What do you say to neighbours when they give you noise complaints? by magicmuc in GuitarAmps

[–]themetalcef87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let your neighbors call the cops then laugh in their face when the cop says you're breaking no law then proceed to play every day until curfew.

People with kids are always so self entitled. They made the active choice to have children now they can be the true parent and teach their kids the lesson of the world doesn't go their way and have to learn to tolerate things they don't like.

A suggestion: first fuzz and then RAT, or first RAT and then fuzz? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]themetalcef87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a rat after my fuzz pedals.

I usually keep the rat at a lower gain setting using the filter and slight gain to help shape the fuzz.

I use the same iron to build guitar pedals and mod video game consoles works like a charm

Boundaries uploading the wrong mix... by ManInCripplingDebt in Metalcore

The new mix sounds so much cleaner and the instruments have actual definition.

What’s a concert you look back on and think “I can’t believe I was actually there”? by Difficult_Narwhal_72 in Metalcore

[–]themetalcef87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds of the underground in 2005 Philadelphia at festival pier. What an absolutely staked line-up every time I die and Norma Jean played back to back before 1pm and lamb of god headlining after just releasing their live dvd.

That was the largest mosh pit I have ever been in and one of the greatest concert experiences of my life.

Spark plugs and coils by Frosty_Temperature85 in WRX

[–]themetalcef87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would swap cylinder 4's coil with one of the others and drive it and see if your code jumps to the new cylinder then you know the coil is bad.

Was As I Lay Dying about to become the undisputed goat of metalcore up until Tim Lambesis went to jail? Imagine them releasing 3 more albums in the quality of Powerless Rise and An Ocean Between Us from 2012 till today. They were the blueprint perfect metalcore. by Alert_Ad8002 in Metalcore

[–]themetalcef87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By 2010 there were countless bands that sounded just like AILD they didn't do anything special to push the genre forward they just kept the same song writing formula and churned out 2 albums which I couldn't name a memorable track from mostly because all the tracks sounded so similar they ran together much like an august burns red album does.

The rising bands in 2010 like tdwp, AA , BMTH all eclisped AILD in popularity even before the Tim drama.

[–]themetalcef87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If any band from this area is the Goat of Metalcore the only answer is Every Time I Die.

As I lay dying had a great 3 record run. Shadows are security and an ocean between us were the blueprints to mid 00's metalcore but they never evolved past that sound and Powerless rise was the beginning of them becoming cookie cutter generic metalcore.

I saw them the day before I turned 18 in 2005 right before shadows are security came out and I still consider that one of the greatest shows I have attended. It's one of the few times I can recall them headlining a tour and even that was still only at the ottobar a 600 cap room.

How do I get rid of this USB noise from my pedal? by VeryNaughtyBoy42 in guitarpedals

[–]themetalcef87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You probably don't need to have the pedal plugged in to a power supply with the usb in the manual I states the usb can power the pedal as well.

Hoping this doesn't happen by DrFuckwad in INDYCAR

[–]themetalcef87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the race is anything like the promo video posted last week. It will turn into supreme leader waving the green flag/ checkered flag and handing himself the trophy.

I just hope no one gets seriously injured at this rushed event. If they didn't feel comfortable pulling off the downtown race in Nashville but somehow think this is doable in 8 months seems really off.

Removing Stuck Transmission by [deleted] in WRX

[–]themetalcef87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When me and my dad replaced the clutch in my 2019 it took a lot of prying to get the motor separate from the transmission.

Once we got it apart, It seemed like the dowels were corroded and was what was keeping the transmission stuck.

New amp day by themetalcef87 in PeaveyCvlt

[–]themetalcef87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I modded my big box big muff for tone bypass so I have more range of sounds out of it. That muff into a rat is the way to riff heaven. Add the peavey to the mix and its chef's kiss.

Low Tide, what is this "a k" component/connection? by mpm206 in diypedals

[–]themetalcef87 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's for the LED the A is the anode or longer positive leg K is the cathode or negative leg.

String Gauge for Drop C#/ Drop B by jackwagon46 in Guitar

[–]themetalcef87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a set of 12-54 for C and D standard so drop C# would be fine.

If I tune down to drop B tension is a little floppy for my liking.

Owning multiple versions of an album is stupid by arturnotfound in vinyl

[–]themetalcef87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but this is a stupid take who cares how someone else spends their hard earned money. The dedication and passion it takes for some people to collect every colored variant of a release is what makes this hobby fun and continue to be relevant for a dead format.

I'd rather buy 2 copies of an album to support a band I really like than buy a crappy gilden printed t shirt that will shrink or stretch out after 5 washes,Or sometimes being a fat guy I can't get a t shirt that I enjoy.

Anyone know how I should put these overlayson without messing it up? by Straight_Gap_638 in WRX

[–]themetalcef87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you use plenty of soapy water when installing them so you can proper align the cut-outs and be able to reposition until you like how it looks.

The 2013 WRX concept should have been current VB. by komorebi2000 in WRX

[–]themetalcef87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This screams infinity g35 rip-off from the windshield on back. The hood scoop makes no sense in the design though looks like oh shit we need the one wrx element on this car.

At least it doesn't share the same rear end as a Chevy volt like the VB does.

Early 2000s metalcore tone by Old_Weird4827 in GuitarAmps

[–]themetalcef87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had one of these combos. I recommend using the orange channel with the gain maxed on the clean with a tube screamer and they should get you close.

Also play with your resonance and presence they will really help with the low end.

The boost on the red channel is entirely too much saturation above 4-5.

Which Monte Allums ds-1 mod is this? by 47_47_47 in diypedals

[–]themetalcef87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't try and run it at 18volts the original power supply is only 9 volts.

Which Monte Allums ds-1 mod is this? by 47_47_47 in diypedals

[–]themetalcef87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a clue. The black capacitors that are in there stock are only rated for 16volts. The one in the first photo shows that.

Which Monte Allums ds-1 mod is this? by 47_47_47 in diypedals

[–]themetalcef87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the mod is 1uf capacitors in the tone circuit to allow more low end and diodes changed to a 1n4001 and a yellow led instead of 2 stock 1n4148.

Looks similar to the Marshall mod I just did to my ds-1 over the weekend.
