Honestly I don’t know much about these things but have been around electrical engineers! I looked up a few things I will admit 🙂

Transformers don’t deal much with resistance though…reluctance I was referring to magnetic reluctance which is the magnetic analog…more applicable to the transformer in this case. Thanks for the interesting exchange 🙃

It’s just a phase. They will get over their reluctance.

Heh! I always think of that when talking about my printer or sewing machine. 😂

Front loaders cause less wear on clothing and use less water, which is why I originally chose front loading. It has been a while since I have been in the market, but the favorite feature on my old LG is the ease of getting to just a rinse and spin. Turn the dial to turn on the machine, hit the small rinse+spin button, then start!

 

I love my Brother CP60X, but the thread does not play nice on the holder. It tends to get stuck in the plastic lip and then break. So I made a simple felt barrier like that many sewing machines come with. Works like a charm! Now the thread spool doesn’t spin erratically and instead has just enough friction to maintain tension…and not tangle on the plastic lip. 10/10 recommend.

Farmhouse is all about texture. What is your favorite color? Get a muted version of it. For instance if your favorite color is blue, try a color like needlepoint navy from Sherwin Williams. Or if it is red, try rosedust or toile red.

Since you have entirely neutral woodwork, floor, ceiling, and furniture any color is going to stand out…even if muted.

Recommended more than color: texture. Plaster techniques, shiplap (overdone a bit thanks to Chip and Joanna), cedar boards, wallpaper, etc. will add more to your farmhouse desires. Farmhouses are rustic so having the perfect trim, carpet, etc could handle something to contrast it.

Just some suggestions! Make sure to post once you decide on a change :)

This makes me glad I chose to replace my leatherman with a Swiss Army knife lol. I have the orange juice s2 and the only issue is a chip in the small screwdriver from trying to turn a different screwhead type. I keep it in my work bag but wanted something for personal use and decided on the deluxe tinker and am happy with it. The leatherman tools I looked at just didn’t vibe with me.

Putzing around is another way to say goofing off.

I always enjoyed the word putz. I typically use the verb format but it amuses me that every definition is so different lol.

1998 US with fender lace golds in neck and middle…Seymour Duncan of some sort in the bridge. Plays and sounds a dream! Color is Plum Purple Metallic. Here it is next to my Jazzmaster.

 

Found a great deal at a used gear shop…actually a new unit open box. Digging the workflow and vibe. Already recorded a few tracks with it!

 

I haven’t touched my Tele or Les Paul since I got this. So versatile and sexy to boot!

 

Upgraded from a Squier. Lucked out with a used AC4 combo too. It is just a MIM but perfect for me. Plays well, very sweet Tele tone, and hopefully inspires me to get past the basic skills I have at the moment on guitar.

 

Looks like an interesting idea. I like the daisy chain option. Analog, portable, and $500. Not bad. Curious what you all think?

 

Picked up this little guy last week and have already cleared the presets and started making my own. Any tips or fun stories about Microfreaks?

 

I’ve used this on the Switch and it is pretty neat. It would be pretty awesome if the VR implementation is good enough!

 

Wonder how this idea will be long term? Losing come cables would be awfully convenient for those who perform or have smaller spaces especially.

 

Which one? For the sake of theoretical questions …let’s assume you could have any synth…not just what you already own.

 

Sounds like they are goners. Hope they didn’t have your favorite plug-in or at least you have the installer still!
