  • Little late to the party, but Ive done DI the last bunch of shows Ive played. It simplifies things. If I were playing Carnegie Id bring an amp, but to a bar? Save some stage space, one less thing to kick over mid-set. Ive had sound guys mic me off-axis, lol. Im my experience, sound guys like giving you the XLR. Stage presence hasn’t been that bad either, maybe Ive just been lucky, but they’ve been able to push bass into my monitor.

    Its hard to believe anyone would use the thing. It’ll be more problematic if/when its used for regulatory purposes. Sort of at the desensitization still. Today.

    I had to take a State exam for licensure a few years back. I was told that I had to take a palm/vein scan to prove my identity. I informed her Ive never had one so it could not prove my identity-- but hey, Im the crazy one. Its on a server somewhere now tho… Modernity is pretty stupid, tbh.






  • Theres also an ABY up top, the second EQ is for the other (dry) output. Will likely biamp live, and this will leave my lows uneffected. The MXR 10bands are really solid. These two are 18v modded, as are a lot of stuff on the board. More headroom for low freqs. If you can find an the ancient blue ones with the 110vac plug, its even better than the mod. Can’t recall 100%, but I believe they are (or were) built as ‘gyrating EQs,’ very musical compared to constant-Q.

    Cable management? Whats that? :p My noise floor is low, AFAIK, so its okay. Im secure with my mess. Next time I get some loot Ill probably invest in more/new patch cables.










  • You really didn’t. You made some vauge statment about being a ‘taxpaying member of society.’ When Im in Canada I pay (sales) tax and follow thier (societal) laws. And vice versa. You can be a Canadian working in the US, integrating into our society, and paying (dual) income tax without citizenship… Granted there are tax credits to retroactively return some of the double-taxing… Also, a 16 year old in the States can work a taxable job, should they vote? Theres nuance to be had.

    I think it’s fair to say that you like having a system where entry to vote is as low as possible. However, way back to the beginning, it says nothing about being knowledgeable or virtuous. If anything it insinuates that you don’t actually respect the two. Or you just belittle your own knowledge and virtue.


  • We just had a breakthrough :] Canadians don’t pay taxes. That’s right! Finally some insight from you. Is it presumptuous for me to think you’re cool with this limitation? What about other current limitations? What about literacy… How will the illiterate make their selections otherwise? Are you really a member of society if you dont know the language… However many think that this would be ‘voter suppression.’ The bar is literally that low.

    Ive known of plenty of people who’ve had their children removed from their custody. Are they still ‘parenting’ when their child is a ward of the State? There is nuance to be found here. Not to mention the actual legal definition isn’t as you claim…

    So smoking less weed is not an improvement? They should instead just keep smoking joints in the living room with the toddler at the TV? Surely this doesnt actually appeal to you. Smoking less weed means more net-income and more short-term memory. This is not controversial.

    Imagine doing so little to move the conversation and being indignant about the way it goes :]
