    Looking for electrical engineer/tech for help

    Thanks for your help and time bro. But Like I said, and even you said it, its fucking cheap piece of shit so ill pitch the amp head, steal the speakers and build a 2x12 cab and call it a day. If I want something like this in the future, they are cheap and probably 10x better these days, even if...

    Looking for electrical engineer/tech for help

    Id have to look at it again, but from memory it seems like its coming FROM the Transformer. I know all the shit is cheap, and I know how to solder. Im just worried about the board that is burned around the part. It looks like something was arcing and a fire started on the board, lol because even...

    Looking for electrical engineer/tech for help

    So in other words, way over my head then. LOL, Its not worth the $$ to have it fixed IMO. If this was some tube head or some other shit, than myabe. But its jsut a cheap solid State amp from the 80s. (VINTAGE LOL) Last time I had this thing serviced back in the 90s, the dude cleaned all the pots...

    Looking for electrical engineer/tech for help

    Any experienced electrical engineers/techs around here? I have this older Fender 185 pro solid state amp that does not work/power on. I took the fucker apart to remove the amp head and it looks like there is some burned shit inside, at least the obvious stuff I saw. Seems like the circuit board...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    There is a few problems with this. For one let me just start and say, again, anyone that makes music in whichever way, its fucking great. But that I think that making music by yourself in your own little DAW bubble does not progress you to be better as quickly, and people get stuck in their...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    Yeah I listened to tht video last week, he makes the same fucking points. He also has a good video about bands from belgium, claiming its the next scene, and listening to it hes got something there, some of those bands are good.

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    Of course they are musicians but most of them failed at it, so they took up a different gig. Just like the dudes video I linked. The dude has a degree in music, taught music theory in college for years, countless hours of practice, can play every dammed instrument, even got signed to a record...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    If you think about it the entire rock genre was spawned from blues, which were all pretty much black artists. Shit, the grandfather of rock itself, Chuck Barry, was black.

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    This was also covered int he video I linked. The dude said that there is basically 1-2 media companies which bought all the fucking radio stations, or most of them. So its no longer grass roots type of shit that happened in 60s-90s where DJs actually chose the music they wanted to play, or...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    But producers are not architects of the music, the band/artist is. They only help in the recording phase so the song the band wrote will sound good. do you even know what a producer does? Do you think red hot chili peppers went to rick rubin and he wrote all their songs for them? Why even have...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    This is actually the problem they say in that video I linked, and the dude IS a producer. There is only a few producers and they pretty much controll the entire music industry now. And they are all 40-60 yrs old. Before record labels would go out and search for new talent, and when they saw that...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    One theory out there is its because rock lost its blues influence along the way. I mean rock was born out of blues. Watch it from beginning, youtube fucked up the time. good video but they cover many issues with music industry today, vs past.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    dont we have satellites that can see under the earth? I seem to recall reading something about this, how some ancient buried sites were found through the use of ground imaging satellites.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    LOL people found ancient cities in places like the desert, buried under feet and feet of sand. Or unearthed cities like pompay which were buried under hundred feet of volcanic ash.

    Pieces of our cities will be left behind. Concrete and shit like that will probably survive for a while. Bronze statues, statues carved of stone, Places like Hoover dam, even if it breaks, thats a monolith that will survive long after were gone. Look at a city like NY. Even if fully destroyed...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    Ok, maybe Jerry Cantrell is taking it a bit far, but there were countless others with household names, like Clapton, Keith Richards, Slash, Nikki Sixx, Randy Rhoads, Alex Lifeson, Billy Corgan.... I mean, do you even know who the guitar or singer of Three Days Grace is? Probably the most...

    Is Rock dying or already dead?

    So ive been hearing this around the net and news media for a while now. Rock is dead or dying, or even that its already dead. I was born in the early 70s, grew up in the 80s and 90s when rock was at its pinnacle. Groups like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, just to name a few, with their...

    Path of Exile

    This is actually a good thing about this game. Its depth and the breadh of it all, its overwhelming at first, sure, but like 2 leagues in, you will be proficient, and at the same time still have so much more to learn and discover. The only negative is that when you try to do it yourself, without...

    Hmm, first time seeing this. Thanks.. Pellicle formation Before cured foods are cold smoked, they can be allowed to air-dried to form a tacky outer layer, known as a pellicle. The pellicle plays a role in producing better smoked products as it acts as a protective barrier for the food and also...

    If you want to learn setups, check out Sam Deeks on youtube. He does full videos of the entire process, including floyd rose setups, fret work, nut, action, electronics, etc... It gets long winded since his vids are all like 2-4 hours long, but you can just use FF. Sam Deeks

    Been rolling my own coils for a few years now. I honestly dont even know how people survive vaping without DIY coils. Shit gets expensive fast.

    I buy the shit straight from china. Its cheaper and they sell the real deal (and fakes too) since all this bullshit is all made there anyway. Yeah you got to wait a few weeks, but whatevs. I buy in bulk. Last time I got 3 mods and 3 kanger top tanks, and some other crap for like $150 or so.

    Home Improvement

    Problem with some of them is they are to small. They are big enough for standard 4"-6" tile, but when you get into 12" or 16" flooring tiles you need something bigger, with a bigger bed and saw that travels through entire thing. The last job I did was tiling over my brick hearth and fireplace...

    I saw a video with a dude bitching about the contract they struck with Activision. They were so arrogant about themselves, their name and their game, they basically fucked themselves, this is why they pushed most cool content into the cash shop in D2.

    Oh yeah I know. I have a buddy with a real one too, his dad gave it to him for his Bday when he was like 17 or some shit. its also a 70s model. I think his dad spent like $1800 used for it. Nice, but not worth no damn $4K.
