Headrush "FRFR"-GO

We also have to remember not to be elitist fucks. Too big of an ask??
""FRFR""-No Go will be ideal.

Contradictory statement

Haha! Only when you eliminated the middle paragraph and took what I said out of context.

I doubt that this is trying to compete with a 4 x 12

Why wouldn't it?

There are no absolutes in this world. I still hear ya. But being on top of the mountain and
yelling down to the dregs below is just going to make you tired and hoarse.

Like I said, I agree with you, though.... just not absolutely.

Options are options. I doubt that this is trying to compete with a 4 x 12.

That’s a good point on perspective and I truly hope I never come across like that. I just know that when I was young and broke, I built a rig piece by piece around the concept of 6L6 power and 4x12s. I don’t think I’d do it differently if I were in that situation today.

When we were young we pieced together what we could with what we had. If I was young today I’d probably have a Valeton plugged into the karaoke machine someone left next to their garbage bin, dreaming of a fractal through QSC’s.

Yes, yes it is.

I have no desire for real amps anymore. It's a money pit, when I've got a lot of interests outside of guitar gear to also spend money on.

I am bigger and dumber than the big, dumb amps I still seem to want to buy.







Not big and dumb enough, though, to assume that big, dumb amps are for everyone.

That's just crazy!!!

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not one of the knobs who claims modelers are better than the amps they model, or whatever. And I still geek out over new stuff coming out. I just don’t see it happening for me personally, at this point of my ripe middle age.

Not everyone has decades of experience, and has played every amp under the
Sun, gigged on stages, and bought time in studios. For someone out there this
""FRFR""-No Go will be ideal.

I think this thing actually makes a lot more sense than the 112 or 108. It basically turns your small modeler into a Yamaha THR or whatever those things are called. Great for around the house, for a little songwriting session, or street-corner jam.

The 112/108 -- it just seems like there is a whole lot of well vetted, long standing PA gear at that same price point that doesn't require the newb to know the secret handshake of finding a corrective EQ curve from the Fractal Forum to sound/perform well.

yeah, I turned my "pedal a month is a perfectly fun little thing to do that is hardly noticeable on the budget" hobby into a "lens a month" thing this fall. Unfortunately, the lens a month hobby is a very noticeable on the budget And I still went and bought an MIJ Gretsch...

Overall I just don't get to play amps in a way that makes the payoff worth the money put into them nearly enough to justify it at this point...and as willing as I am to do absurd stuff, having a tube amp feeding into a load to then feed into something else to play at modest volume just... No. I'll take modeler dweeb over that nonsense all day long.

Yeah, I’m looking at switching to mirrorless, which is gonna be costly.

I got co-opted into being the middle school x-country team photographer which justified the move to mirrorless for me this fall and the auto-focus improvement is no joke.

 

[la szum]

I'd love an upgrade in the optical capture device department.

Been thinking about it a bunch. Telling myself how much it will
increase my hiking levels, and my canoe and kayaking in the Summer.

On the plus side -- I'm on Canon and have had zero problem just running old EF glass on the RF adapter. Leads to a little bit of wonkiness in that you now have this relatively tiny body with a lens that is an extra 3/4" longer than it would be otherwise, but...a lot cheaper than having to go with all new lenses.

The beauty is we live in a time where anyone of us can find whatever sonic solution
works best for us. In spite of all the grumbling we still about certain things.

Can we start a Photography/Camera Thread here?? It'd be cool.
