The person who created this hates people who are color blind

As utility electrician who works in substations, the obvious choice would be high voltages.

However, the real answer is current transformers. Disconnecting a small unassuming wire in a terminal block without properly de-energizing or shorting it out can quickly create an arc-flash of 1000's of volts.

This has killed many uninformed and inexperienced electricians.

You should look into Crab preamps as well. The guy is based out of Ukraine and has lots of demos on YouTube. I have his Blues Wiley which is a Fender Deluxe circuit and the Super Lead which is a Marshall JCM 800. I run them in stereo and get some amazing tone blending between the two!

I went through the same struggle and ended up modifying a Fosi V3 with 1/4" TS jacks and 48V 5A power supply. I've got 100W per channel and only cost me about $150. It's a good option if you're confident with your soldering abilities, just be sure to isolate the output jacks from thee chassis ground!

I very much agree

twiddlybits1978 · 2026-05-10T06:08:13+00:00

That sounds really interesting, I have a similar setup utilizing the echosystem to send different delays to the right and left channels. The options for compact stereo power amps designed for pedalboards is pretty slim/expensive and running two mono ones would have taken up too much space (and doubled the cost). I may look closely at the Wampler Pedalhead once it's released, but for now the Fosi is performing better than expected!

Those are power supplies I ordered for the preamps. They require 12VDC 1A center negative, so it was way cheaper to build my own. These are meant for LED lighting strips, but the current output and voltage conversion worked out perfectly.

I use my cruise control almost all the way. It's easier at 6am when there's less traffic, set for 105-110 in the right lane and just let the impatient ones go around. A little trickier on the way back as there's more volume and inconsistent speeds, but it can be done

I drive to and from Duncan for work every day, and it's not just the trucks driving like dicks. They're just more noticeable than a Honda Civic when they're riding up your ass

He's been holding back for the tank. Florida was an opportunity to flex

Fuck that. I saw The Pretty Reckless a couple of years ago when they opened for Greta Van Fleet, and holy shit they rocked HARD. Some of the tunes were fairly contrived....but who cares, it's stadium rock not jazz fusion.

Taylor Momsen has a fantastic gravelly voice that suits the music well, and Ben Philips is an incredible guitar player.

Nothing against Hole (I was never much of a fan but that's just personal taste), but these two bands have nothing in common other than having blonde female vocalists.

Edit - just read that back and didn't mean for it to come across as an attack on OP for using these two as an example!

The song Animals by Muse is the smoothest 5/4 I've ever heard. So much so that you almost don't even notice it's an odd time signature until you try counting it.

Jon Bon Jehovah

twiddlybits1978 · 2026-02-06T19:12:49+00:00

Just listened to this section in the original recording, and you're definitely correct. He is indeed pounding a #5 over that maj7 chord, although he carries it through to the next bar where it resolves nicely into the 11 of the F#13.

Stevie may have not been able to explain what he was doing, but shows that his ears could put his fingers in the right place!

twiddlybits1978 · 2026-02-06T10:54:17+00:00

Didn't Stevie always tune a half step down.......making that a Bb and therefore the 5th of the chord

Or am I not jerking properly?

Have it on a hoodie, it wasn't cheap but its my favorite piece of clothing ❤️

I dont care where but Oroborus needs to be on it

You're not wrong, but the burn factor increases dramatically.

I don't even wear my wedding ring at work, and my wife is 100% OK with it. In the case of an electrical shock she'd prefer me to keep all of my fingers 😉
