No way, VII is the best!

The MXR Super Badass is an AIB type of pedal and would be better suited to go straight into a clean channel. It's a Marshall Guv'nor clone I believe. Old style distortion pedals like the Boss DS-1 / MXR Dist+ would preferably go on a channel just breaking up a bit... Otherwise, for boosting an...

Watched House of the Dragon episode 7. Jarring time jumps, recasts and rushed plot. This series is like Game of Thrones, just way worse. Unlike GoT which had a bigger threat looming, this is just fantasy political drama/soap opera all the way through without anyone to root for. Come get your...

Watched Rings of Power episode 7 "The Eye". Enjoying this immensely. The big plot is moving slowly (good) and there are a lot of questions, but it's the little things like the dialogue feeling like it could have come directly from Tolkien - poetic, almost - as well as tremendous acting from the...

You can do the same with the Boss NS-2... It's got a send/return. Put the noisy pedals in there and your tone will be unaffected.

Definitely the V... Classic model. That is an ugly Explorer. I've got so many guitars there's literally zero out there I'd like to get. Nothing beats a Strat for me, and I've got enough Strats.

Rings of Power is getting more things right with the languages than Peter Jackson's movies. Change my mind.

Watched Rings of Power episode 2 & 3. Still very happy with the series. Very much looking forward to the rest of it, and find the whole social media circus around it hilarious at this point.

Watched Rings of Power S1E1. I have neither hated the idea of Amazon doing this series or had particularly high hopes - mostly it's been a bit of curiousity towards what they would do with it. I liked the first episode a lot. For all the talk about this feeling like some generic fantasy...

Don't know why I asked really. 500k should make it brighter. Funny thing is, Seymour Duncan's single sized humbuckers are voiced for 250k. (So if you put a regular humbucker into a Strat you should change to 500k volume pot but with the single coiled sized ones you shouldn't.)

Did you change the pots? Or was it 500k stock?

Started a new Minecraft world a couple of weeks ago. First time playing since 1.17 so the game has changed a bit (new world generation, way deeper caves down to -64 etc) and this is the first time playing since 2016 where a new world is required to take part of the full extent of the update...

One of my favourite horror films! Admittedly I watched it mostly because of the Dokken song, but I found it to be the best of the series.

Not really. It's like using 9-42 on a Les Paul or SG which I do all the time. My Yamaha SG (24,75") came with 9-42 from the factory. I don't downtune with that though, but it works fine in standard tuning on a Strat. Have tried 10-46 on a Strat downtuned but I don't really see the point. It...

Yes, they might put a custom set on a guitar like that. But is a non standard set.

9-42 has been the standard set on 25,5'' guitars since forever. Fender has used that for at the least 20 years on all their modern guitars. For vintage spec series it has been 10-46. You will find all Fenders which are not vintage spec at 25,5'' ship with 9-42, like this American Professional...

Unusual? That's they way Fenders are always strung from factory... Everyone plays 9-42.

Somewhere Back in Time Tour, Ullevi Gothenburg, Sweden 2008. Watched the 2005 show broadcast on national TV. Next show at Ullevi and all the other since, I was there. Was 15 in 2008. My brother, @TheTalisman here, gave you a decent recap earlier in the thread.

Watched Top Gun: Maverick (2022) for the second in cinema. That's a first for me, and while I just tagged along my family - it was worth it. Such a great film, almost perfect for what it is and well worth all the success it has had. A first class film and a lesson in how to do a legacy sequel...

Build quality on cabs is an interesting subject... When I gigged with my band I wanted an ENGL amp and cab. Thing is, the Marshall 412 1960 with greenbacks everyone is seemingly using is somewhere around 36 kg. It's sturdy as hell! Matching ENGL cab was 50 kg. Steel grill in front of the...
