She Has Great Enunciation

January 9, 2023

I never knew the lyrics to this song. Who can understand Australians anyway? They barely speak English. Just watch Braveheart and try to figure out what the hell is going on. To me, this song was always "Back in Black ... random hollering ... Back in Black ... etc." Which is fine, it's a great song. But she's actually pronouncing words. I'm not even sure she speaks English, she's probably doing it all phonetically with cue cards. But she sure has great enunciation.

Slava Ukraine !!!

Actually, now that I hear them, the lyrics are a lot of nonsense anyway.

Artec EXP Active Tone Control

August 23, 2020

My verdict on active tone controls for a guitar is that they are not worth it. There is already plenty of treble, and not enough bass that boosting it will make much difference. If you want to try an active control on a guitar, try an onboard distortion instead.

But the Artec EXP tone control is a funny thing. In the middle, it gives a flat clean boost. Turn it forward, and you get a high/low boost, or what amounts to a mid-scoop. Turn it back, and it gives a mid-boost. Sounds interesting, so I decided to try one.
