@deeppaann If Lions produce a cross-sling bag, I will buy it. The team spirit - even after every setback - is actually refreshing to see...for once in a rather long time.

@deeppaann Actually, this Thai team was quite beatable in the first half. The standard is no longer like the Tom Yum Thais like before. Now like just 'Less Spicy'.

The Lions hv ideas. But they were just caught napping at the back.
They just need to continue making moves in the second half.

[Deepanraj Ganesan @deeppaann]

Put the result aside. It’s great to be in the semis.

But what makes me proudest is that we now have a Lions side that puts everything on the line.

THAT Shah block. Lionel running till he couldn’t any more. Nur Adam covering every inch down that left. I could go on.

BUZZING.

@tadaCo_blue I like seeing your blue guitars. Just saw this. Didn't know this model came in blue too. I think Bryan Adams plays this model but his is gold - https://t.co/zqWUxgWLlF

@GuitarWorld Plugins are for reinvention? Here's my musical partner's shocker of a take on the new plugin by Mr Mayer: https://t.co/OB4o6Ls94i

[Ernest Luis @ernestluis]

My partner in 'Parting Clouds', Eden, tries John Mayer's new landmark plugin by @NeuralDSP but does something different with Mr Mayer's new online 'rig'. The screengrabs show his settings as he uses an @ibanezofficial Strat clone. How tonesters, whaddya think?😜

[Ernest Luis @ernestluis]

@MusicRadar So my friend takes Mr Mayer's plugin and does his own thing! https://t.co/OB4o6Ls94i

@JohnMayer @NeuralDSP my musical partner tries something different with Mr Mayer's plugin. Pls don't arrest him, tone police! https://t.co/OB4o6Ls94i

It seems this is a watershed moment in guitar gear history, representing a possible shift in the way guitarists play at home, right through to being in studios and even live?

[John Mayer @JohnMayer]

This video was taken the day I played through the first build of the @NeuralDSP Archetype JM X plugin. We’d set up my amp rig in the live room and were switching between the rig and the plugin. I threw every test at it; does turning the volume knob to 5 create a natural response in tone? It did. Does a single note that’s held die out without a noise gate eating it or the “math” just giving up? It did. Do two notes bent at once with distortion on create natural harmonic overtones exactly like the amps in the room? They did, exactly. I had the engineer switch between signals without my knowing. “That’s the amps,” I’d guess. “Plugin,” the engineer would say, several times. It had fooled me. Neural DSP had done it. It wasn’t just a faithful recreation of my sound - it was the first plugin I’d ever heard that proved that digital modeling could create a digital emulation with zero compromises.

I’d like to say that we went back and forth countless times, making tweaks until it was right, but the truth is that they pretty much nailed it on the first try. Only a few EQ changes and some changes to a couple of the effects pedals were needed. The thousands of hours of creation came to fruition yesterday when the plugin was released, and it’s been a joy to see and hear players putting this software to the test and being as impressed as I was in this video.

Thank you to every guitar player who created such clever and great sounding presets and for spreading the word. I can’t wait to hear all the new music that’s created with this plugin. Getting my sound is just the beginning of what it can do, and I can’t wait to hear what musicians create with it.

Get into the new Hard Tackle Podcast channel from The Straits Times

Coming to you once a month from April. Dare I say, the one local sports show/pod where we pose the pertinent/hard questions to guests.

Can watch the replay over and over again. Such an iconic run. Towards the end of the bend, the burst of power seemingly taking her a bit more to the right before she drifted in closer to angle nicely for the finishing stint. You made us tear with you during the anthem Shanti 💪

@deeppaann I think I may have to read your story 5 more times, then read Coldplay and Taylor Swift 2 more times, and then your story 5 more times again. I can see many vested parties more than happy to avoid the Hard Tackle!
