2024.05.14 21:10 _super_necessary_ Boost, Overdrive and Compressor - how do you order them on your board?
I'm messing around with my signal chain and seeing what works well and what doesn't. Right now I have Tubescreamer acting as a (cleanish) boost right at the end of my chain to push the signal into the amp. It sounds like ass.
Do I blame the TS or am I using it wrong? The main OD sound is a BD-2 and comp is a dyna comp.
Generally, how do people like to set their pedals to interact with each other in this way? I'm more used to simpler gain staging, but want to give this a go now.

Hey, so I see a lot of vent posts and expressions of overwork, and coming from Retail and Service previously, I can get it. Definitely, maintaining boundaries and not putting in 110% every day and burning out is so key. I got sick from stress in my last retail role, from being gaslit and micro-managed and yet continuing to give it my all.
From that experience, I want to highlight one way to make your voices heard. If escalations to management haven’t helped, you can bring attention to your needs through a ‘Shareholder Proposal’ which Narasimhan and the board would need to hear out, and a notification for which would be sent to all Starbucks shareholders.
To start, you need one of these:
(A) At least $2,000 in market value of the company's securities entitled to vote on the proposal for at least three years; or
(B) At least $15,000 in market value of the company's securities entitled to vote on the proposal for at least two years; or
(C) At least $25,000 in market value of the company's securities entitled to vote on the proposal for at least one year…
So basically, one of those amounts of Starbucks stock for the respective time period.
There’s other eligibility criteria, proposal requirements, and guidance provided by the SEC here: https://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/rule-14a-8.pdf)
This happened at Walmart previously, and the shareholdeWalmart employee appointed Bernie Sanders to speak before the board: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/06/05/2020-candidate-bernie-sanders-attends-walmart-annual-shareholder-meeting.html
Food for thought as someone who worked within their previous retail store, talking to corporate execs, and drawing the ire of my retail managers.
You can reach the threshold through SIP and RSUs, and can have just $2,000 if held for three years.
Edit: I see the downvotes coming in. Feel free to voice your disagreement, though my goal here is to bring awareness to one method to effect change, bringing your concerns to the top.

2024.05.14 20:01 Lordzoot Good Habits? A Review of Habit Rouge EDT, Rouge Prive and the Parfum
For many, Guerlain’s Habit Rouge represents a high watermark in perfumery. Since its original release in 1965, the composition has been beloved by gentlemen (and ladies) across the world. It is also a well known favourite of many of the most well regarded perfume historians and reviewers out there and, because of that, one could well argue that there is precious little further useful opinion that can be added to the existing cannon (and they may well be right!).
Still, Jean-Paul Guerlain’s multi-faceted composition has been no stranger to a remix over the years and, since Delphine Jelk took over from Thierry Wasser as in-house perfumer at the historic French house, she has managed to deliver a staggering three new takes on the fragrance in as many years. What better opportunity could there be, therefore, to undertake both a reappraisal of the original release and, in doing so, compare it to some of the new kids on the block? Note: I have not sampled the first of Jelk’s flankers, 2022’s Habit Rouge L'Instinct but, given the almost unanimous negativity surrounding it, it’s not high on my hit list! We’ll be looking at Rouge Prive and the Parfum today.
Habit Rouge EDT (1965)
The concept behind Habit Rouge (or ‘Red Coat’, if translated in to English from its native language) was to create a perfume that brought to mind the jackets worn by the landed gentry when they went hunting. In the UK, we’re no stranger to this nefarious practice - our own fox hunting aristocrats also wore red coats and, despite now being banned, the idea of chasing helpless creatures to their deaths is still a subject of debate in our national politics (with right wing politicians often promising to offer a ‘free vote’ to MPs on the issue to energise their base).
As an animal lover myself, this is perhaps the only element of Habit Rouge I find somewhat jarring. There is nothing within this perfume which brings to mind sport, adrenaline, blood, or violence. I find it somewhat curious, consequently, that Guerlain sought to relate it to hunting. The only thing wearers of Habit Rouge were likely to be chasing on its release were sexual partners!
That statement isn’t made wholly in jest either. Habit Rouge is a gentleman’s fragrance, but it carries within its structure not only aspects of formality and traditional masculinity, but also sensuality and sensitivity. It is, as such, a fragrance well suited to old fashioned romantics. Indeed, if it didn’t have these traits, I’d argue that it wouldn’t have survived for the almost 60 years that it has. When you think about it, it’s almost incredible that, despite how radically concepts of masculinity have changed over the years, Habit Rouge has still been a regular seller for Guerlain, with devotees now spanning across 5 generations.
Created to be the younger brother to the company’s 1925 release, Shalimar it, like its sibling, contains a citrus top note, which descends into a floral heart, before culminating in a vanillic leather and amber base. Habit Rouge is not simply a three card trick, however, and its complete run of notes can be summarised as follows (as per Basenotes):
Top Notes: bergamot, lemon, rosewood, basil, pimento
Heart Notes: sandalwood, carnation, patchouli, cedar, rose, cinnamon
Base Notes: vanilla, amber, moss, leather, benzoin, labdanum, olibanum
When it comes to the head of the perfume, the real star of the show is the bergamot, which radiates wonderfully off the skin when first sprayed. Whilst it is effervescent, though, it is also a powdery affair. In fact, it can most accurately be described as being akin to orange sherbet - fizzing whilst maintaining a chalkiness. It is warm and reassuring as opposed to enthusiastic. It also maintains a cologne like structure, however, by incorporating herbal and spicy notes through the use of basil and rosewood.
This accord is then joined to a rose and carnation-dominant middle phase, through which the powdered facets of the fragrance continue to run, and through which the fragrance begins to show its romantic side.
Finally, the dry down of the fragrance provides a semi-sweet backdrop with the vanilla taking the edge away from the traditionally masculine moss and leather accords and combining with the rest of the ingredients to produce a soft, light amber.
It is not hard to see, in this context, why Habit Rouge has continued to be successful over the years - it, essentially, captures hearts and minds because it resonates with the personality of its wearer in a way that other traditional masculine fragrances can sometimes struggle to do (as they were often, like their owners of the period, more buttoned up).
Habit Rouge - Rouge Prive (2023)
That doesn’t mean that the EdT of Habit Rouge smells like it was composed yesterday, however. It just means that it has aged like a fine wine as opposed to being the perfume equivalent of a kipper tie. In fact, if it were any item of clothing, I’d compare it to a 1960s slim lapelled suit - of its time, but still stylish today.
Still, as the years have gone by, the term ‘legibility’ has become more and more important in the perfume industry, and there now seems to be a distinct trend towards the creation of perfumes whose formulas are more streamlined than Habit Rouge. Or to put it another way, perfumers are being encouraged to reduce the number of notes in a perfume’s composition, with the aim of producing a more direct product. For lovers of vintage fragrances, legibility can be an anathema but, personally, I have no issue with the principle behind the concept. Nor it appears, does Delphine Jelk. Enter Habit Rouge Rouge Prive.
Top Notes:Bergamot, Ginger
Middle Notes: Orange Blossom, Iris
Base Notes: Leather, Patchouli, Vanilla
As can be seen from the notes list, Rouge Prive maintains the structure of Habit Rouge (bergamot, floral, vanillic leather), but switches out or culls a number of the traditional accords that were contained within the original. Gone are the cologne-esque elements. Gone too are the powdery rose and carnation. The leather, meanwhile, has been amped up and modernised - more akin to Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather than Knize 10. Whisper it quietly, but it also seems that Jelk has snuck an oud accord in to the base too.
Given the number of changes, you could be forgiven for thinking that Rouge Prive would end up smelling completely different to the EdT, but fans of the OG need not worry - this is still unmistakably Habit Rouge. To paraphrase Persolaise (my favourite reviewer of perfumes), it’s like the whole perfume has simply been redrawn with clean bold lines. The bergamot continues to shimmer and, in spite of the florals being listed as Orange Blossom and Iris, the ultimate accord generated is still interpreted by my nose as being a rose. It is very much a rouge perfume as opposed to an orange or purple one (which is, incidentally, roughly what you get if you combine an iris hue and orange on a colour wheel…).
Where Rouge Prive differs to the EdT is in its brute strength. The leather note really does have a serious kick to it and, given that, the perfume is pulled from the bottom up, as opposed to the top diffusing off the skin to reveal the heart.
Whilst I’ve always found the EdT to perform quite well, the longevity of the Prive is genuinely outstanding, again due to the material in the base. Pleasingly though, the dry down still does maintain the powdered amber facets contained within the original. It’s a superb flanker that updates Habit Rouge without necessarily ripping up the original composition.
Habit Rouge Parfum (2024)
Not to rest on their laurels, Guerlain have now revisited Habit Rouge again in 2024, introducing a parfum version to go alongside new stablemates Vetiver Parfum and L’Homme Ideal Parfum.
I’ll say in advance that I’m a little sceptical of the allure of parfums myself, as I often find that the actual performance difference between fragrance concentrations can be completely counter-intuitive (I have EdTs that vastly out-perform EDPs and Parfums, both in terms of silage and longevity). In addition, given that Rouge Prive was already quite beastly, the necessity for a parfum to be made only a year later seems curious to me.
Parking those views for the moment though, the theme across these three new releases appears to be alcohol. In the case of Habit Rouge, the drink of choice is listed as rum, although there seems to be confusion in that regard, with Jelk being quoted in the marketing as saying:
For Habit Rouge Le Parfum, I Created a leathery vanilla liqueur with plenty of bold bourbon-inspired intensity
Perhaps Guerlain are suggesting that the perfume has been matured in bourbon casks? Hmm. In any event, the notes list for this one is as follows:
Bergamot, Vanilla, Rum, Patchouli
Well, I did say perfumers were streamlining their notes list, didn’t I!
What’s most striking to me about the Parfum is, firstly, how base heavy it is (we’re talking sub-woofer level) but, secondly, how patchouli dominant it is - there’s a definite chocolate element in that respect, but my nose also detects something slightly medicinal, smoked, and perhaps even burnt (think coffee beans). When combined with the vanilla, the result is a perfume that very much lies within the domain of the gourmand.
This is somewhat a blessing and a curse - if you’re not a particular fan of the EdT or Prive’s floral elements, you’re likely to get along a lot better with the Parfum. At the same time though, I’d argue that the floral heart of Habit Rouge is, to a large extent, key to its DNA, and vastly reducing the components that make this element ‘sing’ lead to a very different fragrance profile.
My second critique is that the perfume, generally, feels less balanced than Rouge Prive. I have no issue with the concept of a Habit Rouge that focuses on patchouli - readers of my previous pieces will know that I’m a huge fan of the note - I just wished that, on a technical level, the Parfum still maintained a decent top end. As it is, the whole thing sits very deep against the skin, with any radiance from the bergamot being buried by the heavier materials. This ultimately leads to a fragrance that, rather than being a sparkling rouge, comes across as a heavy-set chocolate and beige. Because of that, I can’t decide whether or not I’ve truly fallen for the Parfum.
That being said, you honestly couldn’t go wrong with any one of these three and I’ve no doubt they’ll appeal to different elements of the fragrance market. I look forward to Jelk’s next flanker in 2025, even if these variations are becoming a little bit akin to Marge Simpson’s Chanel jacket…!

2024.05.14 19:25 No-Contribution00 the story of michelle d. peacock- adoras bathroom argument
TW: for those who haven’t seen me post this before- Adora uses a cisgendered woman who was killed for being mistaken as transgender, as an argument for trans people using the restroom and their passing ability. I found this news story here: https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/transphobia-impact-gender-stereotypes-advocates/story?id=102129254
the news story explicitly states that Michelle D. Peacock was killed at her apartment complex while she was sitting under a ramada. The murderer, Tommy Earl, knew who Michelle was as Michelle had made complaints about Earl prior. Earl attacked and killed Michelle- motives are not exactly clear, as Earl was having a “psychotic break” and claims that Michelle was a man acting like a woman.
This is where either a race or gender hate crime took place, but unsure if it was specifically gender or race, or a combination of both. Michelle was not in a restroom and her and Earl have had prior contact. Michelle was not just a random stranger walking into the women’s restroom at the time of her death.

2024.05.14 19:24 m1cha3l57a An Honest Review of the Michael Phelps Chilly Goat Cold Plunge by Master Spa
I’m writing this review in the hopes that someone else doesn’t get ripped off like I have
I purchased the Michael Phelps Chilly Goat Cold Plunge in December and took delivery early January.
Normally I only buy products with great reviews and from vendors with great reputations for customer service and product support.
For some reason I ignored all of this when making this purchase. I couldn’t (and still can’t) find a single review from someone whose actually purchased this product. However, I figured if Michael Phelps and Master Spa were going to put their names on it, then it MUST be a good product. Unfortunately that assumption was very wrong, and here’s my honest review.
Upon receipt of the cold plunge, I unwrapped it and got it placed in my garage. Atheistically, the tub is gorgeous. I was extremely happy with the way it looked.
However, once I started unwrapping the components such as the cover, thermostat, filter cover and the covers around the base of the unit, I got the immediate impression that it was all super cheap, bottom of the barrel components. Everything except the white tub itself is extremely flimsy, and cheap. Definitely not what I was expecting from a $9000 cold plunge.
Regardless, I got everything ready so we could get it running once I had the new 20 amp circuit installed. For some reason, in the setup manual it tells you to make sure to wire in a GFCI outlet (even though the plunge whip has a built in GFCI in it already). I had a feeling these two would trip each other out, but I followed the instructions in the manual.
It powered on fine and started working towards getting the water down to the 40 degrees. I then hooked it up to the App (which is a generic app that’s used by many companies selling generic pumps). I tried setting it up to automatically cycle off for most of the day, and cycle on a couple hours before I would be using it.
The next morning I went into the garage to see if it worked.
It didn’t.
The power was off due to the GFCI tripping (just as I thought it would). I reviewed the manual again and it explicitly states that I only use a GFCI, so I powered it back on and tried again. It eventually tripped again, so I contacted support.
This was my first contact with support and the rep “Paul” was helpful. He advised me to try removing the GFCI and replace with a regular outlet. So I did and it worked perfectly. No more tripping the breaker and shutting off.
So now I tried setting the schedule again, and to my delight the cold plunge was at 40 degrees the next morning.
However, what I realized was that it wasn't cycling on or off. It was just staying on the entire time, despite any scheduling I put into the app.
The only way to control the tub (by the way) is by removing the tub skirting and using a small rectangular circuit board that has 4 buttons. Up, down, mode and power. So there’s no way to schedule or do anything with the unit other than turn it off/on, turn the temp up or down, or switch to hot or cold mode. So it looks like scheduling (an advertised feature) wasn’t actually available.
Fast forward a couple months and the cold plunge is working great. It runs 24/7, but it keeps the water right at 40 degrees. I decided I’d like to try the hot side now, so I opened up the app, made sure the mode was on Auto and turned it up to its max.
Now their marketing and manual said that it would be able to get up to temp in a few hours. So I started a timer and watched it. I started it at 5:00 p.m and by 7:30 p.m it went from 40 to 46ish. Definitely not what I was expecting.
So I went to bed, expecting it to be at 104 when I woke up. Fast forward to 8:30 a.m and the tub is only at 73 degrees. At this point I knew for a fact that something was wrong with the unit. So I took a video and added it to my dropbox folder to show support.
I continued to wait and by 11:00 the unit reached 90 degrees. And then at 11:40, it stopped warming up and threw off the error code E20. So I snapped my pictures, added it to the drive and then went into the manual to see what to do about this code.
I then followed the instructions, and reset the machine. It started working again and was able to get to 100 degrees by 12:30 (target temp was 104). However, once it hit this, the machine errored again and threw out E21.
Back to the instruction manual I went, and it said to basically just reset it. So I did, but this time the error code wouldn’t go away. And then the temperature slowly started dropping as I couldn’t get rid of the error code.
Eventually I unplugged the unit and reached out to Paul again. This time he wasn’t as helpful. I sent him the link with all of the videos/photos, but we never really got anywhere until I started getting angry and pressing to return the unit.
At this point he sends me two maintenance companies in my area with their phone numbers (and presented it to me as if it was my responsibility to call them and I would be in charge of paying for it).
This was the last straw for me. I drained the tub and asked to be refunded and return the unit. I’ve been denied over and over, with them citing a 30 day return period. However, my stance on this is that the unit hasn’t worked correctly since the day I bought it. I’ve lost all confidence that this unit will stay in good working condition over a long period of time
Things stalled out from there, so I cooled off and decided to try to get the unit working again. I filled it back up and simply tried to turn it on. Now I’m getting hit with error code E03. I followed the troubleshooting in the manual and it didn’t work (of course).
And now I’m at the end of my wits with this piece of junk.
To anyone considering buying a Michael Phelps Gilly Goat by Master Spa, please heed my warning. Do not.
I may end up being the only actual customer review on the internet for this thing, so please listen to this advice and stay away.
All of the components on this thing are very cheap quality. I have the feeling a large % of our purchase price is going for the rights to use Michael Phelps name, not in getting a quality product.
This unit is in a climate controlled garage. Not exposed to any elements. Yet it took it 18~ hours to go from 40 degrees to 100 degrees (and potentially burned itself out by doing it). The motor doesn’t work at all ever since making that switch. I can’t imagine what it’d do if you actually placed it outside in the elements. There’s no way all of the lines wouldn’t immediately freeze and burst if you did so in the winter.

However, I figured if Michael Phelps and Master Spa were going to put their names on it, then it MUST be a good product. Unfortunately that assumption was very wrong, and here’s my honest review.
Upon receipt of the cold plunge, I unwrapped it and got it placed in my garage. Atheistically, the tub is gorgeous. I was extremely happy with the way it looked.
However, once I started unwrapping the components such as the cover, thermostat, filter cover and the covers around the base of the unit, I got the immediate impression that it was all super cheap, bottom of the barrel components. Everything except the white tub itself is extremely flimsy, and cheap. Definitely not what I was expecting from a $9000 cold plunge.
Regardless, I got everything ready so we could get it running once I had the new 20 amp circuit installed. For some reason, in the setup manual it tells you to make sure to wire in a GFCI outlet (even though the plunge whip has a built in GFCI in it already). I had a feeling these two would trip each other out, but I followed the instructions in the manual.
It powered on fine and started working towards getting the water down to the 40 degrees. I then hooked it up to the App (which is a generic app that’s used by many companies selling generic pumps). I tried setting it up to automatically cycle off for most of the day, and cycle on a couple hours before I would be using it.
The next morning I went into the garage to see if it worked.
It didn’t.
The power was off due to the GFCI tripping (just as I thought it would). I reviewed the manual again and it explicitly states that I only use a GFCI, so I powered it back on and tried again. It eventually tripped again, so I contacted support.
This was my first contact with support and the rep “Paul” was helpful. He advised me to try removing the GFCI and replace with a regular outlet. So I did and it worked perfectly. No more tripping the breaker and shutting off.
So now I tried setting the schedule again, and to my delight the cold plunge was at 40 degrees the next morning.
However, what I realized was that it wasn't cycling on or off. It was just staying on the entire time, despite any scheduling I put into the app.
The only way to control the tub (by the way) is by removing the tub skirting and using a small rectangular circuit board that has 4 buttons. Up, down, mode and power. So there’s no way to schedule or do anything with the unit other than turn it off/on, turn the temp up or down, or switch to hot or cold mode. So it looks like scheduling (an advertised feature) wasn’t actually available.
Fast forward a couple months and the cold plunge is working great. It runs 24/7, but it keeps the water right at 40 degrees. I decided I’d like to try the hot side now, so I opened up the app, made sure the mode was on Auto and turned it up to its max.
Now their marketing and manual said that it would be able to get up to temp in a few hours. So I started a timer and watched it. I started it at 5:00 p.m and by 7:30 p.m it went from 40 to 46ish. Definitely not what I was expecting.
So I went to bed, expecting it to be at 104 when I woke up. Fast forward to 8:30 a.m and the tub is only at 73 degrees. At this point I knew for a fact that something was wrong with the unit. So I took a video and added it to my dropbox folder to show support.
I continued to wait and by 11:00 the unit reached 90 degrees. And then at 11:40, it stopped warming up and threw off the error code E20. So I snapped my pictures, added it to the drive and then went into the manual to see what to do about this code.
I then followed the instructions, and reset the machine. It started working again and was able to get to 100 degrees by 12:30 (target temp was 104). However, once it hit this, the machine errored again and threw out E21.
Back to the instruction manual I went, and it said to basically just reset it. So I did, but this time the error code wouldn’t go away. And then the temperature slowly started dropping as I couldn’t get rid of the error code.
Eventually I unplugged the unit and reached out to Paul again. This time he wasn’t as helpful. I sent him the link with all of the videos/photos, but we never really got anywhere until I started getting angry and pressing to return the unit.
At this point he sends me two maintenance companies in my area with their phone numbers (and presented it to me as if it was my responsibility to call them and I would be in charge of paying for it).
This was the last straw for me. I drained the tub and asked to be refunded and return the unit. I’ve been denied over and over, with them citing a 30 day return period. However, my stance on this is that the unit hasn’t worked correctly since the day I bought it. I’ve lost all confidence that this unit will stay in good working condition over a long period of time
Things stalled out from there, so I cooled off and decided to try to get the unit working again. I filled it back up and simply tried to turn it on. Now I’m getting hit with error code E03. I followed the troubleshooting in the manual and it didn’t work (of course).
And now I’m at the end of my wits with this piece of junk.
To anyone considering buying a Michael Phelps Gilly Goat by Master Spa, please heed my warning. Do not.
I may end up being the only actual customer review on the internet for this thing, so please listen to this advice and stay away.
All of the components on this thing are very cheap quality. I have the feeling a large % of our purchase price is going for the rights to use Michael Phelps name, not in getting a quality product.
This unit is in a climate controlled garage. Not exposed to any elements. Yet it took it 18~ hours to go from 40 degrees to 100 degrees (and potentially burned itself out by doing it). The motor doesn’t work at all ever since making that switch. I can’t imagine what it’d do if you actually placed it outside in the elements. There’s no way all of the lines wouldn’t immediately freeze and burst if you did so in the winter.
2024.05.14 19:20 DANJCOLEMAN1991 Sound Like ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Pt.2: Kensuke Kita (2024 version)
 | IntroductionKensuke Kita performing live, 2017^(\This article is an updated version of my "Sound Like" article from 2021. I have reposted this article due to difficulties editing the original version*, and have included additional information and recommendations based on the increased popularity of amp simulator pedals*)*Hello fellow musicians and Ajikan fans! I have been a fan of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION for roughly 16 years and as a guitarist was greatly inspired by the band's alt rock sound. After a few years of research I have written a series of "sound like" articles for ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION. The purpose of these articles is to provide context on how the band create their signature sound, and to support beginning musicians or tribute acts who may wish to replicate it. At the end of each article I have drafted a Budget Rig, which you could use for both at home and in a live environment. I have also provided some general amp settings to tweak and try, which are based on the band's live sound and be can used to help replicate their tones. This is a 3-part series and if you enjoy this article I would recommend checking out the other articles: Sound Like ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Pt.1: Masafumi Gotoh (2024 version) : AsianKungFuGeneration (reddit.com) ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Sound Like Part 3: Yamada : AsianKungFuGeneration (reddit.com) To help you recognise the individual guitar tones, Gotch's guitar parts are normally panned to the left earphone and Kita's are panned to the right earphone on the band's albums. (On 2016's Sol-Fa, Hometown and some of the Planet Folks singles the panning was swapped, with Gotch instead in the right ear and Kita on the left) Kensuke KitaKita during the Hometown UK/FR tour 2019In this article we are focusing on lead guitarist and backing vocalist Kensuke Kita. Responsible for many of the band's iconic melodies and riffs, Kita's rig setup is a classic rock setup: A Gibson Les Paul into a Marshall-esque amp. Inspired by 90's alt rock and Brit Pop groups such as Supergrass, Blur, Manic Street Preachers and Radiohead, Kita has constantly evolved as a musician and became more involved with the song writing process from Fanclub onwards. (Kita has writing credits on Blue Train) This evolution can be seen clearly when you compare the punk rock style of Houkai Amplifier with the more experimental, pop inspired Planet Folks. While the earlier records reflected a focus on riffs and octave chord melodies, Kita now prefers playing major and minor third chords, triad chords and arpeggios, reflecting his "melody-maker" role in the band. A triad chord is a chord made of 3 separate notes. They are commonly played on the higher strings and Kita uses them a lot, in tracks such as Aru Machi no Gunjou, Sayonara Lost Generation and Gekkou. Major and Minor third chords are sometimes referred to as Dyads.During live performances Kita will experiment with ambient tones, but remains the lead guitar sound, with Gotch acting as a anchor for the overall band. GUITARSKita's primary guitar is a Gibson Les Paul. You want to capture the power and sustain of the humbucker pickups, so single coils will generally not work. Furthermore, I would not recommend active pickups, such as EMG pickups, and to avoid anything that creates too much gain. Remember, Kita sound is rooted in a traditional rock setup.His most recognisable and iconic guitar is his Historic Collection 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue. Kita bought the 59's reissue in 2004 and has been a mainstay ever since, using it on every Ajikan album from Fanclub onwards. Kita's Historic Collection 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Kita's backup guitar is a Historic Collection 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue, which is also used for Eb/D# standard tuning for songs such as After Dark, Yoru No Call and Empathy. Kita's other standout guitar is his Gibson ES-335, which is used occasionally for songs with a capo. A good example of this would be the live performance of Natsu no Hi, Zanzou from the 10th Anniversary shows and live performances of Juuni Shinhou no Yuukei and Maigo Inu to Ame no Beat. Kita has also experimented with Fender Telecasters, Jazzmasters and Stratocasters on the band's albums, although neither have been seen on stage so far. In a interview with Guitar Magazine, Kita confirmed that he used a Fender Jazzmaster on Empathy. Kita with his Gibson ES-335, during the Quarter Century Tour If you are looking to capture Kita's guitar sound, a Les Paul style guitar with vintage sounding pickups would be the best place to start. Between 2002-2007, Kita armed his Les Pauls with Gibson Burstbucker 2 in the bridge position and the Burstbucker 1 in the neck position. Since 2007, Kita has used Custombuckers in both positions. Like Gotch, Kita uses Tortex Flex picks and are most likely .73mm or .88mm variants AMPLIFIERSIn the band's early years of success, Kita used a Marshall JCM 900-4100 head with a Marshall 1960A cabinet. In late 2005, Kita replaced the Marshall amp with the Bogner Ecstasy 101b and Bogner 4x12 Cabinet, which he has used ever since as his main live amplifier.Kita's JCM900 amp, used during the early 2000's and Sol-Fa 2004 tour The Bogner has 3 channel settings, with the "green" channel based on traditional Vox amp, the "blue" channel based on a Marshall JCM800 & Marshall Plexi and the "Red" channel as a higher drive channel. The Bogner also has a boost feature that Kita uses for solos. Both the JCM900 and Ecstasy amps are based on vintage Marshall sounds, whereas the modern Marshall amps have a darker, more compressed sound. Between 2000-2011 Kita would only use the Marshall or Bogner stack for live performances and simply switch between the amp channels. In 2012, Kita introduced the Shinos Luck 6V combo to his live setup. The Shinos amps were set up by a former VOX Chief engineer and in general has a blend of Fender and Vox amps sound wise. They have also been compared to Matchless amps, which Kita has used occasionally on international tours. Kita's Bogner Ecstasy 101b and Shinos Luck V6 Kita has experimented with more amplifiers in the studio and has been known to use JCM800's, VOX and Matchless amps on albums, but for the purpose of this article we will keep the focus on matching his vintage Marshall & Bogner tone. Kita's clean sound can be heard on Angou No Waltz, Mustang and Yuugure no Aka, while his distorted sound can be heard on Standard, Re:Re: and Kouya wo Aruke. Kita used 4x12 Greenback speakers in his Marshall cabinet (this was 2004 sound & since 2005 he has likely use Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. The Shino is likely set up with a Celestion Classic Lead 80 speaker.) PEDALSAlongside the amp pairing, Kita uses a wide variety of pedals that has only grown in recent years. Previously, Kita stuck to a small collection of pedals which included a delay pedal and a preamp pedal.Kita's 2004 pedalboard, used during the Sol-Fa tour This collection has since rapidly grown, but has generally included a compressor, phaser, wah and a delay. During the Eizo Sakushin Shu Vol. 6 performance, where he used a Boss DD-20 Giga Delay, an MXR M-132 Super Comp, Boss PH-2 Super Phaser, a Guyatone WR3 Wah Rocker and VoxV847 Wah pedal. Kita also used a BOSS TR-2 Tremolo at this time. Kita's 2009 Pedalboard, which was used during the Eizo Sakushin Shu Vol. 6 performance The Super Comp is used as a boost for lead melodies and solos, and the Super Phaser can be heard in performances of Mustang and Shinkokyuu. The Giga Delay can be heard in tracks such as Night Diving, Re:Re: and Mugen Glider, as well as the band's ambient jams. The Wah Rocker can be heard in Kugenuma Surf & Enoshima Escar Since 2010 Kita's pedal board has gradually evolved to include more delay & modulation effects. (Such as the Boss Harmonist and BOSS MD-200 Modulation) He has also used fuzz and distortion pedals from time to time. For example, he has added the BOSS Tone Bender and Earthquaker Transmisser for ambient noises between tracks. In recent years, Kita has also used octave pedals for lead parts (which recreates what the guitarist plays but at a higher or lower pitch), such as Blood Circulator, Boys & Girls and Clock Work. The Electro Harmonix POG2, which can be seen on his current rig below, is used for the intro of Kakato de Ai o Uchinarase. Kita's current 2022 Pedalboard: (1) FREE THE TONE/JB-41S (Junction Box) (2) Jim Dunlop/535Q Crybaby Multi-Wah (Wow Pedal) (3) Custom Audio Japan/RS 616 (Programmable Switcher) (4)MXSuper Comp (Compressor) (5) Electro-Harmonix/POG2 (Octave) (6) BOSS/TB-2W (Fuzz) (7)EarthQuaker Devices/Transmisser (Modulation/Reverb) (8) strymon/ZELZAH (multi-phaser) (9) BOSS/MD-200 (multi-modulation) (10)(11) BOSS/DD-20 (multi-delay) (12) BOSS/FRV-1 (reverb) (13) Electro-Harmonix/FREEZE (sustainer)(14) BOSS/FS-5U (foot switch) (15) BOSS/TU-2s (tuner) (16) RJM/Amp Gizmo (amplifier channel switcher) (17) FIREGLOW/PPS-05 (power supply) (18) Vital Audio/VA-08 Mk-II (Power Supply) To help manage his massive pedalboard on stage, Kita has been using a Custom Audio Switcher to control his pedals, which also allows him to create "loops" of saved settings for each song. I've included a list of his pedals from the current board on the picture below. The guitar runs into the Junction box (top right) and wah pedal before going into the switcher. Kita can control the Comp and reverb from the switcher, along with the amp settings. The guitar line then runs from the Dyna Comp through the rest of the pedals, which are controlled in separate loops by the switcher, before running into an amp switcher for the Bogner and Shinos. You can see these loops below: Loop 1: Dyna Comp Loop 2: Dyna Comp, POG 2, Tone Bender, Transmisser Loop 3: Dyna Comp, Zelzah Loop 4: Dyna Comp, BOSS MD-200 (using the tremolo effect) Loop 5: Dyna Comp, 2x BOSS DD-20s Loop 6: Dyna Comp, 63' Fender ReverbKita has a few additional pedals on the board, such as the Electro Harmonix Freeze, which can hold a note for a sustained amount of time and a separate BOSS footswitch to tap in a count for his delay sound. While this may seem complicated (and it is!) bear in mind that many of the pedals are to recreate certain sounds from the band's 10 albums, or to allow Kita to experiment during live performances. You do not need to build a pedalboard this big to sound like Kita. Instead, I would focus on Kita's main pedals, which include the MXR Super Comp, his two Boss DD-20 Giga Delay pedals, the Dunlop535Q Crybaby Multi-Wah, the Strymon ZELZAH (phase) and BOSS MD-200. (phase/auto-wah/tremolo) Sound Like Kita ...On a BudgetKita, Quarter Century tour, 2022To buy Kita's current rig would cost thousands of pounds (the 59' Les Paul alone could be worth £5,000) so much like the Gotch's post we have a few more affordable options that could get you close. The idea is to create a rig that can be used at home or in small venues to perform live. Also bear in mind that information provided are based on Kita's Live setup, which is aimed at finding a medium between all of the sounds formed on the albums. Please also note that these are personal suggestions as a fan and if you find that works better for you, then great! The main areas to consider are:
In terms of guitar options there are plenty of Les Paul copies, but for look and sound Epiphone is a no-brainer. The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard is the newer, more expensive option but is based on the 59' Les Paul model, much like Kita's main guitar. You can buy one for around £749. Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard The more affordable option is the Epiphone Les Paul Standard '50s, which is also a solid pick and goes for around £500. AMPLIFIER In terms of affordable amps, Bogner have recently released the Ecstasy Mini 30W Head which costs around £349. You would need a speaker to plug the head into, this solid-state amp would get you close to Kita's sound and could be used for gigging with a big enough speaker. Bogner Ecstasy Mini 30W Head You could also try out the Marshall MG50 and Marshall Origin amps as affordable Marshall amps with a classic sound, closer to the JCM900/Bogner style. Another approach you could take would be to use the Bogner Ecstasy pedals, which are pedals designed to emulate the Bogner Ecstasy amps. (Please bear in mind that you would need to tweak the settings more to work with the amp you use) The BOSS Katana series and Blackstar amps (which have a dial to set a more British sound) have Marshall-esque settings and could also work, but would require more tweaking. PEDALS There are a wide variety of pedals to choose from, but to keep the pedal suggestions simple but versatile. Because of its importance to Kita's sound, I would recommend the MXR Super Comp. MXR Super Comp A great example of how this would sound can be on tako wasa YouTube channel, who demonstrated the pedal on this live stream. (tako also has a solid pedal board that is worth taking inspiration from!) An alternative approach would be to buy a Booster pedal to create the same effect, such as the Xotic EP-3 Boost A delay pedal is also must for a sound like rig (Especially those keen to play the Re:Re: 2016 intro) and so the recommendation would be a Boss DD Delay pedals. The DD-6 or DD-8 are more affordable options that can definitely do the job, while the DD-200 gives you a more versatile option and the ability to save pre-sets for different tracks. Boss DD-8 Cheaper alternatives that you could also consider are the Tone City Tape Machine and the TC Electronic Flashback 2 Mini, which are both good options for the price. Another pedal for Kita's sound to consider would be a Wah pedal. As the Dunlop535Q Crybaby is quite a steep price for casual players, so I would recommend the Vox 845 Wah Wah Pedal. At £69 its considerably cheaper than the Dunlop535Q and should get close to Kita's original Wah sound. Finally, we are going to focus on the modulation sounds for Kita, and ultimately this is down to preference and what songs you would like to emulate. BOSS MD-200 If you wanted to have a mix of sounds, the BOSS MD-200, which Kita uses, covers many of the sounds he uses, including the phaser, auto-Wah and tremolo sounds. For more specific roles, the BOSS PH-3 Phase Shifter will get you close to his original phase sound (try to avoid the Phase 90 style pedals for Kita's sound), while the BOSS Harmonist or a different Octave pedal would help capture some of his lead tones for the current era. You could also consider a reverb pedal if you want to capture some of the ambient sounds Kita creates live or if the amp you choose doesn't include reverb. AMP SIMULATOR PEDAL OPTIONS? The final option to consider would be a Amp Simulator pedal. This type of pedal has become increasingly popular in the last few years and would be used in place of a traditional amp and effect pedals. You would then use the Amp Simulator with a IR Cabinet (a powered cabinet speaker) or with a Power Amp in between the Amp Simulator and a traditional cabinet. They can be fairly expensive to buy and I would only advise buying one if you do intend to move on from your traditional amp/pedal setup, however the Quad Cortex DSP & Headrush Pedalboard would be good starting points. They are both aimed at capturing more traditionally hi gain amps such as the Bogner and Marshall amps, so should be able to do a good job at capturing Kita's sound. Recommended Amp SettingsThe following amp settings were based on photos from live performances and you should bear in mind that the volume may be quite loud for home use, so I would suggest bringing it down. Also bear in mind that every musician and amp will slightly differ so you may need to tweak with your settings to find the right blend.My personal advice is to keep the gain around the middle and to use the volume to crunch up the sound. Kita does use a cabinet, so you may need to add more low end for a combo amp, and again bear in mind that the volume may need to be lower for home use. Shino Luck V6: Vol: 5, Treble: 5, Middle: 5, Bass: 3.5, Master: 3.5, Boost: 7, Level: 4 Bogner Green Setting: Presence A: 8.5, Presence B: 8, Vol. 1: 5, Treble: 4:5, Mid: 4, Gain 1: 5.5 Bogner Blue Setting: Vol. 2: 5.5, Vol. 3: 5.5, Treble: 5, Middle: 5/5.5, Bass: 5, Gain 2: 4.5, Gain 3: 5.5 ConclusionThank you again for reading this and I hope it's been insightful for you.

Here’s what I know it’s not: Fuse: I have power at the end of the wire from the battery submitted by OffRoadToad to CarAV [link] [comments] Ground: good ground spot, and ground wire is grounding power. Remote wire: the light for remote wire is turning on. All the parts are new parts so it’s not age that’s affecting it. I know the amp is receiving power and also grounding said power from testing. So why won’t the amp turn on? For reference the red light on the amp will turn on. The green will not This is my first time doing this btw so maybe I’m making some rookie mistake lol |

2024.05.14 17:38 Enzdude Sub amp stopped working/may be stuck in protect mode
Hey y’all,
I have a Kenwood KAC-9102D pushing a JL12w3v2. Over the past week, I had one instance where the subwoofer completely dipped. I went to my amp with my multimeter on DC and only found 4 volts between power and ground. After lots of fiddling around, it eventually just started working again so I left it at that.
Fast forward to last night. It completely dipped again so I go to check the amp again. This time the power light isn’t even on and the current is less than 1 volt. No blown fuses, I even disconnected the power line and checked current between it and the power tap on the amp and it was a full 12 volts, same from the power line to ground. As soon as I reconnected it, it dipped to barely anything again. There is a full 12 volts from remote to ground. I’m thinking either the amp is stuck in protect mode or a solder joint or two came loose. This is an old amp and I am not the original owner of it, this was part of a bundle of hand-me-down gear I got from a friend of mine. I would love to hear input from the community before I jump the gun on a new amp purchase.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If anyone also has input on why my old KAC-PS300T always blows the power line fuse as soon as it gets remote signal, that would be nice. That sucker hit hard for my front stage.

2024.05.14 17:22 downtown-6 Overdrive suggestions to replace my EHX Glove?
The Glove has served me well but the switch is having issues – last night during rehearsal sound cut out completely when I stepped on it. I’d like to replace it with something that generally does a similar thing but is more reliable (and hopefully sounds even better).
I pair it with a Tumnus Deluxe (Glove first), with the Tumnus covering light breakup (gain at 1pm) the Glove doing a mid-gain crunch rhythm (gain at 10-11pm), and both stacked for leads.
Amps: Clean amps, a Blues Jr at home, and a variety of different things at rehearsal spaces/backlines, sometimes solid state. Lately I’ve been using a Vox Silk Drive end of chain for more consistency and a tube-y feel for SS amps.
Guitars: Usually SSS strat, sometimes a 335
Sounds: Classic rock (Beatles, Doors, Led Zeppelin) to 2000s (Black keys, Strokes, Arctic Monkeys). No metal or anything too heavy, most gain I’d need would be like Nirvana/STP.
Requirements:

Requirements:
- Full-frequency-ish (neither a huge mid scoop or hump, or even better, adjustable mids)
- Dynamic/touch-sensitive, cleans up well with volume roll-off (dare I say “amp-like”?)
- Good gain range with lots of usable sounds
- Not picky about amps or pedals stacked with it
- Volume is really sensitive – unity is at like 9-10pm and it needs to be set pretty precisely
- The tone/eq isn’t very flexible
- The clipping can sometimes sound a bit harsh/thin, compared to say Marshall amp distortion which sounds richefuller
2024.05.14 17:02 vespertine_earth I think I opened a can of electrics worms… 15 or 20A receptacle in house on 30A circuit breaker?
Yesterday I plugged something in to one of my normal power outlets. It’s a regular looking 15A receptacle. Well, it was sparking and so I figured there must be a short. I opened to outlet and saw that the hot wire had fallen off one terminal and was all melted and burned. The wires weren’t looped and secured, just straight and barely connected for the other 3. It also wasn’t grounded as there was no pigtail coming to the ground screw. At least it’s copper wire.
So I want to replace outlet, correctly. I noticed at the store that there is a mix of 15 and 20A outlets. I thought I should confirm the amperage on the circuit breaker so I looked…it’s 30A. So now what?! I don’t think I should put a lower amp outlet on the circuit but I’m not sure.
Is this a job bigger than my tiny skills? When we bought the house the inspector said it had some “wonky wiring” but wasn’t concerning. We’ve discovered that various other outlets do not work either sometimes or all the time. There are two breaker boxes (one in utility room and one outside, mix of amperages ranging from 15-40A, a solar system, prehistoric hot tub connections and more. Well I’m certainly concerned now!
What’s my move here?

2024.05.14 16:15 ConsistentCookie2615 Vent about life (if trip niyu lang basahin lol) [UPD]
I don’t feel like myself anymore.
This second sem as a freshie, compared to the first, mas lighter workload ko ngayon. Currently nagreretake ako ng math course. One of the other major subjects I am taking are My bio lab & lec which, well, kala ko, mapapanis ko. Ever since talaga my elementary days to HS days, biology was something I considered as my forte, lalo na dream ko magpursue ng med one day.
So with the start ng second sem, I was excited, with bio being there (& my plans to shift to this course), and mej nalax aq konti with math, knowing na, Ive been through this before, I could not possibly fail this again.
Fast forward to present day me, I am on the verge of failing bio & math (again:(). At first it was ONLY 1 failed exam for both, then next thing ik, wala pa akong napapasa na exam, kahit isa. AND I am just so frustrated, sad, dissapointed, angry, & tired.
What am I doing wrong? Nag-aaral naman ako super hard, I am pushing myself to heights I never thought I could even reach, I Fucked up my sleep schedule para lang sa studies ko. Yet, despite ALL this, I am ending up as a failure……
What. In. The. Actual. Fuck Universe.
With all these dissapointing results, there are days wherein, di ako makatayo, nakahiga lang or nakatulala aq from my bed. Nawawalan ako ng ganang kumain. Fuck, I am not even aiming for 1s or 2s, amp kahit tres lang, kahit pang removals, im ok, I just want to pass. I want to be able to feel na my hardwork was worth it. The sleepless nights and my deteriorating health, I wanna feel like kahit papaano, nakapagyield ako ng passing marks in the end.
As for my family, honestly, they are not even that strict, kahit 3, masayang masaya sila. But failing & retaking the subject wholly Is not an option again. After failing math & telling them that I need to retake it, grabe dissapointment sa mga mata nila. They told me stuff bout how yeah, obviously ako very dissapointed cause I was the one working my ass off this only to end up retaking the subject, but mas sila daw ang nadidisappoint(?) like iba daw as a parent yung dissapointment, lalo na carrying the fact na ur child failed overall a subject in school. Hindi daw normal yung pag fail ng isang subject sa college. Siguro I understand (or try to) where they are coming from, but idk, parang a bit unfair lang for me yung thought na, mas sila daw ang nadidisappoint?? Mas sila daw ang may burden na ito?? Like as much as I wanted to scream or tell them na “No, you have no right to tell me na mas mabigat toh for you, na the burden Is lighter on my end, NO!”, I cant. At the end of the day, they are my parents. Anyways yun, idk if maaaccept pa ba nila kung niretake ko tong math for the 2nd time, as they said, and I quote, “this Is the first & last time you are going to let this happen. hindi ito normal.”
So ayun, with all that, I am even questioning myself if I am really deserving of UP. If I am good enough to be a doctor one day, if I am even strong enough to endure it.
Everyday nalang, I feel this darkness looming. Subtle siya sa mornings, but very strong niya sa gabi. I tried to fight it before, the monster of my anxieties & doubt, but lately, I just let it. I let it consume me, I let it beat me up to shit. I am starting to get tired of fighting. Nakakapagod ipaglaban ang isang bagay na, sa huli, ididisappoint ka lang.
Idk what to do anymore tbh.
So yun, thank u for giving a bit of ur time reading this. Di ko man kayu nakikita or kilala, but I am very grateful & appreciative of you:)

2024.05.14 15:31 Jonnymixinupmedicine Being an Industrial musician is difficult.
I play more Industrial/Punk/Metal, but it all must still be sequenced, or things like bass recorded DI into my MPC and routed out to a bass amp. Everything goes through a “real amp” for that matter except for synths, samples, vocals, and one drum machine, a Yamaha RX5. My other drum module, a Roland TD-17 is more supposed to more simulate a live drummer. It still goes through an old Crate Keyboard amp as well and adds to the vibe. I hope Albini is proud because now I gotta haul all this shit lol.
I’m going for a Nailbomb and 88’ Ministry type thing, but with even more industrial elements. More samples, drum machines, and synths. More chaotic like Skinny Puppy, or Coil. More noise that isn’t feedback or chug guitar. Do any industrial musicians have any suggestions?
I’ve considered recording guitar riffs and playing them through my Emax and into an amp, but I’m a much better guitarist than keyboardist, and the live element helps a bit. Plus I’d rather keep the Emax at home.
It feels like I’m playing with angry robots despite being glued to the guitamic. I’ve considered adding a Kaoss Pad to the end of my guitar chain or use as a send. Even still, I just wish I had a bit more freedom to focus on vocals, twist some knobs (instead or automate), maybe hit a piece of sheet metal with a contact mic, play with fx, but it’s not something I can do unless I’ve got someone on stage helping. Shit, do I need a collaborator?
IDK. I’m just out here by myself trying to make the most of what I can. It’s difficult being 35 and even more difficult trying to find musicians who want to try new things and are into such a niche genre as it is.
I tried showing a guy who came over to jam Too Dark Park and he was genuinely confused, especially by the intro, but that’s the kind of shit I love. That crazy build up before he says “heavens trash…”
“Yeah, I don’t know about this.” lol. To be fair he loved Pailhead.
Edit; here’s some of my older tracks. Some made with simply a Beatstep pro and some made with an MPC. In backwards chronological order.

2024.05.14 15:21 chug2k Race Report: Danang Vietnam 70.3 IM
My second 70.3, and my first Oly was two years ago. I swam JV for one year in high school, owned a road bike in college, and never understood how people could enjoy running. Now that I'm older (38M) ... I think I kind of "get" why people run now. It's nice. Maybe I can get into golf next, never understood that one either.
tl;dr - rookie mistake, had a great bike, terrible run. This is exactly what happened on my first 70.3 six months ago and I can't believe I did the exact same thing again. Already planning my next 70.3.
Total time: 6:10 (massive asterisk, swim course was truncated to 750m because of conditions). My target time was 6:30 (with the swim), I would've missed it. Bike split and run split were both 2:53.
Training: I didn't follow a plan, and I think that was a mistake, but I did keep it up pretty consistently. I was averaging about 10 hours a week between running / biking / swimming. 98% of my bike was done indoors, because road conditions in Vietnam (I moved here a few years ago from the US) are a little scary for me. I try to ride with the A/C off when it comes near the race to get more heat-acclimated.
Diet: My weird thing is that for my first 70.3, I was on keto. I didn't believe everyone when they said it was dumb, and it took bonking on that race to realize that you were all right. So since then have adapted to the exact opposite diet (also probably dumb) where I'm all vegan, except for whey protein powder.
Race
Swim: The surf was at about 2m overhead, and kind of big and challenging. I was excited for it, as really it's not that bad once you duck dive out past the waves. Unfortunately, the day before the race, a group who was just warming up got swept out and had a hard time coming back in. No one died but one guy had to be CPR'ed back to life on the beach. So instead, they had us run 300m, swim 750m parallel to the beach, and run another 300m. This was super lame because it was hardly a swim at all - I walked for 740 of those meters, as I realized that I was walking way faster than the people trying to swim. I'm a little bit tall so I think that helped (188cm, 6'2"), and I know how to surf a little bit so when big waves would come in, I knew how to duck dive easily under them. As a result everyone's swim times were 10-14min. I did mine in 13.
Bike: Based on heavy Reddit opinion I got a bike fit, by this super specialist who happened to be hanging out in Vietnam (www.instagram.com/fit\_by\_antoniopavlovich/). It made my bike ride about 50% more comfortable. My back was getting really sore 50km in, but before it would happen at around 20-30km. I do long Zwift rides on that bike but at home I can't help but cheat and sit up/back in the seat and stretch things out, I don't have the discipline to stay on the hood/drops once things start hurting. Anyway the bike was my best performance yet and I was really pacing myself (or so I thought). The course only has one slight climb up a bridge, and normally I'm more of a puncheur type, or at least that's what intervals.icu tells me. I kept it pretty conservative on the bike but when people would zoom by me I would try to keep up with them - not to draft (I am too scared to ride close enough for that) but just because I just wanted to feel like somebody. Anyway I thought I kept all my matches and so at the end pushed a little harder.
Towards the end of the bike ride, I was actively regretting not pushing harder earlier, and wondering if I was ready for a full ironman. There's one in October in Gurye South Korea, and I was doing some math in my head about whether or not 5 months would be enough to train.
Run: My normal easy long run pace is around 6:30min/km, and I ran slow and found myself running 5:40. So I tried to cut it back but I was so amped and I had read people on reddit setting HM PB's during their races. So I decided to play it safe at around 6:15, and then I'd kick back to 5:40 after km 10.
3km later, I started cramping in ways I'd never cramped before. I thought I had taken in enough salt, and I think I did. I think I just pushed it too hard - after being keto for so long, I was really on top of my nutrition and carbs (over 60g/hr) and I think I had tons of energy, but my muscles just couldn't take it.
But I kept running gingerly, I could feel the muscles on the verge of cramping but they were kind of holding it together. I ran the first 5km in 32 min, so about my 6:15 pace. Then my left knee just kinda gave out. I think I was running weird to avoid stressing my about-to-cramp muscles and that just messed up my knee. I was hoping I could just keep running and the pain would go away but no, it wouldn't. I was wondering if I could just goggins my way through it... but it kinda hurt a lot and I was wondering if I could do permanent damage if I kept running through it. So I decided to walk for just a bit, stretch it out. Then try to see if I could run on it again.
Eventually it was just all walking all the time, any impact on the left leg was too painful. So I tried my best to racewalk, although I'd never done that before. It was awful and I hated it but it was the only way to keep my knee from screaming. My heart rate couldn't get up (I finished the last 2 hours in basically Z1, low Z2) because if I racewalked too fast my knee would still complain. So my Garmin was just taunting me saying "Easy" when I was on the HR screen.
But I finished, and it was cool. My wife ran her first HM in a relay with her coworkers, and did it in 2:35, which I was so proud of but also kind of embarrassed about, because I was always cagey about training together because I wanted to run at a faster pace than her.
Two days later my knee feels fine, just took it on a quick bike ride and it hurt a little but I don't think I did any real damage. Going up and down stairs the day after the race was painful though.
I love triathlon stuff. I want to get a real sub 6 soon, will work on the run. And yeah, about that full ironman - definitely not ready in 5 months. But in 17? I think so. If anyone is doing Gurye South Korea 2025, give me a shout. :)

tl;dr - rookie mistake, had a great bike, terrible run. This is exactly what happened on my first 70.3 six months ago and I can't believe I did the exact same thing again. Already planning my next 70.3.
Total time: 6:10 (massive asterisk, swim course was truncated to 750m because of conditions). My target time was 6:30 (with the swim), I would've missed it. Bike split and run split were both 2:53.
Training: I didn't follow a plan, and I think that was a mistake, but I did keep it up pretty consistently. I was averaging about 10 hours a week between running / biking / swimming. 98% of my bike was done indoors, because road conditions in Vietnam (I moved here a few years ago from the US) are a little scary for me. I try to ride with the A/C off when it comes near the race to get more heat-acclimated.
Diet: My weird thing is that for my first 70.3, I was on keto. I didn't believe everyone when they said it was dumb, and it took bonking on that race to realize that you were all right. So since then have adapted to the exact opposite diet (also probably dumb) where I'm all vegan, except for whey protein powder.
Race
Swim: The surf was at about 2m overhead, and kind of big and challenging. I was excited for it, as really it's not that bad once you duck dive out past the waves. Unfortunately, the day before the race, a group who was just warming up got swept out and had a hard time coming back in. No one died but one guy had to be CPR'ed back to life on the beach. So instead, they had us run 300m, swim 750m parallel to the beach, and run another 300m. This was super lame because it was hardly a swim at all - I walked for 740 of those meters, as I realized that I was walking way faster than the people trying to swim. I'm a little bit tall so I think that helped (188cm, 6'2"), and I know how to surf a little bit so when big waves would come in, I knew how to duck dive easily under them. As a result everyone's swim times were 10-14min. I did mine in 13.
Bike: Based on heavy Reddit opinion I got a bike fit, by this super specialist who happened to be hanging out in Vietnam (www.instagram.com/fit\_by\_antoniopavlovich/). It made my bike ride about 50% more comfortable. My back was getting really sore 50km in, but before it would happen at around 20-30km. I do long Zwift rides on that bike but at home I can't help but cheat and sit up/back in the seat and stretch things out, I don't have the discipline to stay on the hood/drops once things start hurting. Anyway the bike was my best performance yet and I was really pacing myself (or so I thought). The course only has one slight climb up a bridge, and normally I'm more of a puncheur type, or at least that's what intervals.icu tells me. I kept it pretty conservative on the bike but when people would zoom by me I would try to keep up with them - not to draft (I am too scared to ride close enough for that) but just because I just wanted to feel like somebody.

2024.05.14 13:27 nberardi What size panel/service should I get for a new build?
I am in the middle of building a house that is roughly 2000 sqft of living area. It is nothing super fancy, but it does only have electric service. There will be no gas available, unless I install a tank which I don’t want to do.
My main question is for all the experts in this group. What size panel/service should I get for a new build?
I will have two level (2) EV chargers at 50 amps each, electric heat pump, electric AC, electric range, electric water heater, electric washer and electric dryer. As well as all the normal needs of a 2000 sqft household that has 4 bedrooms.
My builder is saying 200 Amp service should be fine, but I am concerned he isn’t accounting for the EV’s. Or under estimating the draw potential for the cars pulling potentially 40 Amps each for long periods of time while charging.
Also while I have you all here, do you have any preferences on panels between Eaton, Square D, and Leviton? I do like their smart breaker design on the latter, but definitely would want quality over neat features.

2024.05.14 09:28 VolarRecords That WW2 UFO Footage is possibly narrated by David Grusch?
Not my text, resposting:
https://www.reddit.com/UFOs/comments/1crmb60/that_ww2_ufo_footage_is_possibly_narrated_by/
Props to for pointing this out!
And for this post.
Listen to the audio starting from :20 seconds up until :50 seconds on that clip that has been making the rounds. Grusch has a very particular inflection and pauses with “ahhh”, during that timeframe he does that about 3 times. He has a particular speech pattern that would be hard to disguise even with modulation.
Now listen to his opening statements here at the start from :10 to :35 he does the exact same type of inflections as in the distorted audio! Listen to them back to back, once you recognize the vocal patterns in his voice, the modulation does not hide that it is him. Why/how would RegicideAnon have a video that Grusch narrated???
Edit: this is the WW2 Archive Footage I am referring to
Edit2: pointed out his T’s also sound the same. In the opening statements at 1:08 you can hear how he ends “Current” and it ends very similarly to how he ends “It” and “Compensate” at :35 in the archived footage.
Edit3: Do Up/Downvotes affect post visibility? I only ask since from when I posted this almost an hour ago it has sat at 0, which is kinda strange that it’s being downvoted so heavily?
EDIT4: Okay so this one is a little weird, and very tinfoil-y I admit, but I feel I should point this out: Here is David Grusch’s resume
Note that during the timeframe this video was released, and around the time that MH370 occurred, David was:
July 2014 – December 2016, Adjunct Professor, School of Security and Global Studies, American Public University System (APUS)
• Undergraduate school professor developing technical coursework and program plans. Expertly instructed courses in the Intelligence Studies track, to include open source/social media analysis, signals and imagery analysis, and research methods.
December 2013 – March 2016, Chief, Intelligence Integration Division, Space Security and Defense Program (SSDP), Reston, VA (USAF Active Duty)
• Lead military intelligence officer for the SSDP Director, a member of the Senior Executive Service (SES) advising the Deputy Secretary of Defense (DEPSECDEF), Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence (PDDNI), and National Security Council (NSC). Coordinated sensitive Multi-INT collection activities and modeling/simulation to support national space security objectives and advanced NSG programs. SSDP intelligence lead for the standup of the National Space Defense Center (NSDC).
It’s possible that during his time at the university he was analyzing and restoring WW2 archival footage? In order to verify this we’d have to find someone that knew him around that time frame to confirm or deny that he spoke of this previously.
The second thing that stood out to me was “Coordinated sensitive Multi-INT collection activities and modeling/simulation to support national space security objectives and advanced NSG programs.” I know with the recent MH370 video going around people are saying that if it WAS a hoax it would need to be created with someone with military access and very very expensive and sophisticated equipment. Possible the same equipment used to model and simulate space security objectives and NSG programs? Maybe this was a recreation of an event that the government didn’t see but was told was a possibility?
Edit5: I know many are asking how we know the voiceover wasn’t added recently, unfortunately the link to the video on RegicideAnon’s page on web archive doesn’t work, however another link to the same video was found that was posted to Facebook on September of 2015, that includes the voiceover:
https://www.facebook.com/ufovni/videos/ww2-archive-footage-of-flying-sauce510648672443495/
Thanks to for translating the description on the video:
“The following video was confiscated from the Kodiak Historical Military Museum on September 7th 1993 (the voiceover in the video actually said November 7th 1993). Originally a collection of gradings were donated with no date record or source of recording. In the video a UFO can be seen flying low on an island, alongside the planes as it approaches the runway. The location and date of filming are unknown.”
Interestingly the info about the museum and the collections is not mentioned in the clip at all, suggesting this is either a clip of a longer video or that the poster “Paranormal” somehow got more info with the clip.
Final Edit: I know that some people are in the process of actually examining the audio with professional programs so hopefully soon we’ll have concrete evidence if the voices match, however I want to leave you all and anyone else that stumbles upon the thread with this last bit; check out the following two sections and judge for yourself if this “but” sound exactly the same.
:42-:46 of the WW2 Archive Footage
27:44-27:46 of the NewsNation Interview
Please keep up the fantastic discussion and as always don’t forget to keep reaching out to your state congress representatives to keep the pressure on disclosure! We all deserve the truth, for the betterment of humanity.

2024.05.14 08:11 No_Confection5671 22m and I’m completely lost
So since January I started experiencing awful visual issues, I had an MRI, CT & blood work & all came back clear, since then I started developing twitching after taking amitriptyline and I just assumed it was a withdrawal or simply BFS. In 2/3 months I have had muscle atrophy in my back, thighs, calves and I’m certain my tongue has became weaker and so has my neck - I have no swallowing issues but my swallowing feels odd and my speech perceived by myself feels slow and not right at all.
I have seen countless neurologists in this time and they have all sent me back with a clean bill of health even though I have had 1 EMG which showed ‘chronic neuropathic changes mainly distantly’ and therefore a Neuromusculur neurologist diagnosed me with bfs & anxiety.
I know for a fact I have probably one of the worst progressive types of ALS you could get especially at such a young age - the atrophy was noticed by an NHS doctor who has sent me for another EMG in 3 months? But I have a private EMG on the 16th of this month. I’m absolutely terrified I have no understanding to how this could of happened, if all started after I took some mirtazapine to help with insomnia and I believe this has triggered something although there is 0 literature of this ever occurring and that’s why I can’t believe this happening to me.
I’m here to see reassurance even though I’m certain I’m dying and loosing everything so rapidly - I believe I have JALS or bulbar onset due to the changes in my face & throat etc… the one thing I can’t understand is how multiple parts of my body seem to be loosing muscle at the same time, I have read that ALS starts in one and moves up to the next etc but for me it seems like it’s everywhere.
I don’t know to be honest I don’t really know I didn’t want to post this at all but I just maybe might find someone on here that is experiencing disgusting symptoms, had a bag EMG and still came out the other side. I don’t believe I will, my family & girlfriend currently think I’m completely fine due to the reassurance from all the doctors and even the Neurologist who read the EMG still diagnosed me with BFS?
The EMG was on 2nd of April and at that point I knew my legs were smaller but it wasn’t extremely extremely noticeable - the EMG had no active neuropathic changes as PSW and FIBS were normal, it was just + AMP, + DUR and - INT PAT with seen fasiculations.
Overall I’m lost and i know it’s known that vision isn’t affected by ALS but I read reports and I legit match the symptoms such as reduced eye tracking, impaired VOR. I just feel like the most unlucky person on this planet like how can I have all these visual symptoms and horrible physical symptoms at such a young age just after taking some anti depressants to helps with insomnia.
I really need some support guys and I want to truly believe I’ll be okay but as of right now nothing can sway my mind and I’m dreading the 16th for what it will show, I’m going to honestly just walk in and say ‘I believe I have bulbar onset als just please start on my face and work your way down’
I just can’t believe that I’m completely fine when everything in my body is changing and has changed so quickly. I can still ride my bike, I can still run, walk fine and do any activity I want. (Other than football probably because of my vision) but I can’t do them well. I used to be able to run 5k without any aches in my body but now my feet hurt and so do my legs and I’m just a complete mess.
Much love and I hope people on this forum can comfort me with reassurance :(

2024.05.14 07:37 faustarp1000 Left handed Fender Stratocaster 50th anniversary : yay or nay?
Pros : I’m usually not much into sunburst finish, but this one looks gorgeous for some reason. All golden hardware. Mint condition with original case. Always wanted a maple fretboard Strat. Only 250 of these left handed models were made. Might be a unique chance to get one.
Cons : I already have an American Professional Strat (black). Price is steep, 1900$us, seller won’t go down. Would need to drive 7 hours total if I want to try it first. Seller could ship it, but then I wouldn’t be able to try it before buying.
Debating between getting the guitar, or a brand new amp head. I currently have 3 guitars and 3 amps (2 heads, 1 combo). I’ve been wanting a new amp head for a while, haven’t bought new since 2006. The amp would be around the same price as the guitar. I was just about to make a move for the amp. I wasn’t considering getting a new guitar at all before seeing the ad. I’ve bought a guitar from this same guy before, so he’s trustworthy. I barely have space for a 4th guitar though, while the amp I could just stack on top of one of my actual head.
Thoughts? Guitar or amp?
Here is a right handed version of the guitar for reference!

2024.05.14 07:24 ZeldaTheOuchMouse My idea for an open world crime based action adventure game:
Heres my idea for an open world crime based action adventure game:
I want a modern open world game with modern graphics, modern physics, driving and combat mechanics, the whole 9 yards, but it takes place in New Orleans LA in the Early 2000’s, the game would have hundreds and hundreds of licensed cars, licensed songs ALL period correct and as many licensed brands as i can get in the game to make the setting more resemble real life, we’ve seen so many fantasy brands and fake cities and companies based off real life companies and i want to change that, i want all electronics of the era to be 100% accessible and usable in the game, everything from Motorola Razr’s, PDA’s, Laptops and The Internet in FULL early 2000’s style, Alpine and Sony X-Plod Car Headunits etc
Im going to say this now: there would be ZERO references or mentions of Hurricane Katrina in this game, the timeline would be 2002 to Summer 2005 before Katrina, Katrina wouldn’t be mentioned as it wouldn’t exist
The story is about a young transgender woman in her 20’s who lives in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans, she drives a beat up 80’s-Early 90’s Pontiac at the start of the game and lives with her sister, at the beginning of the game nobody respects her, misgenders her and deadnames her, the idea is to hit the nail on the head with how trans people are treated on a daily basis, she progresses through the underground hustling ranks of New Orleans after being offered a job and proves to be someone who will go to great lengths to get the job done, everything from street racing in a scene that fully captures Early 2000’s tuner culture, winning cars in pinkslip races, shootouts from deals gone bad in nightclubs, encounters with corrupt police officers etc, at the end of the game shes a wealthy kingpin in the city and has earned the respect of mostly everyone and everyone speaks highly of her, i also want to slip in alot of little references to games and franchises i love like Earthbound, Clock Tower, Tony Hawk’s Underground 2, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Bad Boys, Need For Speed etc and make the user interface and menus feel like its from the Early 2000’s but also pay homage and respect to New Orleans Mardi Gras and jazz culture and for the world to be crammed full of life with NPC’s, animals, weather, random events, random encounters and interactions and basically how it would be in real life
The map i want to be the most accurate virtual recreation of New Orleans ever done just circa 2002-2005, i want as many enterable interiors in the game as possible, i want to include everything from Jazzland Theme Park, the Bayou areas, Lake Pontchatrain, East New Orleans, The SuperDome, the then New Orleans Arena next door, Shopping Malls, Car Dealerships for each brand in the game, Upper class Neighborhoods, Trailer Parks, Nightclubs, bars and of course the French quarter and Canal Street
I also want to take customization to a whole new level, give a Sims like ability to customize, furnish and build your home and character however you like, and of course the Early 2000’s fashion will be in full swing here, i want the most in-depth car customization of any game ever, its the early 2000’s after all, i want body kits, bumpers, hoods, wings, headlights and tail lights, the ability to customize the headunit in your car, put subwoofers in the trunk, rims, spinners, donks, lambo doors, underglow and of course in depth performance upgrades ALL parts be name brand, like Bomex body kits, TYC tail lights, JL Audio Amps, Subwoofers, Lowenhart, Lexani, Asanti, DUB and TIS rims, APR aluminum wings etc, i basically want to make the customization in Need For Speed Underground 2 look like a mobile game
And the car list, i want to have over 600 fully licensed cars in the game minimum and be fully customizable down to every single part, since the plot of the game starts in 2002 and ends in 2005, i want NOTHING newer than 2006 in the game
Cadillac Escalade, Hummer H2 and Chrysler 300C are a must, but i also want to have the 99-04 Mustang, both V6 and GT, Ferrari 360 Modena, Spider and Challenge Stradale, Ferrari 550, Lamborghini Murcièlago and Gallardo, but also include more common lesser loved cars like the Chevy Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, Pontiac Grand Am, Geo Metro, Dodge Neon, Chrysler Concorde, Chevy Celebrity, Ford Taurus etc, and of course i’ll have bikes, boats, planes, helicopters and all other types of vehicles
Yeah its a GTA/Saints Row type game, but i want to raise the bar, push boundaries and do something different thats never been done before
