Yeah I usually avoid using that word, I don't like it... but in this case pretty much sums up.Hahaha, I know! Very much a lot boomer humour (hopefully no offense to anybody here

I see a difference between the word boomer and the concept boomer humour.Yeah I usually avoid using that word, I don't like it... but in this case pretty much sums up.
Following up on a prior post, I'm going to use a 212 guitar cab with my fearful 15 sub. It makes sense in my head...but that probably just means it will be a disaster in the execution.
We all need a starting point. "It makes sense in my head" is one I believe in.
Ah yes, wife bad.
Seen that sentiment floating around here before and it honestly makes sick. I will always support my partners in their creative endeavours and I will expect the same from them. How you could marry someone who is hostile to your ambitions and spend years resenting each other is beyond me. Oh well. Earlier today realised that what I'm looking for tonally might be achievable with an HM-2 pushing into my Burning Sunn. I think that's in the ballpark of it at the very least. Maybe I'll have to hop on the PD-7 bandwagon, but I'm gonna experiment with the Behringer HM-2 first. Unrelatedly, my mum found a Danelectro grilled cheese distortion lying around. It must be from my father or my siblings. Looked it up and oh my lord it sounds comically bad

Apologies if this has been answered already (like, last year when you posted this), but I’ve been playing along with Advaitic Songs recently, and there’s definitely a low C on “Gethsemane” and “Haqq al-Yaqin.” My guess is, he’s got one 4-string Ric tuned to C, one 4-string tuned to standard E for tracks like “At Giza,” and then the 5-string Ric tuned to standard B for “State of Non-Return” and “Sinai.”
OK, how about this: which album/track has Al’s gnarliest tone?
I’d probably pick “Unitive Knowledge of the Godhead” off Pilgrimage.

I went back through Om's discography, and I think the tunings go something like this:
Variations on a Theme: All songs a half-step down (Eb standard)
Conference of the Birds: "At Giza" is standard E, "Flight of the Eagle" is somewhere between E and Eb on the recording, but played in standard E at their live shows
Pilgrimage: All songs one step down (D standard)
God is Good: "Thebes" is Eb standard, but I'm not sure about the other songs. They're all playable in E standard, but I can hear what sounds like an open B drone in "Meditation is the Practice of Death," and an open C# drone in "Cremation Ghat II." The riffs in the two Ghats seem like they would make the most sense tuned 1 1/2 steps down (C# standard)
Advaitic Songs: I was actually wrong about every tuning on this album, hah! "Addis" is in the key of Eb, so I'm guessing that's what Al tuned to, since he loves those open drone notes, though it's possible he might have played it at a fretted position in another tuning. "State of Non-Return" and "Sinai" are both 5-string tuned a half-step down (Bb standard). "Gethsemane" and "Haqq al-Yaqin" are both 1 1/2 steps down (C# standard).

I love my HM-2s and PD-7s, but man. I just think more tones should involve HM-2s. I support anyone trying to find their tone with an HM-2. Such a wild sound. Good luck!
not affiliated at all, but this will likely give you the sunn tone at a solid price. I have the EAE version and it kills.

just scored a fender pa 135 for cheap. 6x 12a*7 4x6l6 running in ultralinear. I'm thinking if i added a filament transformer i could run kt88/6550 and have a dual preamp (orange graphic/matamp gto and either bassman or jtm/jmp) into a model t-style power amp. loud and doomy as f
State of Non-Return, easily! Though that one is doubled by a synth as far as I can tell, so I guess it's disputable. At Giza hits like a truck considering its context. I don't think it's tonally that heavy, but the build up makes it feel amazingly powerful.
Yes it is. He has an old Marshall jcm 800 100w but we like the Butcher better. The Peavey is fatter in the low end.
Yes, I hate the "oh no I better hide dis from da wife, amiright fellas?"
My wife is cool. As long as we aren't spending money we need for bills, etc, we support each others passions.
Could you please explain what this refers to? I can't figure it out and I'm worried that I said something to upset you.
It's a common running joke especially among older generations of hating one's spouse. You can check out Invalid Link Removed for some prime examples. In the more generalised sense, when directed at women, it's usually that the wife is a nag, got ugly with age, doesn't want to have sex, etc. In regards to music, it's often people joking (though oftentimes not joking) about hiding expenses from their spouses because they would consider it frivolous spending. It is really tiring when the number one joke on a lot of musical forums is "I constantly lie to the person closest to me in my life and I endanger our shared economy by spending too much money on gear"
