Re: Aion Cygnus - Pete Cornish G-2 pedal

Seems similar to the Big Muff Pi. I'm not familiar with the G-2. Are you showing the whole circuit? Seems like it's designed to clip at the breakdown voltage of the Ge diodes. The Pi boosts the signal again after clipping.

Re: How Much Does a Mortar Cost?

Hadn't thought about PTSD. That must be rough. If I didn't live in the suburbs, it wouldn't bother me as much. We're not zero lot-line, but it's fairly tight quarters for launching explosives. My wife tried to walk the dog this evening, and he freaked out in the same spot as yesterday. No explosives...

How Much Does a Mortar Cost?

Damn. Every 4th of July and New Years now it's like "The 'Nam" around here. Got Shirtless Joe in the cul-de-sac, people behind us, people in front on the next street, next neighborhood ... for miles around, launching mortars for a couple of hours. Not bottle rockets, but thump-two-three-BOOM! friggi...

Re: being sober blows

cbass, I don't want to take this to a place darker than it is, but I see a gun in the picture next to the bag with the can in it. If you're contemplating anything worse than getting drunk, I would certainly seek out someone to help you through things. Please don't take my comments wrong. I've been i...

Re: happy 4th yall

Belated Happy 4th. Kaufman was "unique". I remember when he showed up on TV basically singing Karaoke to the Mighty Mouse theme. The "feud" with Lawler was magic.

Re: Amp Viagra?

Don't do that to me Roe!! :lol: I do like a bit "crisper" bottom that cuts through the mix a bit more. Let the Bass guitar provide the predominance of bass, if you will. Not thin, but a bit of edge that I couldn't seem to just dial in with the amp EQ without getting ice-picky. I'm pretty confident t...

Re: Where do we buy tubes now?

NOS/ANOS real deals are pretty much gone, but new production tube prices aren't as low as they were either. I'll pay more for used, NOS, or ANOS pre-amp tubes from what I consider to be reputable suppliers on eBay. I have yet to find a new production pre-amp tube that I felt I could leave in place. ...

Amp Viagra?

I love my Express build. Closest thing to the tone in my head I've had, and I haven't flipped the switch on any of the herd of "other" amps currently taking up space in my music room. But ... I recently decided to mod a Boss GE-7 as I love the pedal but it hisses a lot out of the box and I heard it ...

Re: Learning to play guitar - all over again

Different colors mean different material consistency. Works well even if you don't have a hand injury.

Re: Misery loves company

Dayum! That sucks! Glad you're on the mend. Grew up in Sacramento. Black Widows everywhere. Mofos can jump too!!! I used to sit on my weight bench in the middle of the garage with my Crosman 760 and shoot them in the corners of the garage. Had a near miss once plunging my hand into a paper grocery b...

USA vs. MIM Shovels

I don't find that much difference between the two, myself, though I think the scale length of the flat blade makes them harder to play than a spade tip.
