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.
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 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
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....
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.
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 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.
#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?
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.
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.
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.
🆕 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 […]
#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.
Can anyone that knows their way around a Hot Rod Deluxe III help me dial in a good, classic pop punk tone?
