Guitar Surgery Conclusion

Guitar surgery II

It's a new peddaalll!

So, the new hearing aids came with a new algorithm.
They switched it out with the old algorithm, (remotely, over the internet, which is pretty cool), and instantly my hearing was much, much, better.
“The old algorithm was better”, was not a phrase I ever thought would carry so much meaning to me.

Recording guitar.

Rolled back some 5K. going through an MRX Distortion + into Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb. I like it. I like it a lot!

Guitars.

Amps and drums.

Pedal board.

Guitars! Amps! Drums! Pedals!
These are truly beautiful things.
Woot! Woot!! 

An ear.

This last few months have been very frustrating. I’ve been trying a few new kinds of hearing aids, and I am unimpressed. There to many bells and whistles!
Late stage, capitalism; where we create new technology so that we can sell new technology, good luck getting anything out of it.

Clark Teknik 76-KT rack mount compressor.

Bought this in the winter on back order for a great price. It's clone of an 1176,(very expensive compressor, cost 70 zillion million billion $)

Let's me "sing" like jet engine without breaking things.

Guitar with copper tape in the pickup and control cavities.

First time copper taping.
Whatever am I trying to do?
Think punk rock.

Guitar with only one of two pickups.

Guitar with the pick guard being removed.

Sketch of new pick guard showing only one hole for a single pickup.

One guess what I'm going to do here.

Texty Test

So good the camera had to stage dive.
Then ugly feedback.

Who We Really Are, by The Glumlots track by The Glumlots

Do you sometimes feel like ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!? Here, have some punk rock. Wear your helmet, this one bangs hard from beginning to end.

Thumbs up all the way. Great letter. I've been sober for 36 years. I just wanted to offer some words of support. I think you're making sobriety look really good.
Best of luck!

Honest question. Is it the libs or the Dems? Every liberal I know is sick of blind US support for Israel.
But, I don't have a very big picture view, and almost all of the liberals I know are just those in my side of the city.

In 2016, in response to the election of Donald Trump, Google searches in Soukth Korea for the term maeumui bunggoe skyrocketed.
 Maeumui bunggoe means mind collapse.
More relevant now, than in 2016. Check out the song I wrote upon hearing of this term.
