That's dope. Do you have s favorite between the two slopes? I've never experimented on guitar before, only synths way back.

Cool. I'll have to breadboard that one up. Not sure if I've got a Wolfshirt board or not.

WBM is great for finding old docs, too. Unless the vendor had everything gated behind a login back then. Happened with an old guitarpcb(?) board I've still got: that old rev of the board was never publicly crawlable. Thankfully I emailed them and they had it sitting on an old Syquest drive somewhere. (I kid, but it was old af, it seems.)

Personally, with AI bot crawling ignoring robots.txt, I fully support folks like Bean, Effects Layouts, Aion, and Robert obfuscating things like that behind s smoke login. It's not like Brian is selling us out to Skynet or anything. FSB arn DIYSB are there now for some threads/forum categories.

Mass Effect 3. I haven't read/seen Hunt for Red October in aaaages, but sounds about right.

My linguist wife says that a dead language is one that doesn't change over time (even a short amount of it), but I feel you. The worst offender is the redefinition of "literally" to include an oxymoronic figurative application...

"Like, I literally can't even. No cap."

It's hilarious to hear my niece and her husband prattle on with the new kids speak.

Quote from: lars on October 17, 2025, 03:45:45 AMThe real question is:  what possible purpose or advantage does somebody recieve from making these sites? It just clogs up being able to find the 5% of actual relative sites.
The cynic in me thinks that the clogging effect is the end goal, although what there is to gain... I'd say being a source of "truth" might be a slightly more rational interpretation. There's a slim possibility of revenue from the disparate holders, but that's peanuts. Maybe it's just groping at crumbs falling from the table of the harbingers of the $whatever. 

While it does little to filter out anything from more current content of repute, duckduckgo has a feature where you can filter by date. I basically set it to not show me anything created after 2019, just to be sure.


Being right about AI doesn't seem like a victory, does it? (if you know where I appropriated that line, you're my favorite member on the forum)

Championing dumb devices, reviling terrible platforms... we're the sane ones in the asylum now. In terms sheer numbers, the dead internet theory is fast becoming a plausible reality.

Quote from: lars on October 11, 2025, 02:03:16 AMI adjusted one resistor in the the tone stack and one capacitor in the clipping stage to match the '75 Rams Head muff and BOOM! A killer-sounding Big Muff was born. This thing rips. Run some mild overdrive into the front end, and it sounds epic. I housed all of it in an old enclosure I had used for a DOD 250 clone, and I used random knobs and slapped a Thomas organ logo on it. All the wear and tear on the enclosure is from real use, so it isn't a relic job. It's now one of my favorite dirt pedals I've ever made. Funny how that happens.
Very nice!  8) The old and new decals totally works. I dig it.

I wish we could tag people... aleph null did something similar in his Peacock Parallel Fuzz, only with a harmonic percolator instead of a SHO. He could at least answer the parallel buffer part.
