right place right time and right attitude...between lars and hetfields egos, they found someone who'd just shut up and play

and quite frankly that has served kirk very well. i can't stand his playing but dude hit a home run by probably just keeping his mouth shut most of the time lol

It makes a lot of sense tbh

I don't know if their band dynamic would even work with a lead guitarist who wasn't a sloppy lazy fuck who refuses to do anything except smoke weed and cry

72 seasons is the first album where lars and hetfield let go of the "controls"...the result in my opinion is horrendous

and i say that as someone who loves load and reload...just my opinion though, kirk's still laughing all the way to the bank lololol

i just think sometimes, of all the guitar player talent in the 80s that was available....and they went with THAT GUY lololololol....fucked up man hah

It makes sense as interpersonal dynamics for sure, though

Honestly I think @japetus could do it himself

I did a DR103 clone recently and it turned out fucking great, I just had to take my time

I built one and it seemed too bright (having never played a real one). It was like I couldn’t possibly dial it down to ‘not bright enough’. It was either bright or brighter or brighterer.

So just very recently I did a couple of simple mods to that weird af Presence circuit and that helped a ton without changing the voice. It actually only comes in when you turn the Presence down, if the Presence is up it’s pretty much as-stock.

1) Remove that 470r connected to the 10k and 10n cap on the NFB line. That 470r+10n are dumping upper highs in the NFB to ground so they no longer get fed back. So those frequencies are always ‘on 10’.

2) Add a 4n7 cap in parallel with the 1n cap on the Presence control. When you turn the Presence control up it dumps highs in the NFB to ground so they no longer get fed back. More brightness. But when you turn it down in doesn’t dump those highs in the NFB to ground AND simultaneously it does dump highs from the PI input signal to ground. And that allows you to adjust it to ‘not bright enough’ if you zero the Presence control.

And now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I've never had a brightness problem with mine 🤷

Although, the bmt does not function like fender or Marshall at all, so the settings would seem weird to someone dialing it in like that

This concept has truth ? I know childhood events become the scaffold for learned behavior but why comedy? Specifically in this arena; Looking for love in brotherhood where there was a void? Intelligent adult figures who know music/electronics who we substitute for our mom and dad? “Look at me, I got jokes”.
This one comment could be an entire thread on its own. Maybe not for this forum but the psychology behind comedy and why we perceive things as funny or salty or dark is truly stemmed from our past experiences.
I personally use comedy to get away from what I see on a daily basis in my own life; pain, suffering and end of life decisions. I see dozens of people passing through the Kubler-Ross model of grief every day and I think because of that my escape is music and salty comedy. I actually perform live the exact same way. What if comedy is used by some as a defense shield. Stupid joke means stupid person ie covering up intelligence to prevent from exposing themselves. idk. Food for thought on an early Saturday morning.
To sum up; I’m not sure comedy is always a sin. Pope Gregory did not classify comedy in the 7 sins.
This post is not meant to be cross. Just a different perspective as my work partner says the exact same thing as @shredi knight. He gets along fine without comedy in his life as he uses organization and strict order to cope. Not right or wrong, just a mechanism.

Good morning alund. I thought you spoke well. Humor and laughter bring light and joy to the hearts of others. Frivolous laughter, inappropriate laughter, or laughing at someone else's expense can be considered a sin.

Can’t funny stuff be posted just cause it’s funny and others might share in that humor though?
