One dozen favorite photos I took in 2025.
All my photos are taken on my property, often from my window. It may have become trite, but there’s a lot of beauty in the mundane world if you stop to look.

@virtuous_sloth @hub @cheeaun no idea!

@aizuchi @kevingamin @alice oh, but, also guitarists, like synth players, like physical knobs for everything. One pedal per function fits in a guitar players brain better than buttons and inscrutable little LCD screens with pages of options and a computer or phone app.
I mostly use regular single function pedals and tube amps, even though I know I could get less noise and more effects from a multi-effects unit or amp for a lot less money.
Monkey brain likes what it likes.

@aizuchi @kevingamin @alice I mean, the amps are still a little limited by their budget. It costs money to make high quality physical stuff, like a speaker. But, even that's gotten better over the years, and their current and previous generations sound quite good.
Another element is a whole generation of players started on a Line 6 back when they weren't so great, so they feel like they have to "graduate" to more expensive stuff. But, it wouldn't pain me to gig a Line 6 Spider or a Catalyst.

@aizuchi @kevingamin @alice a bunch of reasons. It's always been a value brand rather than a boutique brand...there was a time when "low cost" and "quality" didn't really fit together in a digital multi-effect unit. The early POD and Spider models sounded pretty cheesy. But, compute keeps getting cheaper, so they can cram really powerful DSP into cheap devices now, and they've gotten better at the software and modeling side in the 30 years they've been doing it (again, they were very early).

@hub Yeah.
I knew the edits were recorded/visible, I just found it interesting to see one played back "live". Up until now, I've only seen it update slowly like replies etc come in.
I'd be interesting in knowing how it happens (does the client stay connected to my server and the server offers up edited updates when such a connection is maintained?).

@swelljoe @kevingamin @alice why no respect? I mean, i understand that guitar heads have Opinions (tm)

@kevingamin @alice and, because Line6 gets no respect in the used market, you can pick up older models for dirt cheap, and they've been quite good for at least a few generations and ~10 years or more. They were very early to the modeling and multi-effects thing, so they've had plenty of practice.
