  1. It’s gonna be a few days. I posted those demo videos so that y’all could watch them and subsequently talk me into buying it, but then I watched them again after I posted them and realized I didn’t need any more convincing. It was like a self-hypnosis thing.
  2. A few cheesy songs in this first demo, but damn, I *really* like the way it breaks up. To my ears, it seems like a slightly more aggressive and more "modern" (more harmonic saturation) version of an AC 30. Wheelhouse.
  3. Just scanning channels during a commercial (because, you know, I'm a dude), and the 2:30 lineup of games is a bunch of meh outside of these two powerhouses on the plains.
  4. The line was UMass +32
  5. *Chef's kiss* on the punter flop to open the game.
  6. *Immerse (I blame autocorrect)
  7. Immense (the one in that demo video above)
  8. Yeah, I've been through several reverbs. The Strymon - is great, but it has a big footprint and requires high current (my Phoenix power supply only lets me have a few of those high-draw outputs). It's also a bit overwhelming in terms of big, deep menus. Hall of Fame - also requires one of my high-current outputs. Sounds good, but not great (a lot of the settings sound kind of thin and digital to me). An old TC Electronics Time Line - really like this one, and I think it sounds nice and was ahead of its time, but it's a huge footprint and also a very unique voltage requirement, so it has to have it's own DC brick on the board. Big footprint + needs its own wall wart = naga... naga... nagonna be on *this* pedalboard anymore. The neunaber fairly small, draws low amperage, and has a simple dedicated-knob interface. It also sounds richer and lusher to me compared to the Hall of Fame. $199 for that combo of attributes is super appealing. I wonder how close the spring setting gets to your Topanga...
  9. No posts on this thread since July? Disappointed in us all. I just got an email from Neunabar that they're doing Black Friday pricing. Versatile and cool reverb pedals that sound great and have comparatively easy interfaces (i.e. dedicated knobs and no menus). https://neunaber.net/collections/all-products
  10. I like Buffet's material but his fans are annoying as shit. I feel the same way about the Grateful Dead and Jesus.
  11. unbelievable sark never ever learns
  12. I mean, any play action on either 1st or 2nd - with a simple toss to Sanders or Whittington - and it's highly likely a first down
  13. Feels like when we target Sanders or Whittington, we have pretty high success %. On all these road collapses, it feels like we're either running Bijan into a stacked box or throwing some almost-never-successful deep balls to Worthy.
  14. So my buddy -- who is a superb recording engineer -- got his first big studio job as an assistant engineer at a big studio (Ocean Way) in Nashville. And it was literally his very first morning in the room for one of these major-label recording sessions. The artist was a female trio making their debut record (no, it wasn't the Dixie Chicks). And I can't remember who the producer was, but it was a very high-power Tony Brown-type guy. Anyway, it's the first morning, and the ladies were struggling to sing some harmony. And they keep doing take after take trying to get a part down, and it wasn't going well. At some point, the producer took a few steps over and picked up the landline, dialed a number, and said, "Yeah, Bob... I think I'm gonna have to punt on this one" (presumably talking to the label executive, obviously). And then, without saying anything to the engineers or to anyone else, the bigshot producer just gathered his things and walked out of the control room. Meanwhile, the band was standing out in the live room in front of their respective microphones --- headphones on, just waiting for feedback and for their next pass, totally oblivious to what happened. The studio had to tell them over the talkback mic, "Ladies, can you come back in here for a second?" and then tell them they no longer had a producer -- and maybe no longer had a record deal. That was his Day One in a major studio.
  15. ... and a lot of motorcycles. Definitely the same era and the same ethos as Ram Jam: "Let's set up our gear as if there's a stage in the front yard of my rent house, and then we'll park our Harleys in a circle all around us." Ram Jam didn't have any friends with a ski boat - that's about only difference.
  16. Pretty sure one of those "offsides" against Texas was when our defense was substituting in response to an offensive substitution, and the refs let OSU snap the ball before our guy was all the way off the field. You never see that penalty, because (by rule) the refs will stand over the ball and make the offense wait until the defensive subs are complete. And one of the offsetting penalties was when Alfred Collins was rushing up the middle and was tackled into the quarterback, and (I think) Collins' hand hit Sanders' helmet as the ball came out. The broadcast never replayed it, and it would be too painful to go back and confirm with a second look, but that contact (which was minor) doesn't happen if Collins doesn't get tackled. Just pointing a couple of these out for the guys who want to say, "When you break it down, it was actually very even." The calls weren't remotely even. There were multiple phantom PI on Texas extending OSU drives that resulted in points that 1) were definitely uncatchable balls and 2) weren't PI even if the ball had been catchable. Texas receivers got zero of those calls. Then, with the game on the line and only a couple minutes to play, Texas gets yet another phantom penalty - a "hold" on the back side of the play, moving us back about 60 yards - from first down deep inside OSU territory to 2nd- (?3rd-)-and-22 way back on our side of the field. Former OU player announcing the game, discussing 14-0 disparity in penalties: "That's just great coaching!" We can't get out of this conference fast enough.
  17. I appreciate contrarian opinions, but we just opened the second half with (yet another) absolute phantom PI against Texas. 11 Penalties enforced to 0.
  18. So is that how ISU fans felt when Missouri bolted the conference? Did ISU fans feel strong resentment from the unmistakeable message of "we're better than you" from Colorado? Nebraska? A&M? OU? Texas has just as much of a right to act in its own best interest as any other school.
  19. Interesting. I’m fine with 3 games in wild card round. Those teams ought to be happy that they got in at all. But it seems like division winners should be harder to unseat. I understand that $$$$$$ is driving these decisions… but moving divisional round to 7 games potentially gives more playoff games. If MLB thinks that makes playoffs go too deep into October, then eliminate an off-day or two (which also rewards deeper pitching staffs).
