Not a guarantee. I can barely turn a screwdriver; all AG expects is for me to call the person who will (not coincidentally, that's what her dad does). My understanding is that there are other demographic groups like that.
I'm sure my Yankee farmer ancestors are turning over in their graves.

Thankfully my landlord is pretty chill with me doing little things, like replacing a switch or a garbage disposal.

kissTheApex I'm trying to diagnose a weird problem with my guitar rig. My delay and reverb are in the effects loop of my Valveking - yesterday when I turned it on they were doing what sounded like this weird self-oscillation, like if you turn the repeats of an analog delay all the way up. I thought that both pedals might have given up the ghost but I plugged them straight into my bass amp and they work fine
So it turns out that having a big pedalboard is super fun until you have to figure out what's wrong with it
I just hope it's not something wrong with my amp . We had a power surge that knocked out our garage door opener recently so I'm a tad bit concerned even though it sits behind a surge protector.

And don't forget the sump pump. Usually the first appliance to fail. Good luck even finding it.

Rode my bike, trimmed some bushes, mowed one of my lawns, did a load of laundry plus a load of workout gear, going to eat lunch now, do some grocery shopping, then a nap is in order.

Well, we're not immediately going code red. The feds would like us to, but our governor would rather direct his energies toward re-election, at least a year away. Power corrupts, FYI

I keep forgetting what stage of reopening we're in, and what exactly all the stages mean. They should really cover that in all local newscasts so there is at least a possibility of us all staying on the same page.

not very familiar with the valveking, but does it have its own reverb/tremolo etc that may have been turned on?
my next check would be to put the pedals straight in and make sure the oscillation only happens in Fx loop. Do you have anything else you can plug in to the fx loop to see anything changes?

I love and hate how complicated this thing is, if I can find a good program to draw schematics again I'll post the signal chain. There is some seriously weird stuff going on since my main distortion pedal is actually in the effects loop

That's when you reply "yes, my ex-neighbors were angels too . . . but now I'm stuck with you people".

The Tool Man wasn't good at that stuff either. That's why he had Al.

We have a friend, who was in the nursery business when she had her knees replaced, consecutively. Prior to it reaching that point, the State of Ohio bought her a self-propelled wheelbarrow. This was back in the 80s. She had something else too, but I can't remember what.

That was my normal too last time I rode regularly, maybe 25 on a frisky day.

It's warm now, but the first month+ of what used to be summer was frittered away by dumb coolness and who knows how long it will last? Not a proper season. #YearWithoutSummer

Same. I'm totally confused. Regardless, I fear for mankind whenever I go to a public place and see groups of people huddled around like a single entity and unmasked.
