Why is it that you always realize that you are missing one part -- ONLY AFTER placing your Mouser order?

I believe that’s pedal builders law.

New amp day! Love this Supro Statesman, I thought It would have more break up at lower volumes but is super clean! Takes my pedals like a champ, and has a growl with just the right boost. The hoard, I mean collection is growing

Reminds me of the one I’ve been crunching number trying to see if I can make work (anyone know what a kidney goes for these days?!)

$500 off!!!

You got me to go look!

I’m jealous, but I think I’m still gonna stick with Epiphone unless a big pile of money falls out of the sky.

That’s respectable, the new ones are really sharp.

Hey I’m contemplating selling a kidney here. I feel where you are coming from!!

I was swimming in that deep end until last weekend (including a trip to Sam Ash to test drive those newer Gibson LP Standards). I like that they discontinued weight relief and went back to flame maple tops on the standard models but the necks were either too thin or too chunky for me. I'm super happy for your NGD all the same because I was seriously a coin flip away from being there myself. I decided my next LP style guitar would be a Pro Jet, preferably a used Gretsch G5439, and went in another direction for NGD

About 1.50/ea on Ali

Note the 19mm and 22mm have the same size indicator, just a thicker bezel. I opted for 16mm as they're the most shallow. Also, they are chrome, not black chrome. They have an internal CLR as well.
I bought some of the tricolor 12v ones as well but they are common anode not common cathode as pictured which is good imo. If all 3 are connected, green will illuminate. Red and yellow will turn on simultaneously. Could use in a combo build. Of effect red, the other yellow, both orange.

I bought a bunch of those in a few different sizes and colors from Ali also. Not sure where to use them as they’re fairly large. Maybe an amp.

But they have gold knobs -- you should just walk away and be glad the they didn't convince you to buy gold hardware...

I love this guitar.

Similar story here. I’ve started using the NIOSH Sound Level Meter app on my phone all the time. Out of curiosity at first (my car seemed super loud on the highway and i wanted to get a sense for just how bad it was), and now as a preventative measure when seeing live music or whatever. I’ve even used it to convince a venue bartender to use his earplugs more often

A couple years ago I got some of those Loop earplugs that are supposed to allow midrange sounds through so you can still hold a conversation. I’m skeptical of the company’s claims, but they aren’t nearly as disorienting as those orange foam earplugs and they’re comfortable enough that i find I’m more likely to use them. The attenuation isn’t enough for, say, a punk show in a small venue, but probably good enough for tamer situations.

Any ear protection is good ear protection. Personally I have been using Eargasims for years, but I'm starting to think that the best solution is ear molded in ear monitors. I need to be able to hear exactly what I am doing, but at a level that isn't killing my ears.

Ha! I’m fine with gold knobs.
I think my aversion just applies to things that are “supposed to be” silver colored.

I feel the same way about gold bathroom faucets.

Love this. My response is to use them everywhere you can -- modify your coffee pot, add them to you fish tank, build an amp, etc., etc. I mean these things are cool, and they don't just belong in pedal electronics.

Oh, okay. Tell that to your wife on your wedding day -- sorry honey, I felt like silver was the better choice for your wedding ring because I have an aversion to gold. (You do know that I am just messing with you? -- my sense of humor sometimes falls flat in this medium).

I’ll do you one better. Married a girl who doesn’t like rings at all. Got married on a sidewalk in front of a giant dinosaur. No rings required.

I didn’t even think you were messing with me! I thought you just really liked ugly tuners!

Touché my friend.
