    The Smoking and Smokers Thread

    I quit smoking using mindfullness training with the "craving to quit" app. But as with all the selfhelp stuff like books and apps, you still have to do it yourself in the end.

    Lack of 'Metal' Cycling Apparel

    And here's how hardcore/metal/rocknroll/extreme or just plain stupid and risky road cycling can get. Red Hook crit racing. Flat track, no brakes, no gears.

    Lack of 'Metal' Cycling Apparel

    I got some Team Rock Racing knockoffs on Ali Express. The worst cycling team ever in cycling history but the logo is cool.

    Cyclists - SSO Strava Club

    No Strava club yet? Anyway, I destroyed an ebike engine within a year of commuting (60 km per day). Then I got a road bike. Then I quit smoking in 2017. Then I got a real midlifecrisisbike, a Colnago V1-R. And in 2019 I started doing competitive cycling, open crit races mainly. And in 2020 I...

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    Touché! You're right, and it also has the cool fx loop mechanism. I'm happy I overlooked it, saves me another $100 :D

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    AMT is having spring sale, whoohoo! I just ordered a V1 (Vox) and O2 (Orange) preamp and a B2 (Bogner) drive pedal. I have high expectations of the V1 preamp. It has an fx loop that engages when the preamp is switched off so you can have a dual channel preamp. It is also the only AMT stompbox...

    From case queen to main 6er

    I needed a 6 string for my QOTSA tribute band. I only had 7 string guitars but QOTSA is in standard C, which is not the most favourable tuning for 7 string guitars (imo). To raise funds for the guitar, I sold a LTD WA-600 which was so heavy I'd break my collarbone while playing. I also sold an...

    Need advice on pedal choice for QOTSA tribute band.

    Very nice pedal, Catalinbread makes great stuff. I like those broken fuzz sounds. I have something similar, with footswitchable modes. Most people have a hard time figuring out the controls, this youtube demo is the only one that makes a bit of sense: Thanks! After reading your post I got my...

    Essential skills for being in a band

    Having fun with friends. Most important. :agreed: All other skills are things you will learn. You're not going to memorize 24 posts anyway while playing with a band.

    Favourite Mooer preamp pedal?

    I've actually just ordered the 004 daytripper, supposed to sound like a Vox AC30. I hope it's good.

    Need advice on pedal choice for QOTSA tribute band.

    Yes, it's pretty much half PDF and half Fuzz. Great video with TVL on Reverb, I loved watching that :) His comments are pretty sharp. I'm looking to replace the AMT D2, because it's a high gain monster. It's drive channel starts waaaaay over the breakup point. I need something that cleans up...

    Need advice on pedal choice for QOTSA tribute band.

    No, the Stone Deaf Kliptonite is a switchable overdrive + fuzz. I need something that responds well at the receiving end of a boost. My whole setup is: - Schecter USA customshop PT telecaster and a lapsteel into an AB box, - Tuner -> Morley Tremonti Wah - > ISP Decimator II -> 4 channel...

    Need advice on pedal choice for QOTSA tribute band.

    Yes. :) Let's say I'm not in the market for a $399 costing boutique pedal. So no Wampler or Empress Heavy and so on. If a price tag goes over $150 there better be a really good reason for it.

    Need advice on pedal choice for QOTSA tribute band.

    Hi guys, I'm currently in a qotsa tribute/cover band, and I'm the lucky guy who gets the Troy van Leeuwen parts. So I get to do all the ambient stuff and need a lot of versatility when it comes to overdriven tones. At the moment I have something I can work with but I'm not fully satisfied with...

    How many guitars are too many?

    All I can say is that my guitar binge is a great remedy against midlife crisis. After 9 guitars all I want is a Ford Mustang to prove I'm still young hahaha

    DiMarzios for my mahogany RG7

    When I play my mahogany Schecter with DiMarzio Blaze Custom in the bridge, people think I'm running a noise gate. If you're after thight and barky sounds, you really should try it.

    Look for a practice combo Amp ?

    I'd go for 30 watts solid state, a 12 inch speaker, and probably modeling with some built in fx for versatilty.

    Need help with some ideas for a present for a friend.

    I gave these to a friend, success guaranteed if he likes the movie! Or a standback amp stand for his practice amp? http://standback.net/ , a wall hanger for a guitar, a set of DR Neon strings, Dunlop fast fret, a slide, a capo........ Most digital tools like guitar chord finders are now...
