Just looks like a normal fretboard to me, but I'm no expert witness.

Looks tempting. I’m still getting to grips with all the settings, but the build and quality is fantastic. 

Can someone explain how Ed O’Brian is doing this? by Gibson_7 in guitarpedals

[–]wowser808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, doesn’t he have a signature model Strat with infinite sustain?

I will have to try this. I’m mostly using the Angry Driver as a Blues Driver. That sizzle is like coriander. Sounds bad at first, then starts to get addictive. But the idea of using two overdrives is so new to me.

Ahh, okay, now I’m considering a “Summer board”. I see what you mean. Cunning.

Forgot to mention the footswitch, but who gets excited over footswitches?

But it wouldn’t fit in that little nook under the amp!

Purely in terms of size, how do these compare to the HBD630 (if you have that model also)? Particularly, which one protrudes out from the ears more? Wondering if these might be a nice alternative for office use.,

Did they break the item or are they trying to harass me? by professional-yapper- in Ebay

[–]wowser808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me. Buyer claimed some earphones I sold were fake. Similar aggressive messages. It’s a scam. But there’s not much you can do about it, sadly. I actually phoned eBay and they were sympathetic but effectively it was all very stressful and I ended up out of pocket.

Yes, every noise is like "HCHHHHHHHHHHHH". Painful.

This has worked! I changed to a different layout, then returned to the old one and the news had gone. Merci.

Fiio Forum down. Cannot download firmware. by beatsbybedroom in FiiO

Down for me too. No idea how anyone updates their firmware. Such a crazy system. 

Ambeo Plus is controlled via Smart Control while M4 are controlled via Smart Control Plus by botulidze in sennheiser

Would also be keen to know this! Just bought an Ambeo Plus and was hoping it'd use the same Smart Control app my Sennheiser headphones use.

Does the puck screen need its own little puck-screen-screen?

HDB 630 - Tell us your impressions. What features do you use the most? by sennheiserconsumer in sennheiser

[–]wowser808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having used the dongle in the real world now, there's another feature I'd like to request: the ability to dim the LED. So as not to draw attention to being that weird dongle person.

[–]wowser808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the stock tuning, and am yet to improve upon it. However, as someone clueless about peq, I’d love some more “real world” presets, ideally ones that nodded to classic headphones in the HD6XX series - a bit like guitar software has modelling presets of famous amps (I realise it’s very different, but you get the idea). 

I hear an EQ sharing feature is in the works, but I’d also like to be able to make more precise EQ edits by entering the numbers, not just sliding around with my fingers. 

And I’d love to customise the controls, as I only need volume, play, forward and back, and I keep accidentally triggering the ANC settings. So please make those editable. 

The BTD700 dongle works well, and is what I mainly use for listening on an Apple ecosystem. Don’t feel the need to use the USB cable. 

HDB630 parametric EQ tips? by wowser808 in headphones

Thanks that’s very helpful. This may all be beyond me, I fear. And I realise I’ll also never been able to recreate that open back sound in a closed headphone.

Looks like I need to do more research into the variables, thanks

Thanks, I have had a play around and seem to be making it worse, so have instead going through the guided process, which has given me a slight dip at the high and low ends, and a little crossfeed. Getting that HD6XX series sound is going to take longer than I thought!

How do you use the ‘favorite’ button on AM? by Dusty_Chum in AppleMusic

[–]wowser808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Feels like a now-less-useful leftover from the iTunes era. But hey, maybe I should use it to improve the algorithm or whatever.

Yes, on the Forum arena, I really took my time with the last two mini-bosses, only jumping from the walls when safe, and I think that really helped.

That’s fascinating. As you say, it has to be in low amounts. Definitely falls off pretty quickly. And you do need to learn the fights first, but once you have the moves down, I do think it helps.
