Can’t believe I’ve never tried this before!
Simply get a cold, sinus infection, you name it…and voila! Everything is attenuated!
Joking aside, I was practicing last night and started wondering why my amp sounded softer than it usually does. It was actually due to that really annoying ear/sinus pressure that you experience when you’re sick or have allergies.
It makes me think about all those times when my altered perception of what I’m hearing has resulted in excessive tone/volume adjustments.
How easy it is to focus on gear when you won’t get very far without some good ears
