This one (4/1) got me pretty good, it didn't seem impossible, Berhinger making weird remakes cheap is believable enough that I briefly got my hopes up and thought "$99? Sure!!"

Edit: this was a pretty good troll because it looks like the timber wolfs main problem is being boring and not very dynamic, not sounding bad per se.

Cheap enough for a circuit bending excursion.

I used to have an old Yamaha OD10MII overdrive that was great, but then modded it to have a voltage choke switch and it loving ruled as a fuzz. Output was lower but just ran a boost after it lol

The real gem is leaving the overdrive on and putting the boost before it for when you want a distortion bordering on fuzz.

^ Reminds me of one of Rob Swire's joke plugin ideas that was something like "a param EQ that slowly resets gains back to zero - for times when the client says they need more presence, but they're wrong."

Dude this is the stupid music thread, not the awesome music thread.

One of my teachers used to do something like that with rack gear, there was one preamp that just had a giant unlabeled knob. He wouldn't patch anything through it, but if the A&R rep was getting in the way he'd be like "buddy I really need a hand with this. You gotta turn this knob up every other snare hit, okay?" It'd keep them busy and you could get them to think it was doing whatever they needed to get the vibes right.

so, uh, any tips for removing maple syrup from electronics, or should I just nail it to the wall like everything else that dies down here?

I figured there was a 50/50 shot none of the gear that comes into the sugarhouse leaves in working condition, that's why this is a mackie mix5 and not my zed10fx

well the good news is I cleaned this off and set it aside, and then also that I may actually have insurance coverage on this


the bad news is the reason for the insurance coverage



It was somewhere off to the side of the remains of that evaporator when the entire building was engulfed in flame. So, we went from sugar house music to the black metal equivalent of things exploding in pyrolytic reactions, I guess. Assuming we rebuild it, probably not going to be until next year...

my 50/50 prediction was off by 50%, this year we had a 100% rate of equipment failure, I guess :(

Probably about $500 in music stuff in the claim, which is probably going to be like $25,000, so, not a significant piece of anything.

having the evaporator covered at replacement cost is enough of a :staredog: that I'm going to be very very sure of the integrity of my overall claims list, because getting a new equivalent evaporator and all gear is nowhere near six digit pro end Neve money but also is going to be close to or into five digits.

Thanks for the best wishes and sympathy, no humans and as far as I know no animals were injured and so far it sounds like we have full replacement coverage and it's cut and dry, so I am trying to take it in stride the same way I've tried to take it in stride when I've walked away from twisted up cars that, likewise, represented a material loss and a headache but also represented a near death experience that everyone involved got a hall pass for.

And, hey, at least I recorded a few samples down there.

I'm slowly but surely using a Metalzone as the basis for my tone now.

TS7 in standard overdrive 0/10/10 config.
V
Metalzone on sensible settings (level around 5, all eqs between 11 and 1 o'clock, gain at about 11 o'clock
V
NS2 to stop shrieking and hiss.
V
(cheapass yellow fall delay, a steal for 20 quid)
V
Blackstar TVP100 head set flat on solid state clean, slight resonance and presence tweaks depending on cab.

When I can find the right obsolete USB cable I will check the fx loop on my head is set to the fx loop mode rather than emulated out (the worst cyberpunk hell, fx loop only switchable via usb and software) and try Full Ola.

Edit: also, Waves seem to have rescinded their subscription only model. Thank gently caress, I only got their stuff last Black Friday.

I had to give up on recording with my Katana because the software didn't want to work and I don't like the default high-gain sound, so I had to resort to plugging my AMT P2 straight into my MPC One. It worked surprisingly well.

i messed with this a week or two ago and was blown away by how good it is. honestly think this cuts off stuff like neural dsp/stl/etc at the knees.

where are you getting models? found someone's github repo with a bunch but i think there's probably better out there...

Wow, the Neural Amp Modeller is pretty impressive! Spent all afternoon playing with it. Being able to switch from a Vox to Mesa Boogie IV is awesome!

I've always struggled with latency so have shied away from amp sims, do people manage to use a 128 buffer, i.e. 8ms of delay? I struggle with lower than 256 which is about 14ms total.
