Appreciate that mate, thank you.

Is anyone friendly with any engineers or staff working the Garage G2 venue in Glasgow, particularly engineers/tech? Have an issue following a gig on Friday night that I'm struggling to talk to anyone about who could help.

If you have them side by side, you'll notice the difference, goes beyond just tone, but in isolation? I'd be surprised if anyone could identify one over the other. OC-5 is a better choice all round.

BRbrBR DENG

Worse thing about the Br Br Deng memes is that he doesn't even actually go Br Br...

Every time I've preodered something I've seen this happen, definitely learned my lesson there! Could be a pattern though, as the last time it was Thomann and the Quad Cortex, I ended up cancelling and buying from Andertons instead.

Never underestimate the extent to which a cheap PSU can ruin a pedal experience.

Agree with that muchly. Listened again with a good bass heavy EQ curve, the signature Ryan playing is definitely happening, perhaps not his most complex work but plenty going on, but its all low end and hardly anything mids/highs is cutting through the mix. Just no character to the tone. And yeah, song is still bad. Oddly, given how much the vocalist has declined in ability over the years, I feel like his performance is the best bit... (if you like that kind of thing). Hopefully future tracks leave a bit more space for the bass to shine without having to cut through an otherwise muddy mushy mix.

Awaking this thread from the dead a little. Mudvayne have released their first new song in the "Ryan Fodera" era. For me, it's awful, but notably the bass is absolutely missing in the mix, all the signature Ryan playing, if its still happening, is buried. Is this a very odd shift in mix approach, or do his Fodera's just not have any of that mix cutting Thumb character? Not unexpected, but a real shame.

I've had worse weekends

First time I can say I've ever seen "balls of the day" on a menu.
