A quick introduction since I’m new here:
Looking for a few people to follow who are into music, art, food, and fountain pens.
I build guitars, speak fluent Japanese, and like to take pictures.

There’s something special about that warm hollowbody tone. It’s missing a little bit of sustain you can get out of a LP, but it’s otherwise much more flexible.

I’m in process of building my first bass after building and repairing multiple guitars. Any suggestions?

There’s something amazing about wiring up a guitar and plugging it in after doing work on it. I love it.

I love that feeling of quiet as the snow pads all the acoustic surfaces and changes how sound travels through the air. The soft cone of flakes catching the light of the street lamp as they fall.

So, first and foremost, there’s no such thing as ethical consumption under our current form of Capitalism as championed by Milton Friedman.
Second, decreased support is still sending a message, even if someone is not yet perfectly compliant.

Take a look at Nathan Tardiff from Noodler’s or the Goulets from Goulet Pen Company.

This is my primary pedal for dry tone. I have a CBA Clean stacked after it and my needs are completely met.

There’s a way around this in the settings I believe, but I’m still testing. Are you limiting the mix on each output to just certain outputs from the DAW or input monitoring?

It’s not bus powered, but the USB cable *does* carry a ground. Power is via adapter.

I replaced a couple of cables and re-ordered the signal chain which did the trick once the interface was grounded to the laptop. It may also be the TRS to dual TS adapter I’m using from the Clean — after putting it farther back it it helped.

Already figured it out. It was an issue with my CBA Clean and one of the cables. Grounding the interface to the laptop helped.

I get ground loops when I try to run stereo out of my Clean into my 18i8. It’s infuriating.

Keep em on a shelf if you want very specific tones, but my default is my Strymon stuff. They take some learning, but it’s rare you can’t get exactly what you want from them.
Spendy, but well worth the coin.

I have one each — Timeline and a BigSky. Depends on how much room you have on your board and how much you want to dance on it during a set.
For me, I prefer to dial my tone in and let midi do the dancing.

My Timeline and BigSky handle all this well together.
