I mean to be fair to them, you've just described this release with that 😂

It's a shame if it's as it appears. When Doug was running the company, he was always adament that Darkglass wouldn't release anything that already exists in the market unless its a significant improvement or something new. I don't feel like this is something that would have qualified as that before.

Haven't had chance to check the video yet, but its a little aesthetically underwhelming. Not that it matters, but still, Darkglass tend to care about such things usually. Visually the same as any of their 500w amps.

You made me just look up the costs of a Gigrig pedalboard...absolutely insane! Still, that is a nice selection of pedals, any music to share showing it in action?

Pretty sure there's a free trial offer right now?

Honestly, Tidal's is much, much better that Spotify for me. Yesterday's daily mix I didn't even skip once!

When I heard Charlie when they first revealed it at the Camden show on the radio, I was so excited. But unfortunately it was one of only 2 or 3 funky tracks on there.

Stadium Arcadium was a frustrating release, as I feel that album condensed to a single disk would have enough variety to be really interesting, but as presented it was almost unlistenable without skipping through for me.

People generally don't like the success of others. It's quite an ugly human trait really.

RHCP write all their music through jamming, always have. I meant in the music, as opposed to them as performers. They all have a ridiculous amount of energy for their age!

Main thing your missing is that the Helix is actually a really nice design...

Ah interesting, I didn't have Scar Tissue in my head as the Californication lead. For me, BSSM is one of the best records of all time. In many ways its perfect for me. Naturally it has gone downhill from there, but Californication was a great record. As was By The Way. Stadium Arcadium was just full of filler, a real let down after much hype. If that's the route they've gone again, it'll be very disappointing. But its more because of a move away from funk and punk influences. Frusciante has evolved as a guitarist, but not in a negative way for me. Watching a live performance will show you he hasn't lost anything, he's just changed things up for new music. Mad that you don't hear progression since 1999. I would say each record since has been profoundly different, except maybe the two Josh records, which had a lot of common ground.

It's odd as a lead single. Their lead singes on every record I can remember have far more energy to it than this. Makes me a tad concerned about the album. Certainly agree it has Californication B Side vibes, which was Frusciante's first album back last time as well.

Love how you think he'd sit in a studio and accept the take if it was off in any way. It's his style, man! One of the most iconic styles ever recorded.

I'm lost as to why more people aren't using Tidal. I got it when it was more expensive, but now that its the same price as a lossy Spotify subscription, why stick with Spotify? Tidal has more content, more exclusive content, videos, slicker interface and of course has lossless music as standard. The daily mixes algorithm works much better on Tidal for me as well. Spotify is honestly garbage in comparison, and they've got themselves in a right pickle, promising HiFi but left it too long, and now they'll have to give it for free.

Sorry, but yuk. The headstock with that body looks terrible in my opinion. The whole package just look really cheap?

https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ32Qq_sNg9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Nothing too wild, but its more that I have presets full of captures on my QC that replicate all the drive sounds and combinations made with the ES-5 almost indistinguishably. It's paid for itself on that alone. Its still a work in progress. Beyond filters and pitch shifting there isn't a lot going on synth wise, but they are updating regularly. The Neural DSP Cloud contains by now hundreds if not thousands of captures and presets. Its similar to a social media platform, in that you follow users and "like" presets/captures, the latter allowing you to download them onto your QC direct from the QC. Its a little disorganised and there is no appraisal for uploaded presets, so there is a lot of rubbish on there, but there's some brilliant stuff. Regards to Strymon, again the strength of their effects models is still its weak point, I see plenty of boards with QC's and Strymon stuff still on. But, based on what they're achieving in their plugins, its all to come.

Well this thread has been quiet! Who else has got one? My board has been entirely replaced by it, its absolutely fantastic. They just released a new firmware release today, addressing tons of requests from users on the Discord/FB groups. Really promising how its all developing! https://neuraldsp.com/news/coros-1-3-0-is-now-availalable

From my perspective, one of our guitarists presses play and I can hear 75% of our track mixes in my ears, before any of us pretend to play it all on our instruments. Hope this helps.

Hitler had a hankering for Poland and look how that ended. As good as it may sound, the reality is just too uncomfortable to deal with.

Correct. In truth, it is really quite rare that we have to take down an advert for a Ric copy. And there is no reason for that to change; the rules are exactly the same. If you don't have a genuine Ric to sell, nothing has changed.
