oh man so somebody fell on hard times -- walked by the pawn shop, there's a rather nice (epiphone) les paul for way too much money in the window next to a really nice marshall (for way too little money). seriously, though, i just bought an amp yesterday for good money off somebody, if i didn't, i'd be very seriously considering storming in there and getting it, it's criminally underpriced unless it's either broken or not what it looks like. #guitar#amp#marshall
I tried re-seating the tubes to stop the slight, intermittent, rustling noise.
It got gated and spitty. Just guitar/amp/speaker. Turned off and on again, this came back after a few seconds.
So I changed out the power tube. No longer spitty.
Still rustles a bit sometimes. #guitar#amp#tube#EL84#GearSquad
#GearSquad,
Dumb question from a #bass gear n00b:
Why are bass amps so many more #watts than guitar amps?
The dinky head I ordered says 200 watts.
The Orange micro terror bass lunchbox #amp says 500 (the guitar version, just 20).
Is there a good place to read about this? A quick search didn't help me.
Scratched an itch this week where I replaced a fairly old MAMP app with ~70 lines of docker-related configuration files that create 3 containers (and 1 of those could easily be removed, it's just for convenience).
In particular I'm happy that the DB files are no longer in an app-directory (/Applications/MAMP/…) that may or may not be backed up, whereas everything in my home-directory definitely is, and I can easily run mysqldump.
One of the benefits of our recent move into a bigger space is that I've been able to set up a workbench for electronics again. My first project has been revitalizing this LM386-based amp that was one of my first builds some years ago. It's based mostly on Beavis Audio's Noisy Cricket, with a few small tweaks.
I'm looking to get away from #Yamaha / #Ampeg and replace my BA210v2 #bass#amp.
However, I do really like the sound.
I found the #Genzler Magelllon 800. It sounds pretty good. Has two sculpting options from scooped to vintage plus a flat natural tone. Plenty of power.
Main issue is that it's clearly made overseas and with foriegn materials.
I don't know if there's any way around this. My best bet would be to seek out used ones.
I just read that #guitar#amp#wattage should be twice that of the #speakers, and that if too low, the sound will be muffled.
This may explain the #tone I get from my 5 watt tube amp through a Fender GE-412 300 watt cab.
#guitar#amp#valve Anyone with an Epiphone Valve jr? I turned mine on for the first time in a couple of years last night and the volume was way down. Working but very low volume. Is that likely to be the power tube failing?
I earlier this week needed to restart a server with docker on it. The service controlling docker (amp) would not start anything because it was thinking the containers already existed. I found them under docker ps -a as "Removal in progress".
Much googling later I found a nice stacked command to remove them. Nope, ZFS kept complaining dataset does not exist. I tried to create them, then found some had dependent clones. It was a resolvable rabbit hole. Eventually I just renamed the containers and vowed this ZFS on Ubuntu on a whim was just a bad idea. I'll rebuild that server soon with a more traditional FS.
Also, I hate when a simple restart (read task) turns into a big hours long task.
I'm a long-time guitarist, new to playing this genre. I'm trying to get a sound reminiscent of Blink, Sum 41, etc. Their sound is crunchy, but has a lot more clarity than say metal guitar usually has. I'm having trouble making it punchy enough without getting too muddy....
Taka ciekawostka: na #wyprawa2023 zabieram wzmacniacz audio. Zasilanie z 12V to jakieś 2 x 10W. Scalak to Yamaha YDA-138-E klasa D. Plus 2 głośniki szerokopasmowe 4", stare japończyki (ale jare).
Czy to gra? Hmm... trzeba posłuchać JAK to gra 😍 🎶 🔈
I still got the read the Verge piece on #Google#AMP, but yeah, as a developer who worked with publishers quite a bit, I never encountered anyone who liked it. The benefits were minor (besides SEO 💩), technically messy and complex; and the non-tech/monopoly/political aspect of it… Very glad it’s gone.
There's nothing surprising about the intention of #bigTech companies to keep and expand their #monopoly.
Don't be fooled - they're doing everything for their selfish interests. Benefit for society usually comes only as the byproduct, even though their mouths are full of it.
I'm glad #Google failed with their #AMP project, and that we're still free to choose how we want to build our websites.
🆕 blog! “I'm quoted in this Verge article about AMP”
The journalist David Pierce has written a piece about the birth and (almost) death of Google's AMP. Regular readers know I have been a vocal critic of AMP even when I was serving on its advisory committee. Nowadays, well, I can't remember when I last saw an AMP page (yay Firefox!) and I've never had […]
Can anyone that knows their way around a Hot Rod Deluxe III help me dial in a good, classic pop punk tone?
