I had a good laugh today

This picture of the workspace certainly is :ROFLMAO:

He either doesn't realize it's obvious or doesn't even try to hide it. The file name of the image is "ChatGPT-Image-Dec-28-2025-at-03_28_34-PM.webp"

Hairyan Kling should fire that Chet GPT guy — all he does is yak all day, talks himself up as all that,
but can't even change the F^&*I burnt out light bulbs at SchlocktaRing HQ.

Also, Chet's surname... Is that Slavic or something? Reminds me of the Chinese name "Ng" — I had a girlfriend with that surname... I saw her in a crowd one day and trying to get her attention so we could have lunch together shouted her surname, but she didn't hear me.
Maybe I should've shouted her first name, "Ivy".
 
he might go sell these pedals for 1/3 to recoup any losses,
I'd be surprised if he's paying more than $60/unit for them. Granted, there's some other (minimal) overhead.

soon, it will chug
Oh, I'm all over that.

SchlocktaRing
Nicely done.

Chinese name "Ng"

Heh, yeah! Can't wait for the mods on this board that approximate the promised specs!
I wonder how you would approximate an out-of-phase sound in a circuit like this. Of course it won't be totally the same as having the pickups wired like that normally, since the idea is that you get two different pickup signals where one has the phase flipped and combine them, right? Is it basically just comb filtering?

You could rig up a guitar with two outputs, record both a normal bridge pickup (for example) and some kind of an out-of-phase signal at the same time, and see if you could somehow replicate that with just EQ moves, maybe? Or you need to indeed split the signal, then do some tricks, and combine them again. Would a very short delay do it? Or maybe some other EQ moves that change the phase? Band pass filter? Just wing it and test shit out on the breadboard?

Rest of the copy is mostly just bullshit that tries to make it sound nice but doesn't actually promise anything concrete. I guess you need to stick a transformer in there, not sure what you would achieve with it, exactly. Pickup simulator I guess?
 
#1: regarding the Australian cost of living tangent: it's hard to feel pity for you with your unlimited shrimps and barbies. If things aren't working, try making them out of shrimps and barbies?

And by tasty cheese DC food truck, I really hope this was not of the ones on the Smithsonian mall. Those ones are scams and no [for real, don't eat there--the smithsonian museums have expensive but decent cafeterias.]

#2: hold on to your hats, guise. I might have no proof, but that's the best proof.

I am fully convinced at this point that Aryan King is entirely AI-generated. The Jack Moore pic on the "blog" is. His fascination with Montreal coatmakers is very suspect. Maybe Alexey Dovnar is doing the Russian thing and pushing the boundaries of graft and reality in a very niche market direction: PAF worshipping American dad rockers. But I have a better idea of who the puppet master pulling the strings is right here.

Riddle me this: Cui Bono? Why did the thread on TGF suspiciously disappear? Why is this discussion so hot on this forum? Who holds the keys to reality of said forum? Who has suspiciously held an "actual unit" and denied the AI-generated possibility of said picture? Who has been able to pivot soooo quickly to offer an oh-so-convenient "replica" board? Who seems to have an affinity for beards and has played a les paul? Who has a name suspiciously close to Robot? I think you know who. Our circuitous secret overlord:






















Feral Feline.


(Shhh.... It's Robert!)

Probably a two-stage phaser? Or you could split the signal and simulate a bridge and neck pickup with a band lass and low pass, respectively, then sum them out of phase. I imagine you could get similar results with a static two-stage phaser if you took the time to tune it.

or you can slap a capacitor on it and call it a day. don't forget to patent that shit
 
Gotta read the fine print...

Is this the prototype up for sale under the Machete Pedals section?

This is his partners site... Alexey/dr nitro/8bomb

If you look at the other Machete pedals it might explain (but not excuse) all the reclaimed parts verbage in some of the marketing

and is this the gold submarine parts or whatever that nonsense was?
