Do you have a version of this with a bit less jpeg by any chance

This is the best I could find. Looks like op grabbed their copy from reddit. Had to go off the beaten path to find a clearer one.

It still cracks me up that guitar people call filters "wah"

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 12 points 10 months ago

Wah is the movement of a narrow band pass filter in a rather limited range, often done using a somewhat expressive timing.

It's not normally used as a static filter.

[-] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You never used a half-cocked wah? That's a static filter

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Complete layman already confused, what's the difference between a static and pass filter?

[-] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

A dynamic filter will keep changing while a static filter stays at one cutoff frequency. Passive vs active filters are a different situation. Passive filters are just straight forward low/high/band pass filters that don't need a power supply. Active filters use transistors or op amps to boost or attenuate certain frequencies and do require a separate power supply.

So the tone knob on a guitar is a passive static filter. It can be adjusted, but usually it stays in one position once you get it in the right spot. The EQ on certain pedals are active static filters. Wah pedals are usually active dynamic filters, they're constantly changing while you play and also use powered circuitry to achieve the filtering effect.

An old technique is to set the wah pedal as "half cocked", where you set it to a specific spot that you like and then leave it there.

Where's the "running a maxed out HM-2 pedal into a Peavey solid state amp"?

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

I'm drifting from guitar to synth and the language is even more niche and stupid lmao.

Overmystification of guitar tone brought us people that think tone doesn't actually matter...

Hey, I took finding the best Bluetooth speaker to put inside a custom built porcelain WC VERY seriously for my latest black metal album.

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

This frankles me as guitarist of 40 years. I've never played electric so I'm kdomfed.

[-] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 1 points 10 months ago

I've played both electric and acoustic (and bass and banjo) for 35+ years and none of this makes any sense to me either. I suspect it may be an age issue.

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

You sound like a mechanical keyboard enthusiasts.

[-] diykeyboards@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You take that back!

Thock and bonkle are totally different.

That really demystifies a lot of black metal for me. I guess probably because I can actually hear what's going on.

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Totally brillig!

[-] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Wait until you speak to a bass aficionado.

[-] BFrizzleFoShizzle@lemmy.nz 4 points 10 months ago

I'm thirsty, I need wahwah

It stopped being fun when it stopped being analogue
