So I had a La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor today and I noticed something was off. The cigar tasted weird and the center of the ash was black. I smoked a few from this batch and none of them did this. There were no draw or burning issues, but I had to give up on after the first half because it was tasting worse by the minute.
My cigars are properly humidified and this is the first time I see this happening. Why?
So I'm waiting for my guitar to be shipped in about a month and I'm curious if anyone has experience with this combination, since most Aristides players are oriented towards metal and high gain pickups and I don't consider myself part of the target audience.
My guitar is going to have a single Seymour Duncan '78 humbucker in the bridge (which is a low output Alnico II pickup originally made for EVH) and a single volume knob that has a push/pull switch that goes from series to parallel. I like to play anything from blues to Pink Floyd to Megadeth.
How do they sound and feel in an Aristides?
So I'm getting a custom guitar and it's going to have a single Seymour Duncan '78 humbucker in the bridge with a single volume + coil split. Which pot should I go with in this situation?
As the title says...after a PC restart, Brave gave me a warning. Something like "In order to protect you we blocked something", some optional data submission and homepage-related settings were changed and for a moment I thought I was compromised, but no! Kaspersky says the board is green. There was no Brave update during this time.
Here's the strange part: all usernames are still there, but none of the passwords.
I've been researching and this issue has been persistent for years! Why isn't it being fixed?
I was in the market for a handmade PTP tube amp and everyone told me that the US and UK are pretty much my only options to find what I want and while there are great products for sure, I've seen some crazy prices, up to $4000 ± VAT and shipping, so I was very frustrated not being able to find a European option that would suit my needs.
When I was just about to pull the trigger on a Dr. Z, someone sent me a picture of the inside of an FX amp and when I looked closer I was amazed by what I saw! These guys build top-notch cabinets and amplifiers (PTP on terminal strips or PCB - as a more affordable option) for very reasonable prices! You can also customize the functionality, every knob, switch and even the whole appearance. Head + cabinet or combo, the choice is yours!
So I talked to the owner for like 4 hours. He builds everything and he walked me through all the options, provided great advice and recommendations and I got myself a custom handmade amp plus a cabinet!
By comparison, the head was about €400 cheaper than the Dr. Z, and it has 3 channels, as opposed to one, separate EQ for each channel, as opposed to one shared EQ, making it much more versatile. I even got a discount and the final price for the amp was €1690, tax included and free shipping.
Just for disclosure, I'm not affiliated with them in any way. I'm just a happy customer who wanted to share his story. For anyone else who's in a similar situation, I highly recommend them.
