So, I fucked around with it a bit and your suggestion did the trick. For some reason, I think I tried that a while back and had issues with the power supply. I hadn't moved it back to that position after getting new cables. Anyways, I appreciate your help

  • Help with Wah (lemmy.world)
     

    I have a Cry Baby (original) wah as the first pedal in my chain. The next pedal is a Death by Audio Fuzz War, followed by a Boss Blues driver overdrive. When I click on the Wah, does absolutely nothing if the Fuzz war is on, but it works perfectly fine with the Blues Driver if I bypass the Fuzz war. Anyone have any ideas why this would be?

    I think another thing that people miss is that anything you HAVE to do (i.e. responsibility) is going to get old at some point. My "dream" would be to make its as a musician, but even that would get tiring and monotonous at some point after doing it over and over again. I mean, I'd still take that life, but every job has plusses and minuses.

    Yes, good point. I used that term incorrectly. And I didn't intend to disparage any major. If you have the cash, by all means, study what you want and enjoy learning. I have an art degree myself. I just didn't need the degree to get a job. I could have built a portfolio on my own if I had the motivation.

    Purely from the academic side...

    1. Go to class. Don't take online/remote classes if possible. Don't skip. If you need extra incentive, calculate how much you are spending per class. Getting your ass out of your dorm/apartment will help motivate you and do more stuff. This will be an unpopular opinion, but I suggest taking the earliest classes you can and stacking them up. It will give you more time to get your work done later.

    2. Sit in the FRONT row. It will help you pay attention. Take notes. Not on a laptop. By hand. Writing will help you remember.

    3. Work hard/play hard. Weekends are yours, but weekdays are for getting shit done. This will help you build good habits for after you are done with school. College is super expensive. Don't fuck it up.

    4. Don't take a major that doesn't have some type of acreditation. Again, this will be unpopular, but ask yourself if you could learn stuff on your own/through experience/as a student-at-large. Accounting: yes. Medicine: yes. MBA: yes. Law: yes. You can't do those things without college. Art: no. Philosophy: no. Just go DO those things. Take a class if you want to strengthen your skills, but you need to be incredibly driven to succeed.
