lol I knew that the Tender Octaver was being pulled from shelves due to pressure from EHX but they'd directly just ctrl-v ed the software from the POG.

whiter than a Wilco show posted:*Quietly ignores the ad copy for the new EHX flatiron fuzz that straight up says it's a rat clone* And Soul Food is a klone. I think the difference here is that they're accusing Mooer of stealing the software, not the circuits. Mooer's stuff is all cheap clones of existing pedals. The only difference between them and the other Chinese companies is that Mooer is somehow respected enough to get into brick and mortars.

These guys come close - they have a power supply specifically for their tube based Eurorack modules: http://www.metasonix.com/ They've cleaned up some of the more... colorful product names it seems. And they had the best flyer at NAMM or such a few years ago

I honestly hate the gently caress out of the dumbshit that posted this, as someone who can't enjoy silence because my tinnitus rings in two different pitches in both ears gently caress this idiot. I have to fall asleep with a fan or a film to drown out the sound to fall asleep.

I used to play everything as loud as I could, stand in front of PAs at concerts with no hearing protection, etc. Then one day I saw an interview with Paul Gilbert where he talked about how deaf he was, and he just looked so loving sad that I decided I should take care of my hearing. Nothing sounds good enough to gently caress with your ability to hear anything a decade down the line.

I have a habit of blasting music + videogames through my headphones but I play guitar either unplugged or at bedroom volumes. If I lived in the middle of the woods somewhere I would likely ruin my hearing in a week.

Short of in ear monitors, do they really make earplugs that let the sound come through evenly across the spectrum? I usually wear my hear-o’s anyway because I don’t want to be deaf, and they’re clearly better than the little foam ones, but it’s just a fact that I like the sound I’m putting out 10x better without them. And that’s where so much of the enjoyment and encouragement comes from.

Custom molded ones are reportedly the best but when I tried to get them fitted I was told I have weird ears. I like the ones with the vented design best (eggz) becasue you get less bass occlusion and also they dont stick out of your ears like the christmas tree design.

And that’s where so much of the enjoyment and encouragement comes from. The more you spend the better the sound quality, but same as anything in music you get to a point where you have to spend a huge amount of money on professional moulds for a fractional increase in quality. In ears are the best option if you can afford it; if not you're best off just getting get the best quality ones you can access and then learning to accept the compromise. If you're a semi or full pro there are sometimes grants to cut down the price of hearing protection such as this one. Personally, speaking as a thirty year old who after fifteen years of gigging regularly has to get through important meetings by lipreading, you're going to lose your high end hearing as you get older anyway so you want to minimise the damage whenever possible. I carry a cheap pair of cones in my jacket all the time in case I unexpectedly end up out at a club for an aftershow or something because exposure all adds up quickly. You look but a tit but I got lucky with my tinnitus which faded after a year of hardcore wearing plugs so I'm in no rush to test my luck...

Not that I know of. I rock Fender earplugs and they do their thing really well, but it also kinda kills your vibe. During my previous stint as a hired gun I did get to rock IEM's, and goddamn do they make you "feel" the sound way better.

And that’s where so much of the enjoyment and encouragement comes from. I just started working in an audiology lab and I keep meaning to ask about recommendations on flat response earplugs but I remember people in here mentioned https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K6CX7HU/?coliid=I2J77O5APH9U5I&colid=2DI5Y2VVTW5AZ&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it I normally just use https://www.amazon.com/3M-90716-80025T-Corded-Reusable-Earplug/dp/B00284DIPK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1547917224&sr=8-8&keywords=3m+earplugs for general home use cause I never play that loudly and I think it makes my amp sound better. However, I play with headphones mostly because I don't want to make my cat deaf since he sits next to my amp. I'm not sure how much damage I've done with that but I don't often have ringing afterward. I should get my hearing checked again

Westone's TRU has non-custom and custom plugs that have filters of varying strength that can be used to attenuate more or less depending on the situation. Generally they're pretty flat response. Westone is an earmold shop (there are a bunch of others) so they also make ones that accept Etymotic filters. Its basically the same thing as the TRU, but I suspect Westone figured out how to make them and just wanted to make them in house rather than buying them from Etymotic. Etymotic has universal fit ones that have a 15 dB filter on them and they work fairly well. In ear monitors are another can of worms since you have to figure out how to route the sound to them in a gigging situation. And really if you're in anything but a pro gigging environment, the musician plugs are much more simple to use. Hearing loss sucks, and there's no reason to resign yourself to acquiring noise induced hearing loss.

massive spider posted:Custom molded ones are reportedly the best but when I tried to get them fitted I was told I have weird ears. Alpine makes some cheap Christmas tree plugs (I found mine for 20 bucks) that have short ends so nothing sticks out. I got them when sleeping on my side in noisy environments, but they're also handy for concerts. I'm sure you can find them unbranded too for a bit less. The only bad side is the instructions include using the applicator they have to stick them in, but never fully explain how you're supposed to get them out, so I've had them get embedded pretty deep and needing long fingernails or tweezers to get them out.

Worth noting that noted tinnitus-haver Pete Townshend attributes most of his hearing loss not to playing live, but to jamming at home with headphones while drunk. So headphones or not, moderate those sound pressure levels.

Kilometers Davis posted:What’s wrong with Mike? The usual stealing IP claims but it's extra spicy because he is the most litigious motherfucker you've ever seen. If you so much as try to sell a muff clone, not a product line but rather you're just a hobbyist making a clone here and there, you'll get 20 lawyers up your rear end in a top hat. Within 12 hours. He's generally a good dude and has done a lot for effects and music but his curated image as this affable crank from the old days is a bit simplistic.

That’s a fair criticism. Even without ever owning an EHX pedal he’s one of my favorite dudes in the business. He’s a wonderful interview. You can tell he’s extremely smart and talented but loves to lean into his goofy likable side. Can’t blame him there.
