I’ve used Super Slinkys for the longest time too but the past few years I’ve been using some DR strings and they’re pretty good too. I’ve been using the black and red coated ones though but they sound great.

Awesome. Good to hear good things about it. I have some spare ESPs laying around to try this on so I guess I know what I’m doing this weekend.

LOL yep that’s him. TBF, NAM is pretty amazing. Only way I can play an Engl.

No SMG is Spectre Media Group. This place He does all metal music production stuff.

Having multiple guitars, I’ll still go by what Jim Lill and SMG say: it’s mostly up to the speakers. I have a knockoff tele, Epi Wildkat and some others. They sound exactly the same with my setup using an fx chain in reaper going out to my shit Line6 amp. Personally I don’t care as much about sound as I do does it make me want to play?.

I have a jellyfin server and use manet on iOS and it works perfectly well for me.

Goddamnit, I didn’t even think about this when I saw they were doing the mass delete. Here’s to hoping that they’ll at least keep the videos up. Waaaay too much stuff on YT to lose it all. Anyone know if archive.org is backing them up?

I’ve been looking at esp32’s with wired connectivity lately. POE would be a nice touch.

That looks pretty cool. It’s got giant mechs so I’m in.

Different use cases.

But what of you’re actually talking about a bundle of sticks……?

This looks like it’s just sponsor blocking in the videos. Does this block pre/post ads?

As a Volvo fan, that was my first thought too.

US or Japan 7/11? I’m pretty sure they’re different grades of coffee.

“They’re not here for me”

My setup is similar. My main “desktop” is a Slackware VM through VNC/guacamole.

Why are you running full VMs for something that can be put in a container? Sounds to me (without having any evidence or proof) that you’re running out of memory and you’re swapping and it’s taking forever. That’s what causes the VMs to slow/stop.

Why not just run your own WireGuard instance? I have a pivpn vm for it and it works great. You could also just put jellyfin behind a TLS terminating reverse proxy.

I’d suggest Alpine too. Works great for me so far.

Here’s how I do it and it now sounds AMAZING. I used to have a very flat sound when playing through the computer too. I use Reaper for my DAW. I have NAM (neural amp modeler) plugin along with the NadIR plugin from Ignite Amps. I used the ToneHunt site to grab some IRs and amp sims. I’m currently using 2 tracks: one has NAM using the Ola Englund Satan 50 with a couple of IRs from the NadIR default. This track is panned slightly to the right and has a room setting of around 53ish%. The other track is similar: NAM using the ENGL Savage 2 and NadIR using some default IRs. This track is panned to the left and has a room setting similar to the other track. Using this setup makes my guitar sound WAY bigger now.
