stupid first world problems you're dealing with

autocorrect keeps changing "whatever" to "whate'er." what the fuck is that shit?

I clicked a wrong icon on my desktop when I tried to open soulseek. Now Sequoiaview is scanning my harddisk for 10 minutes.

Both Playground festival and Bangface are cancelledr! When can I fucking See Squarepusher again FFS!

I have to park my new used black car by the landlady's overnight timed sprinklers and when I wake up in the morning my car is covered in hard water marks that don't come out unless one uses vinegar or some kind of chemical treatment.

"using"

I can't find my favorite distortion pedal and have a noise show in a week. It was also the first pedal I ever got (i think I was 10). So this is shitty for both practical and personal reasons.

Sux.

Which one?

The DOD Thrash Master.... which I found! It was at a friend's house for some weird reason (I've never had cause to use it there, but maybe it got transferred along with some cables). Also found was my Marshal channel switching pedal, which I thought had been lost at a show a few months ago. Funny enough, since putting the thrash master back into the pedal array I've decided it doesn't actually improve things. So I subbed in my boss compressor pedal and that gave it the extra kick it needed. This should really be in the First World Success thread, but I'm here now.

nice

All those DOD distortion pedals are amazing. I have a DOD Corrosion (black letters) that I use for 101 acid magic: I've never heard more gnarly textures in my life.

I hate the current place I live. Got stuck with some crazy hag who's "babysitting" the place while the owner is out of town for a couple weeks. She rambles on about a bunch of meaningless "spiritual" bullshit and keeps wanting to give us hugs and massages. And her son recently committed suicide, right before I first met her.
So we all bolted for the weekend and she's there by herself. I'm glad it's only month-to-month rent, cuz I'm gonna GTFO as soon as I can. Fuck crazy old ladies.

Oh, hi guys.

Yeah those DOD pedals are excellent. I have the Death Metal distortion; it's pretty brutal. I should start using it again actually.

I have a DOD Grunge pedal from high school. The jack is a bit dwanky, but it's the easiest guitar distortion I like.

Fuck yeah DOD for lyfe!

watmm needs a distortion pedal sub forum.

I just did pretty good needle drops of the Steinvord EP and Skull Snap EP, but the highs are just slightly rolled off on my setup. Better than the peaky highs on the mp3s I'd found, but still. Also I can never normalize anything to sufficient loudness to mix with the rest of my digital files.

Check your low frequencies, perhaps? There might be some inaudible sub frequencies in there ruining it for everyone else.

i am a total dorkus and typo'd my own postal code on my order of tomorrow's harvest, meaning it will probably take me several weeks to receive it. ugh.

I've got a high-pass filter on from my phono pre... I don't know, the bass sounds pretty good without any rumble.

Also, some component of my (cheap) turntable picks up high frequency noises (eg the cymbal crashes) and broadcasts it into the room acoustically, so there's always a loud hiss coming from the turntable even with the dust cover closed (the records have been cleaned--it's not that). Don't know if it's the tonearm not being damped properly (I don't know how this works) or the ATN3600L stylus or what? Wondering if having the highs go through as an acoustic vibration is contributing to the highs being rolled off coming from my pre-amp.

It all sounds pretty good through the speakers, just missing a tiny bit of sizzle. I mean, it's vinyl, though, right?
