Agreed. I do not have MyQ by choice, and I'm actively looking for a new solution now that I can't connect via Home assistant, but honestly I don't love either solution shared in this article. Perhaps someone in the community will reverse engineer the MyQ controllers or MIM the API to enable local network control (see local tuya)

Wow. Those pickups look crazy. Three blades? And I love that bridge. How does it sound?

To get a real authentic heavy sound, you probably need something that can move some air. The cab may be more important that the amp in this case. I would see if one of those mini/lunchbox Rectifiers or Peaveys work for your style, and try to get one of those used along with either an oversized 1x12 cab, or a 4x12. The 4x12 cab is the only real way you'll get that low-mid thump that you always hear on metalcore and death metal albums.

The tried and true match for that sound is 5150/6505 with a Mesa 4x12 ... But even used, you aren't going to get those in this budget.

One other recommendation... Depending on what guitar plugins you've tried, just getting better IRs could make a huge difference. If you aren't using Neural DSP plugins, I would suggest trying some, or using GGD's Studio cab packs.

Real amps are more fun IMO, but with such a low budget, better plugins may be a better bang for your buck.

I have to say the same for the Kia EV6. After a fill charge, driving a few miles on the road yields a very accurate estimate.

Been there. Unfortunately the only real way to fix this is to disassemble. Luckily, it looks like you have hot swap sockets for your switches. This is sooo much worse if you have to desolder all of those switches.

I don't think Drop has had a great reputation in the community as of late anyway. But it will be interesting to see what happens with the more obscure items that Drop regularly stocks... I.e. OLKB orthos and other split and abnormal layout keyboards.

Perhaps you sound like a FireFox or otherwise Anti-Brave shill

Blood Eagle by Periphery is pretty damn heavy, but it may sound like noise on the first listen. The mix is dense, so it can take a minute to really digest what you're hearing.
