FWIW, and as I think I've mentioned on here before, I have a THR5 and really like it. That said, I'm not playing loads and am reasonably happy noodling away unplugged anyway. For serious idea development im plumbed into logic anyway so its not mega important, but the THR is a nice to have in the living room.

Guitarists in my band us the THR10 which is definitely a huge step up in terms of sounds, and is still good at conversational volume. We use those to work through song ideas (I dont play guitar in the band but often use it to help figure out the shapes with them)

^ this is definitely true in Spain, the Bio bit is where all the fancy pants vegan stuff goes

Been using muc off for years, no issues, better than stans based on my experience but could just be luck

Not like a timber structure where if in doubt you can throw more screws in.

You’d be surprised. Though it does make getting new glass more difficult

Ah the halcyon days of single digits. The game was a great procrastination tool as a student

Please submit to Arrivee, I want them to print the words “knob and bollocks”

that's the second tag-bag lately where the photo doesnt seem to match the location, as someone who mainly observes it could be a picture of any old street with loads of bay windows

I once did this with a mate who used it for an internal step up between rooms, we had a sheet of copper we'd cut out of a skip diving score. The step it was going on was wooden, so we just lined it up, fixed the top edge and spent ages tapping it into submission. Looked awesome at the end tbh, I'll see if I can find a picture.

With slate I guess that technique wouldn't go so well, but if you can replicate the step with a lump of wood, just keep hitting it with a hammer?

I use Shure se425 earphones and a portable bluetooth transmitter (damn you iphone). I had the earphones already because the isolation and sound quality is so good. on the bike, the seal that gives the isolation is great in place of earplugs

Don’t get a strat

That’s good to hear. If i manage it ok I might extend the treatment to other rooms, our house is stupidly hot. Never had double glazing before

I was hoping it would be more effective outside, not heating up the glass as much

Ah fuck

Precisely why I haven’t even opened the box yet

I’m going to put it in the outside even though it’ll get fucked, hoping to rip it down in 3-5 years and build a proper workshop

I think it was this one https://www.abodewindowfilms.co.uk/product/prestige-70-ultra-2/

i bought some solar film after a recco on here for our conservatory but i have yet to summon the will power to do the job.

we had roof blinds fitted which have made a big difference: instead of hitting 60 degrees C, it now only gets to 40ish on a clear hot day. it still creates a weird pocket of warm air that you have to walk through when going up stairs

I lopped off the bolted head from our broc and we’ve eaten what grew after but it tasted a bit cabbagy. Might just have been the variety though

I’d kind of assumed it originally went into a soakaway, even if now it’s all collapsed under ground.

Temporarily at least, I’ll just put a foot on the new pvc downpipe and it can go onto the concrete side passage and flow onto the lawn. Eventually I’ll unconcrete the side passage and maybe that will mean I find out whether it does go to a soakaway after all

Got another edition of Jack’s Questions for the Hive Mind:

I have a gutter downpipe with a steel bottom section of about 2m. It was packed full with plant shit (new house, not my fault). I have chopped it off just above where it is concreted into the side passage floor, and pulled out as much Ultimate Compost as possible.

I had hoped it might then drain properly, toward a soak away. There’s another downpipe right next to it with no apparent problems.

It did drain, but I found a load of old ironwork in there. Upon pulling it out, it looks like the pipe empties into the depths of hell or potentially my foundations.

So my question is, does anyone know about soakaways? How far below ground would the elbow usually be?

Plum tree and pollinators

I have a question that is probably best thrown at the inhabitants of this thread rather than the Bands one:

My band uses a sampler pedal to play sound files that are intros. This pedal is no longer supported so we can't change any of the files for switching up the set, plus the guitarist doesn't want to be in charge of that any more. I'd like to take this opportunity to find something that can not only play the intro sound files, but also trigger some backing track type stuff for vocal layers.

Does the Alesis SamplePad 4 do that? Or is there something around that price point that does? Bonus points for me getting to hit it with something rather than clicking a button.

.

we managed to get a bunch off Amazon for a lot less than in Boots/Superdrug

a mate of mine is on his second one i think - if you have any specific questions I can send them his way. I know he loves it for commuting on the a27, and that you shouldnt keep chewing gum in the cup holder thingy

then there's the multifx style button setup for all your pedals so you dont have to stomp them individually
