Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
this whole series is incredible.
tldr: it is empirically demonstrable that most of the tone from a guitar comes from the electromagnetic characteristics of the pickups and electronics, most of the tone from different amp profiles can be traced to EQ of the final output.
That's great but I'm still going to tell people that tone is in their hands.
Tone is stored in the balls cmon every player knows this
This is April Lawton/Poison Ivy/Marissa Paternoster/Yvette Young/Sister Rosetta Tharpe erasure. Among...just so many others
You're right, it is a pretty shitty joke
The tacklebox "amp" that was just a series of boost pedals and passive tone controls was hilarious and I kind of want to build one. A project like that demands something silly like an Electric Amp Innovations headshell with the aftermarket badging, though.
This is really cool!
From a macro perspective though, I would argue that when considering an entire guitar rig, the amp head is going to make the biggest impact on tone.
And uhhhh if anyone ever wants to shoot the shit about amps and gear, holler!
Fun coincidence, I just got done watching the video on microphones.
There are a few issues with the guy's methodology but it's still representative of how most studios get their results, and if it can help combat some of the snake oil that goes around in the music production industry (and god there's so much of it), then that's a good a thing.
