    signs of spring...

    Thanks, I did hear already about the dairy, didn't know about the wheat, although wheat pollen being one of the culprits it's not surprising that it helped you to cut it out. I switched to a ketogenic (high fat, medium protein, minimal carbohydrate) diet a couple of months ago, so already cut...

    Pedal Porn: Gut shots and more!

    Orange Squeezer compressor I built from the kit from Fuzzdog pedal parts.

    No-velcro pedalboards?

    You should have at least a velcro fuzz on your board.;)

    signs of spring...

    Hayfever. I even went to get prescription medication for it.

    10 Hz and 50 Hz noise from cable, why?

    I finally got around to opening up the cable, and saw something rather unpleasant. Apart from single conductor cable being used, it also seems the wrong pins were soldered together to the shield, though I'm not sure since I already dismantled the cable. I replaced the wire with a proper two...

    10 Hz and 50 Hz noise from cable, why?

    @silky smoove , you mean recording with the cable connected, saving the recording, quitting the DAW, then disconnecting the cable, then restarting the DAW and opening the recording? In that case it's still there, but I'm not sure that's what you meant. @beans-on-toast , I checked the firmware...

    10 Hz and 50 Hz noise from cable, why?

    If I connect an xlr cable to my audio interface, it creates noise at 10 Hz and at 50 Hz. The latter can be explained by the mains electricity. But why the former? That the cable is dodgy seems clear, but why the noise at 10 Hz (and harmonics)? I've attached several spectrum plots made using...

    Is there a 5 string whose B actually matches the other strings?

    As quite a few have already said: the answer is a balanced sets of strings. Most standard sets have a B string with far lower tension than the other strings, no wonder it's hard to get the B to sound similar. Try a Kalium balanced set at the tension you like. Just make sure the total tension is...

    Would this work well?

    Thanks. Well, I've ordered the amp and the cab. The amp should arrive later this week, the cab can take a few weeks.

    Would this work well?

    The real slippage is in my neck, but my lower back isn't too good either. I think the Little Mark 250 with the Rootmaster 112 come out to slightly less than the Cube. With regards to another apartment, that will happen at some time, but it's quite hard to find something okay and affordable.

    Would this work well?

    I thought about a trolley as a future option, at this moment it's not needed. Are there trolleys that go easily up and down stairs? I've got 71 to my apartment. I like the DIY option, but have no space to let glue/paint/finish dry. Other than that I could have a local wood shop cut the wood.

    Would this work well?

    Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my amplifier. I've now got a Roland Bass Cube 30, which while okay in very small rooms on the floor does not cut it at ear height, at least if I want a clean sound. If I turn up the gain it does get loud, but with distortion. I want to move away from a combo to a...

    Strap button came loose, now what?

    The screw of the strap button which had been coming a bit loose already for a while and which I screwed back in every time, was now just pulled out. The hole widened and I can't screw it back in. Should I fill the hole with liquid wood, then screw it back in? Or should I use a longer screw...
