I completely agree. However, the reality is, the people that should be listening to Christie right now, are very clearly and deliberately not listening to him.

According the conservative talk radio I overheard the other day, Christie was being lambasted for being a "fat, butterball, beached whale" and was being lumped in with all the RINO's, Never-Trumpers, Democrats, Liberals and whoever else has now sworn absolute fealty to Trump and thus to be shamed, attacked and most of all ignored.

It was interesting that Christie was being attacked for his weight, but I guess some sort of moral consistency is not really all the important.

just want to add, that every single conservative I know personally has been shitting on Christie and saying they have always despised him.

you know, I went to SpaceDicks one time. The first thing listed there was a link to another subreddit that was entirely pictures of horse dicks. It was around about that time that I reached the conclusion that SpaceDicks wasn't for me.

I find it interesting that they are now also trying to lump in other despots we know they wouldn't agree with, as though trying to gloss over and obfuscate their apparent ties to White Supremacist ideology.

Was there any mention of "reading their quotes" in a context of 'how can we learn from, and not repeat the mistakes of history'?

I do play both bass and guitar... but I've never actually used phaser with bass, so I can't really comment on what would work best it.

When I comes to bass effects, I like filter type effects, but that's pretty much it.

This is a little more niche, but as a hobbyist guitar player, I've wasted a ton of money on gear that had some use, but was mostly redundant or not all that necessary.

But the best purchase I ever made for guitar gear was a Digitech Trio pedal. There was a blow out sale with one of the major music vendors and they were just giving them away for $50. I don't get a chance to play with other folks all that often, and especially over the whole Covid lockdowns, this thing made at-home play/practice just the most fun thing ever. The pedal generates drum and bass parts that will fit whatever chord progression you feed it, so it just fills in the whole rhythm section and you can do whatever you need on top of that.

It gets more use than any other piece of gear I've ever had.

I don't even get the option of 30 ten dollar whores? Cause I think that's the sweet spot right there

I'm not sure if I'm even qualified to answer this question, as the only Tone Bender I've ever used is the Tone Reaper side of the Hoof Reaper pedal. I'd say I find it not overly extreme sounding fuzz.

It has a grainy texture to it, but even at max gain I don't find it to be very raspy or full on square-wave. It is however a great classic rock sound that's more gritty and grainy than a typical distortion like a Rat or DS-1, but isn't really a snarling beast of a fuzz.

Phaser is one that seems to work well both before and after dirt, just depends on what you want to get out of it.

For years I was putting my Phase 90 after dirt and it was pretty cool that way, but it does push the phasing effect to its absolute extreme. Then one day on a lark a couple years back I tried moving the phase before dirt, and just absolutely loved how subtle it sounded. The feeling of movement was still there, but not way in your face any longer, and it just seemed much more natural and beautiful sounding to me.

But it isn't 'wrong' in the slightest to put phase after if having that more extreme sound is what you want/need

How do I get in on Team Beans?

Also, what's the deal with beans?

EHX Big Muff Germanium 4

I picked one up on a lark because it was cheap and I was vaguely curious about it for some years. Turns out it's one of my favorite drive pedals ever. The overdrive side is very light and can be used as a cleanish boost or to add a jangly crunch. The distortion side is a little bland with the Volts knob turned all the way up, but gets a nice velcro splutter with the Volts dialed back. Pretty versatile drive.
