I'm pretty sure Machina Dynamica is trolling/wackadoo crazytown, because of things like:


http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina42.htm

quote:

The alien time coordinates are contained in the recording (or videotape). The time coordinates (of what was then Present Time) of the recorded performance, millisecond by millisecond, are captured inadvertently along with the acoustic information. When a recording is played, the time coordinates from the recording session (which are now Past Time coordinates) are reproduced by the speakers along with the acoustic signals of the recorded event. Those Past Time signals become entangled, integrated in the listener's mind with Present Time signals. Because the listener is accustomed to using Present Time signals to synchronize his chronological memory, he subconsciously perceives the confusing, interloping Past Time signals as a threat. This perceived threat produces the fight-or-flight response, which in turn degrades his sensory capabilities. The reason that live television broadcasts, like the Superbowl and the 2010 Olympics, are generally observed to have superior audio and video compared to taped broadcasts is that they don't contain Past Time signals, only Present Time ones.

However "stick a big rock on your audio equipment to reduce :pcgaming: *RESONANCE* :pcgaming: is not that uncommon an opinion among the Nordost Valhalla customer base.

I went with the cheaper mustang bridge option. How big of a difference would the mastery bridge be?

The mustang bridge fixed my biggest issues (buzzing and strings popping out if I looked at them wrong).

It's a great option, I did the same with my Jag and it worked really well, a Mastery is more of a nice thing to have rather than a must have if you've got the Mustang bridge

I'd buy a 100% transparent buffer pedal. Then again I like to split my signal between multiple amps and a DI so I lose a lot of treble without a solid boost.

Signal chain is guitar>NS2>tuner>EQ set to 12db boost>DI>NS2return>ABY split into HD400 isolation transformers with a different channel per amp.

Which leads me to a dumb question. How many boosts is it safe to put in front of a single amp? Highest I've tried is 4, active pickups into the EQ, into tubescreamer, into amp with a treble boost circuit and lots of gain.

It's really going to depend on what you're stacking, because even if you put ten things in a row, there's a limit on just how much voltage a pedal will kick out, and amplifier inputs are pretty resilient. Most sane configurations, even on on the extreme end of things, won't do it unless you make a deliberate try at it. Is worth noting that it probably wouldn't be best to overwork something that's old or beat or already on it's last legs.

It's all newer gear and I've not even had a static shock from my rig when I usually get them from door handles and fridge doors so I figured it was safe but worth questioning.

I did also try the Zoom G5 rig with six tubescreamers emulated into a Joyo tubescreamer clone, into a FS300 Super Fuzz, into my laney TI15 with the boost on but it sounded, predictably, like poo poo being sharted into a full can of congealed beans, and very angry bees.

The mustang bridge fixed my biggest issues (buzzing and strings popping out if I looked at them wrong).

It eliminated the buzzes and string popping which makes chords have way more clarity and leads have better sound, so in that sense it isn't fixing anything more than what you have. The other thing, though, is that the "saddles" are much easier to adjust. Also, I can have the action much lower without buzzing.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

[October]
<director> I'm contracted to do a cartoon, I like what you did when we worked together before, want to score it?
<me> Sure! Any constraints?
<director> Not really. Needs to be done by end of December.
<me> Cool, send me the animatic and I'll whip up some themes and run them by you.
* director sends me animatic
* I send themes for what I've identified as each major section of the film

[November]
<director> Sounds good! I like the themes. The customer has some feedback though.
<me> Can you just give them my contact information?
* director goes dark
<me> Hello?

[December]
<me> Can I have the feedback? Or can you give them my contact information?
<director> Oh, sure!
* director connects us
* I send full-length draft of the score
<customer> WE LOVE IT!
<me> Any other feedback?
* customer goes dark
* I finish and polish a 10-minute modular piece based on this feedback
* director pays me

[today]
<director> The customer says that they want more variation in the tones and music for each section. You know, like when there's action, and when they're traveling, it should be different. Will it cost more to change?
<me> This is why I sent you the themes in October. I would basically have to start from scratch in order to do this.
<director> It's bedtime here. Think it over!

The demo sucks horribly like most NAMM demos but I have a ton of faith in Misha. He's an honest guy with a great ear and this and his new pedal coming out are both full of cool features and are likely very good in person. Is that really the street price though because drat. It fits in the competition at that range but I think it would do way better under $1,500.

Your human mentality cries out for vengeance and thrives on the violence you say you can hardly endure.
peavey has needed some updated designs for a long time now, I use 6505s and love them but they're dinosaurs compared to modern amps with switchable power levels, built in gates, midi switching, emulated cab outs, and stuff like engaging a built in loadbox if it detects the speaker isn't plugged in. Hopefully the clean channel also won't suck

edit: actually watched the vid, 9v power supplies on the back of the amp could be useful, and other manufacturers (I'm looking you ENGL) would charge a good $300 seperately for that footswitch

I only have single channel amps so all of these features are witchcraft in my eyes.

I would buy every amp possible if I had the money
