  3. Milan and Como are different class. It just kept delivering, something different each day. Missus and I love learning of the history of the places we visit and Milan has it in abundance. Como's views are just unreal. City and location that keeps on giving. Duomo Cathedral - the size of this historical building is ridiculous. And then the city-wide views from the rooftop are sensational. Aerial view if Lake Como after taking a cable car up one or the mountains. Again, the views of Northern Italy all the way to the Swiss border are just something else: San Siro - couldn't go to Milan and not visit here! Shame it's due to be knocked down, but to be honest there's all the history of it but not much else to say once you're within it. The museums are great. Plenty of memorabilia accumulated. Navigli - this is one of the canals running through this section of Milan and this small region. Lovely view up and down the canals. Can tell why its a popular spot for tourists. Overall, Milan is a beautiful city with so much to offer. A bit on the expensive side but not extortionate. The food is delicious. Freshness and authentic in equal measure. Only 2hrs from UK so typically easy to get to. Would seriously recommend! Above is just a selection of photos, too. Out of a few hundred taken, hard to narrow down!

  5. Alright... well first off, sorry for the post being long as fuck - I just started typing things that came to my head and then Jesus Christ... I've typed out a million fucking words Yeah, honestly - if you're using a modeler for recording, I think it's better to just use the USB connectivity (making the modeler effectively an interface) or run it through an audio interface. I think that's definitely a better idea than micing up monitors or even a FRFR speaker. Cos with it going direct to your computer (either as an interface or going through an interface)... your cab sim is already doing the work of acting like a mic'd up cab. So recording a monitor or FRFR is a bit like recording a recording of a mic'd up cab through a separate speaker. Not saying that'll sound bad or not... I genuinely don't know... but it'll sound different and probably not exactly what you'd expect. If you're using it direct to the computer/through another interface, then you'd use the monitors/FRFR speaker/your headphones to monitor your playing as you record. So if you have it connected to the USB of your computer & you record that way, you can plug your studio monitors into the output of the modeler - but it won't be recording from those speakers, the recording will go straight into your DAW. The monitoring is just so you can hear what you'll be recording. If you want to record a mic'd up cab... I think you'd have better results mic'ing up the cab you've currently got. It won't sound the way it does with you just listening in the room, I dunno what kind of mic you've got but there's a difference in how they pick up sounds whether you've got a dynamic, condensor, ribbon, etc. But for me, because we've got the cab sim/IRs mimicing mic'd up cabs, I'll be recording just straight from the device into the computer or through my interface (depending on what computer I'm using at the time, whether it's my PC upstairs that I use as my home studio or just my laptop - mostly because my desktop computer upstairs is sort of a permanent setup and I don't want to mess around with the monitor connections... so I'd want to just use my interface for that). If you do that, you can use headphones or the monitors you currently have to monitor what you're recording - but you don't have to worry about micing the monitors up because that signal will go straight from the unit to your DAW. It's just so much easier, imo, recording straight to your computer from the unit. And if you're liking how it sounds through the monitors... I think you'll be liking out it sounds recorded to your computer direct. So if you're going to get into recording, that'd be my advice. I think with the PodGo it's actually easier to run out of DSP power, because while I've only got 10 blocks compared to your 11... 4 of my blocks are sort of "floating" - they're not tied to any specific effect, I could make them be 4 delays if I wanted. I can move all the blocks around, but because I've got the flexibility to have several of the highest processing power effects running I also can end up maxing out the processing power. What happens then is it just won't let me add effects that would push the device beyond what it's capable of. It's not a big deal, I doubt I'll be running 10 blocks at the same time very often... I haven't actually encountered that yet... but I know it can happen from my friends' experiences. But I think for 95% of the tones I want to make, I'll be fine with DSP. The cool thing is now that I sort of have a better idea of how to work with the stock cabs, if I ever do max out the DSP I think I can just remove the IR and use a stock cab to free up some processing power. As for the size of the plug for the mains... I dunno how to describe it, it's just really big it looks like it's out of the 90s - it's not a serious issue or anything, it's just kind of annoying because I had to reorganise things on the powerstrip I use. So far I've just made some patches for headphones/monitor usage: I've made a compressed clean tone that's got some nice spring reverb, with a couple of snapshots that add some modulation effects and delay... just so I have a nice basic clean tone if I ever want to mess around with cleans. Which let's be real... isn't often Then the next thing I did was find the Peavey 5150 model cos that's my favourite amp and made a preset with 4 snapshots (rhythm, rhythm but with a touch of reverb, lead with just reverb, and then lead with reverb and delay). Then I messed around with an amp model that's a Line6 original that's not really based off any real amp - the Line 6 Badonk, because I saw Ola Englund say he likes that model and... I gotta say, it's a very impressive amp sim. Sounds heavy as fuck without needing an overdrive to tighten things up. Then I made a JCM800 for some classic metal, like Maiden, Priest, etc... and some snapshots for that (one to make an early-thrash style rhythm, a lead with reverb and delay, and a lead with reverb, delay & phaser). There's a lot I haven't played around with yet. Like the Rev Generator amp sims (that are officially licensed, so they didn't have to make up silly names ) and a shitload of the effects. I forgot how good the Line 6 delays and reverbs are and there's a lot of them with a lot of different parameters I need to look into. In a few days or a week, I'll post my demo clip that @Mel81x asked for - I'll probably show off a clean, a "classic rock" style Marshall plexi tone, a nice metal rhythm, and then some kind of lead tone that's got delay and reverb. You two should let me know if there's any particular amps you'd want me to demo & what cabs I should use (I know Mel wanted me to show off my ML Sound Lab IRs - I've got a couple I use, a Mesa Boogie 4x12 w/ Electro Voice speakers & a Marshall 4x12 w/ Greenbacks I think). tl;dr - I dunno if you'd want to record with mic'ing up your speakers or even a FRFR, I think you should try recording into a DAW on your computer from the device first (either through your interface or direct through your USB on the modeler - and if you do it through your modeler, I advise plugging your monitors or your headphones into the Valeton itself), also I made about 4 patches with some snapshots within them, still barely scratched the surface. Also you & Mel can let me know if there's anything specific you'd want me to model. I'll just need a bit of time to get a bit more used to the device and it's amp models & let me know if you'd like it through a Mesa Boogie with some unique speakers or an older-school Marshall cab. And honestly, you might find ML Sound Lab's IR packs to be a better value for money for recording than buying a FRFR since you've got monitors already - they're doing a Summer Sale rn too.

  8. There's a few factors to take in there, surely? The vaccinated/unvaccinated thing is nothing to do with Wimbledon. That's more to do with the rules of the country that's hosting the tournament. I don't agree with the Russia/Belarus ban for players - the war is something they probably have nothing to do with. US Open - Djokovic is unlikely to play in that as US don't allow unvaccinated foreign travellers.

  9. That ones recommended by lots of people who have modelers, don’t think you can go wrong with it. They’re really popular because they can get very loud, but they’re also good for home use too. I know 3 people personally who have that. My first impressions of the Pod Go are… really good. It’s basically exactly what I expected - a baby Helix. All the modeling for amps, cabs, effects is miles better than the GE200 (which again wasn’t bad… it’s just these are more detailed), I get the Line 6 snapshot mode which is seriously a game changer and will be so useful jamming with my friends (you basically get 4 presets within a preset). But also I can just do so much more… its got all the strengths and more of what I was using before. And I can see myself using more of the features (if not all of them) compared to the Helix where I didn’t really touch the advanced routing. Where it’s exceeded expectations is I remember not really liking the Helix stock cabs a while back… but going back to the cabs now, I’ve found I was probably putting the mics too close and messing around with the high cut/low cut settings can get me getting a very good sound. IRs definitely are easier and quicker to get sounding good with… but it’s nice to have stock cabs feel usable. The only thing I don’t like about it is the power supply adaptor - its huge. So far I’ve not made any presets where I’ve seen DSP limitations yet. The modeling is so high quality on this I’m probably going to use it for recording more than I use plugins. So I’m very happy, but I sort of figured I would be… I’ve used a Helix and I’ve got some friends with PodGos, I pretty much knew what I was getting into.

  11. I don't know if @RandoEFC you listen to podcasts, but give trashfuture a go. It's got free weekly episodes on youtube. And something like $7 a month for extra weekly content. Seems up your alley.

  12. @Dr. Gonzo @Mel81x Tried it with my audio speakers today, wow!! My cab sounds good but the mesa cab emulator with the dual rectifier just blew my mind ..my speakers are only cheap ones so was thinking what are a good set to upgrade too? ..I might even sell my amp and cab now. here's my set up, I can run my speakers and cab at the same time too

  13. Fuck me, did you survive an abortion?

  14. Are you aware of what's actually happening now though? The states shown below are implementing bans on abortion. Not curtailments. For example Texas, which previously legislated a 6 week limit on abortion now has a law coming in 30 days that will outright ban all abortions from the moment of fertilisation with the only exception being to save the life of the mother.... Rape and incest are not sufficient grounds for an abortion.

  15. Orphans cost the nation BILLIONS. Plus the fucked up reality of being raised by strangers and what that does to people. Of course abortion should be regulated. So 74% of people are sane. But that doesn't mean they don't want the ability to have that choice you pillock. Driving is regulated. walking across the road is regulated. Fuck you're dense.

  17. Yeah, I agree with that fully. I think it's mental that some people expect things made decades ago to conform to modern day standards when really in the last 10 years alone there's been a lot of change to what's considered socially acceptable and what isn't. And it's also mental to just suggest that people not watch films, TV, or listen to music made decades ago because it doesn't comply with modern standards either.

  18. On 23 June, all COVID 19 regulations ended in South Africa. If only they can do something about Privatising our electrical grid to stop it going the way South African Airways, Telkom, Transnet, The Post Office did after becoming state entities. Had another week of level 2 load shedding, 2x2hour outages in a day, that is the smell of progress.

  19. There are always those that have to go a bit far.... I would love to sit down with those decision makers and ask what their thinking was behind this idea?? A school near Manchester has banned its pupils from any physical contact with each other whatsoever, including hugging and play fighting. Mossley Hollins High School brought in the ‘no contact’ rule stating that ‘no student should ever be touching another student’. This includes a ban on ‘carrying of other students, cuddling, or play fighting’, including during their breaktime and lunch hour, saying this will ‘not be tolerated’. The school on Huddersfield Road in Greater Manchester said it had brought in the rule to ‘further improve our positive school culture’. School bans hugging as part of zero-tolerance policy to physical contact (msn.com)
