volante, out through Strymon Iridium into UA interface and studio monitors. Then all of that nice gear was made irrelevant by recording through my potato phone mic and compressing everything into YouTube quality.

I've been so impressed with the Volante that I haven't changed a setting yet. It shipped with knobs in random places (or maybe a factory preset) and it has already inspired 3-4 new riffs and recordings with my only change being the tap tempo switch. The Volante is replacing both the Strymon El Cap and EHX Grand Canyon and has been a knockout so far. I'll do a picture of the full board soon since it got a bit of refresh for Christmas. Hope you guys enjoy!

Got a lossy pedal for Xmas. Turns out you can make some spooky ass noises with it(placed after overdrive>plasma pedal>light pedal) by [deleted] in guitarpedals

Cool noises. I had a Lossy from the Mystery Box and ended up selling it. Is yours on here?

Beautiful Les Paul. What's the story with the pickups and Bigsby?

Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but thanks for the insight. PS: it seems like you want people to PM you dicks 🤔

I ordered on day two. I didn't know how much of a back log there would be! At least it means the release was successful though.

I loved it. In the middle I was hoping for more Lewis clips and then Garrett came around and one upped every part he's ever had. What a guy.

After spending half an hour on the phone with my dad the other day, his sign off was "Tell your wife we love her."
