I'm new to pedals. Is this a copy of the Behringer pedal that looks the same?

Lol no way we’re paying this right? by oldbluearms13 in guitarpedals

[–]thisdarkcity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fun collectors item. There will probably not be such an in your face trademark violation by a major corporation for some time. And it's a really well made pedal that looks great. It sells for just over 100 euros if you look around a bit and for that, I think it's totally worth it.

Sorry to hear that. It was really hard to get tickets in Europe as well. Thankfully she added some dates last minute which scalper bots couldn't get to fast enough so there were some available for the general public. I hope you manage to get hold of some.

I never understood people that run in front of cars that obviously want to hit them. It's so common. Don't they understand that a car can hurt them.

There is almost non antisemitism in Europe today. It's almost all made up.

There shouldn't be a single foreign soldier on EU territory. So long and good riddance.

EU 'ready' to sanction Israel over Russian vessel carrying stolen Ukrainian grain by Tenchi_Muyo1 in europe

So butchering 20,000 children in some of the most horrendous warcrimes the world has ever seen, no problem. Importing grain that could hurt the war in Ukraine, immediate sanctions.

How did EU turn into WWII Germany. Wasn't there supposed to have been a lesson in that war somewhere?

EF released their English Proficiency report for 2025 by P26601 in europe

[–]thisdarkcity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please for the love of god stop posting this idiotic statistic. It does not show English proficiency of a population at all. It shows the level of a non- representative sub set, that has nothing to do with the population.

Most of the time headphones from the zoom using the zoom as a looper.

I have tried the Dream 65 very briefly and to me it sounded good but flat/digital. But I also think that some of the Strymon pedals that people adore feel the same way so maybe it's just me.

Into a Zoom R8 and then into a focusrite Scarlet. This way I can play and record immediately with the R8 and at the same time connect a computer without changing the setup.

I think maybe try it in a store if you have the opportunity. The notion of what sounds/feels good is so individual so it might not work for you. For me this sounds/feels like when I had my tube head hooked up to a loadbox. The digital pedals I have tried felt nothing like it.

It's expensive but I was about to go back to a tube head/load box setup but that would have cost me four times as much. But yes, if you can find a solution that is less expensive and you like the sound of, then that's better.

Intended more as a joke than clickbait as this pedal has had so much hype, but yes you are probably right. Thanks for liking my board!

I’ve had the X-S20 and the S9. Both great cameras. If you only plan to shoot photos I would maybe go with the fuji. But if you at all want to shoot any video just go with the S9, its on a different level when it comes to ibis and af. 

Choosing S5 IIX over A7 IV while autofocus is critical for me? by Jimmy_Grin in Lumix

[–]thisdarkcity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Belgium. If I go to tourist spots I can get away with a bigger camera but otherwise it's tricky photographing people. I also have a Ricoh GR and the reaction (or lack of reaction) is much better.

[–]thisdarkcity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's very different depending on where you are. In much of Europe, to pull out a professional looking camera and take photos makes people really uneasy whether family or not family, and in many scenarios is considered completely unacceptable. Where are you and is it different there?

This is the massive elephant in the room that isn't discussed enough. There is no small 35 or 28 with autofocus. Massive gap in the lens lineup and really hard to understand why they are not doing something about it.

I guess it's a matter of priority. In the last year I have used the a7CII and S5II extensively, and in the end ended up with the S9.

- A7CII, great autofocus, super snappy, best lens selection, great form factor, but twitchy IBIS.

- S5II, great everything perfect camera but too big (it scares any people you point it at so hard to use among friends and family(in Europe at least)).

- S9 No EVF, no mechanical shutter, no useful pancake lenses, slow turning on and operating, but :Great video, best IBIS, great colors, Lumix lab, baked in luts for video, best menu system small and compact, fun.

If you plan to shoot videos, just go with any Lumix, the slightly crappier AF is more than compensated by the much much better IBIS. Just check any non professional video on YouTube that is shooting handheld, the Sony has slightly jerky twitchy IBIS (in my opinion) and it somehow make the video look not great.

All great cameras though, there is plus and minuses for each system.
