Best amp/fx setup for that classic metal sound at home
  • The DSL40 sounds very appealing indeed, and not too pricey. I'll go around and look for it at the local guitar store. I've also frequently seen those Katanas mentioned above which I'll have to try. Thanks.

  • Best amp/fx setup for that classic metal sound at home
  • Thanks. Hoping to figure this out around $500. I don't need loads of power so that should help the budget.

    I don't have experience with amp modellers in the FX loop. This works differently from multi-fx pedals with preamp simulations? I plug my guitar into my GT-1, which goes into the instrument input of my amp (a Rumble 100). No matter what I tweak with this setup, I fail to get it to sound believably "classic rock" so far.

  • Best amp/fx setup for that classic metal sound at home
  • Ah yes I should've specified. It's a Rumble 100. Yeah, that's a bass amp as I was primarily playing bass when I bought it. It does sound surprisingly excellent when I play clean-ish guitar through it, but with the GT-1 I can't quite get a satisfying overdrive tone, no matter what pre-amp simulation I select on the GT1. With the amp set to clean, 0 gain. The master volume is plenty to make it loud. But yeah, I just can't get this combination to reproduce what I'm looking for.

    Perhaps it's the speaker cone itself which is holding it back. I hadn't considered that yet. Thanks.

  • Best amp/fx setup for that classic metal sound at home

    I mostly play and enjoy the sound of "classic" metal. 1980s Judas Priest. Metallica. Maiden. Etc.

    What's a good amp/fx setup to reproduce this sound at modest volumes?

    I have a friend with a Marshall stack, which sounds amazing but I have neither the budget or the space for something like this. I currently have a Fender amp with a Boss GT-1 effects pedal, which is quite good but no matter what I do I never quite get this to reproduce the tone I'm looking for.

    Will a small Marshall combo amp like a MG30GFX work for me? Does it make sense to go for low-wattage tube amps over solid state? Thoughts?

  • I'm guessing regular non-LP DDR works fine socketed in desktops because power is nearly a non-issue. Need to burn a few watts to guarantee signal integrity? We've got a chonky PSU, so no problem. On mobile devices however every watt matters..

  • How hard can generating 1024-bit primes really be?
  • I doubt doing it in software like that outperforms sqrtss/sqrtsd. Modern CPUs can do the conversions and the floating point sqrt in approximately 20-30 cycles total. That's comparable to one integer division. But I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

  • How hard can generating 1024-bit primes really be?
  • Well, yeah, but you asked why they didn't use integer sqrt. It's something many programming languages just don't have. Or if they do, it's internally implemented as a sqrt(f64) anyway, like C++ does.

    Most CPUs AFAIK don't have integer sqrt instructions so you either do it manually in some kind of loop, or you use floating point...

  • Anger builds over sweeping change in the way most Californians will pay for electricity
  • California somehow never fails to do the wrong thing when it comes to utilities.

    The problem isn't people with a few solar panels on their houses, the problem is climate change and poorly maintained infrastructure leading to wildfires and massive liabilities. Perhaps if these liabilities would come out of PG&Es absurdly high profits they'll be motivated to rethink how maintenance and wildfire risk is mitigated.

  • How hard can generating 1024-bit primes really be?
  • The builtin u64.isqrt seems to be available in nightly only, and additionally I guess the author didn't want to use any external crates as part of their self-imposed challenge. Though I think there may be an off-by-one result with f64.sqrt I don't think this functionally breaks their u64 code because they loop to root_n + 1.

  • How hard can generating 1024-bit primes really be?
  • The author pointed out they also could've just called openssl prime -generate -bits 1024 if they weren't trying to learn anything. Rebuilding something from scratch and sharing the experience is valuable.
