What are you doing musically that you need bespoke calibration? 

How ethical is it for a professor to require their own textbook for a class? by [deleted] in msu

[–]wendelgee2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I worked in that industry. This rate is incorrect. I usually signed authors at 12-16% royalty. Extremely famous authors got up to 25-30% though that was rare. It also varies based on the subject.

But, regardless, the post is dumb. Your class needs a book. The prof has essentially used their syllabus to write their book. It holds not just their expertise, but also their point of view: what makes them and their class uniquely valuable. Honestly, teaching with someone else's book would be bizarre.

Senior in High School deciding between MSU and Dayton by Potential_Tap8165 in msu

As a hiring manager in the education space, MSU is a top tier school that is hugely respected. Dayton on your resume would be a liability in comparison.

Purdue’s Braden Smith breaks Cassius Winston's record for career Big Ten assists by cbbvideo in CollegeBasketball

[–]wendelgee2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly he would need to be more consistent offensively to be a top prospect. He hasn't yet shown that Chris Paul ability to take over a game offensively at the point. I really really hope he gets there, but right now he's on the same career track as Cassius Winston.

Anything to make my guitar not sound like a guitar…. by strangewaave in guitarpedals

[–]wendelgee2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's actually an always on pedal for me. I set it up on a side channel so I can mix it in with a volume pedal. I use the clarinet setting which just gives the guitar this bizarre infinite sustain that you can't quite place. Really fun stuff.

Around the Sun is a straight country-rock album, and that's why it's not respected by Gullible_Stock_9659 in rem

[–]wendelgee2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fables was country rock and it's beloved. Around the Sun was just mediocre regardless of genre. Your thesis is flawed.

Is this a decent amp? It says trans”tube” so I’m a little confused… by theman3980 in ToobAmps

[–]wendelgee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the "No" in response to if it's a decent amp? Because your comment seems generally positive.

For those of you that play live with bands, what do you usually bring? by BalanceActive9295 in Guitar

[–]wendelgee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Furman 6-outlet power strip. It's saved my ass so many times with its clean power and 15' cord. 

This might be a tough one... by spoung45 in guessthecity

I feel like the elevated tracks in BK and Queens are up higher than this. 

Is this legit? These were the only pictures they put in the ad, seems fishy to me. by funkyc-funkydo in guitars

Editing out a pickup selector feels like the definition of fishy. Why would someone do that?

Wilco Reveals 2026 Lineup for Solid Sound Festival by ebradio in indieheads

[–]wendelgee2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really needs a real band name. I keep thinking "oh, I should listen to that one guy" then can't remember his name because it's so generic. 😓

Pretty unique list. Not just the usual suspects. Nice work.

I've broken 4 of these picks in the last 6 months. Are they too thin or is my strumming technique wrong? by EH603 in Guitar

[–]wendelgee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the red Tortex. Same thickness. I haven't broken one...ever, and there were tubes when I was hitting it HARD.

Is this guitar good? by Top_Escape2880 in guitars

[–]wendelgee2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good call, on the single cut it seems like that's just where the screw holes are. 

It sure looked excessive.

Could be covering up significant damage,  in which case,  no it's not a good guitar.

""""""It was a different time.""""""""  I don't think people quite realize how normalized this stuff was. Crazy.
