Definitely get the big one though. The six way one. It's got the individual on and off switches per channel and that's what the little one is missing. I plan on buying at least two more of his toys when I get my refund check

(2) and then you can set the individual mix and volume of the effect with the two knobs below. Put anywhere on your board for heavenly tones and use like a regular Reverb if you want. But set it up like I did and put it in front of an overdrive and you'll mess your pants

It's really unique compared to the others. That doesn't discount how awesome the other stuff is. Everyone should have a space echo. But the soft focus mixes big reverb, subtle delay, subtle modulation, and subtle shimmer. Set it like I did where you can turn the top three knobs up all the way...(1)

My Linux based recording rig. All the guitars, mics, n' drums sub mixed in off screen. I just use mint but I think there's a Linux flavor specifically suited to audio. But so far so good!

Just saw the last part. Linux is great for audio! There are many DAW's and they work better than the Windows based programs. Linux doesn't route the signal through all kinds of garbage before it gets to the a/d converter like windows does. Zero latency!

Do it! I just did it to both my computers. Each one was Windows 10 unupdateable, but excellent machines otherwise. Now they're Linux Mint machines and they work fantastic and will continue to do so for years to come. Get bent Microsoft!

I just installed Mint. I could not be happier. Windows can go straight to hell forever. Linux for the win!

The soft focus has something really special going. Mix and fx lvl makes for wash control. I put mine in front of my overdrive and it's instant Shoegaze bliss. I have the smallest shoe gazer board on earth because of the soft focus. It's the white one. I paint over my gear logos for reasons

No worries! Seriously though, I've had a couple other gals say "I don't think I like your politics but your name is creepy." It's time. And thanks for the kind words! I actually started a protest here in Seattle every Saturday at noon called "bury the broligarchs" and it's still going ✊

Truth. Super creepy if you think about it. I initially picked it because that's the name of my business. I'm an actual handyman πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ”§
I certainly didn't choose the name of my vocation as it's decidedly sexist but that's how it shows up on the license. Changing it now. Mustn't give the wrong impression πŸ˜…

Yeah, and the numbers have been in for quite a long time now. Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, commit a tiny fraction of the crime that "natural born Americans" commit per capita. As immigrants get deported, our overall crime rate goes up.

the Trump administration says that they're trying to kick "illegal voters off the rolls" but they're actually trying to kick natural born and naturalized citizens off. Trump has made it clear. Anyone who doesn't vote for him shouldn't be voting at all. I'm sorry all this crap is happening to you!

β€˜Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it β€˜fake,’ she says Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Finished making a channel switch for an amp I'm building. On this fourth of July, the day we celebrate independence and freedom, I dub thee Maria. Maria makes my amp LOUD.
Be like Maria.
Be LOUD.

Tesla speeds up odometers to avoid warranty repairs, U.S. lawsuit claims Tesla faces a proposed class action claiming it speeds up odometers on its EVs so they fall out of warranty faster, saving the company from paying repairs.

Classic super villain move...

Trump's election order could jeopardize 'hundreds of thousands' of future mail ballots Eighteen states count mail-in ballots that are received after Election Day, but a new order by President Trump challenges the practice.

He's not going to leave willingly. We have 3 1/2 years to come up with some kind of contingency plan

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp.

As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of β€˜exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.
