Blastronaut

Vox Tonebender should seal the deal, it's basically a germanium Fuzz Face and roughly the same circuit that Solasound cheekily snuck into pedals between the MK1 and MK2 when they were struggling meet demand (unofficially dubbed the MK1.5). If either you or @Tom get the chance, I'd be really interested to hear how that patch responds to you rolling back the volume control on your guitar just slightly. If it's on the money then dialing back your guitar volume knob from 10 to 9 will give you a much cleaner sound. If it doesn't, they've half arsed it.

My only point was that the $44 billion seems to have been be partly backed and financed by other investors and didn't come entirely from Musk's pocket. I'm sounding a bit tinfoil hat but it it looks a lot like he's been completely played by a collective of other rich cunts with nothing in common besides wanting to see Twitter collapse on its arse.

Is there patches on this for any old germanium based fuzz pedals? I'm curious how the clean-up is on stuff like MK1 Tonebender, 60's Fuzz Face and all that ancient stuff. Honestly not trying to pick holes in it, the tech is more than capable of getting it right, just curious if it's there yet. If there's convincing MK1 and Zonk Machine patches I'll need to start looking for a new side gig.

I should clarify that by adding I dont like the cunt. I just think he's spectacularly naive and wonder how much he is being played by other influences.

Honestly can't help but get the impression that killing it as platform was always the end game of this takeover. Only real question for me is whether Elon himself was aware of that.

As a skinny bastard I've never had to worry much about portion size or go down these dietary rabbit holes but this is captivating. Where do I sign up?

Pickle Rick eat your heart out. "Check it out Morty, I've turned myself into a pickle!".

You probably want to speak to the Internet King. More seriously though, the buffering is likely caused by bandwidth limitations, either or your end or the side of whoever is hosting the stream you're trying to watch.

Fucking hell I completely missed that loan deal and thought you'd misworded that. What an amazingly weird and thoroughly entertaining timeline to be living in.

Thats just a natural reaction to being served Red Label when you definitely said black.

A massive stylised letter N and a solitary Magpie? I'm not even superstitious but that's a bad omen. That aside, the artwork has big Rich Energy vibes at best. At worst it screams "Blastronaut is on the Johnnie Walker and fucking about with Microsoft Paint again".

Fucking hell, I'm a sucker for the snooker and I had no idea the UK Championship was even on. Probably the first time in 15 years it's completely passed me by. Can't say I'm even all that arsed.

Are Leeds the English Hibs? This is almost as hilarious as the Rocky Bushiri saga.

I'm 36 man (maybe 37, fuck knows). if there was an old dude down the boozer that would sling me over his mobility scooter and drop me off somewhere close to my house for £20 I'd be all for that if it beat the taxi queue. There's a right good business plan there that would add a new layer to the usual "I woke up at home, so I surely didn't embarrass myself too much".

You could've ran a pavement bound late night taxi service man. Round up a few alcoholic pensioners to hover around boozers and listen for folk shouting "fucking 40 minutes wait for a taxi!" then step in with a solution.

Aye I think that's what folk usually take it to mean, but it's thrown about so much it's pretty much meaningless, especially here. Clipping diodes literally chop off the peaks of the waveform. Asymmetric just means it clips one side of the wave less than the other. Trying describe something like that as transparent is poor form. @Monkeys Fist this is me after sleeping on it to try and calm down.

Right fuck it I've been holding this in since last night but can't let it slide. Hate seeing the word "transparent" used to describe guitar effects at the best of times but on a fucking overdrive pedal? Unforgivable. Could've said Mode 3 gives a bit more clarity over mode 1, I'd have let that slide. But if its transparent, what fucking use is it? Thats EQD off my "good guys" lists. Dicks.

If you crank the gain/drive knob it's probably firmly in TS territory. Back off the gain and use it as boost and its bordering on the Klon/TS hybrid everyone's always wanted but never bothered to ask for. No idea how boss went about emulating the extra headroom from the charge pump for the digital patch, but I'll trust they haven't just half-arsed it. Out of curiosity, is there a Klon patch on this thing?

I used to really like playing about mic placement on vst plugins like Guitar Rig. Always found it near impossible to physically mic up a speaker you're in the same room as and get a feel for how different mic placements change things when you're not isolated from the source. Was a great "oh fuck right, that's how it works, I get it now" kinda moment. Shame it didn't help me with the original issue but probably only because im a dozy cunt. As an aside, the Plumes is a pretty interesting take on the TS. Having all the clean boost headroom of the Klon in a Tubescreamer is a great idea. I forget what the other tweaks were, I think the mid-hump was a centered around a slightly lower frequency but I'm sure the others were less trivial.

I'll probably give that a watch tbh. Love both Zappa and the Bill and Ted films, but for now I'm away to bed trying to remember whether Alex Winter was Bill or Ted. I'll probably end up separated or divorced tomorrow after muttering "Esquire" and "Theodore" in my sleep.

Pretty sure my missus put on The Watcher last night. Passed me by entirely, looked like some generic haunted house pish from what little of it I caught.

Im not even all that interested in guitars half of the time tbh.

I made my brother-in-law a Celtic themed Rangemaster (the "quadruple treble" boost) as a gift not that long ago, somecunt saw it and asked if it could go further than 9.

You've lost me man. Best wishes to the bride and groom and all that obviously, but did the good round (of golf) come before or after the session?

> Played probably my worst round yesterday in a competition before my mates wedding....and then one of my best today. Assuming this wedding happened inbetween rounds I'd be inclined to guess you're are bit like me and move more naturally when yer either mildly hungover or still completely pissed from the night before.. But I know fuck all about golf.
