What power supply should I use if I want my unit on a pedalboard?

It requires a DC 9v 1000 mA connection, but I can't find any multi output power supplies that have an output over 500 mA

Best hybrid ANC headphones

I’m looking for some good headphones with ANC that I can both use with Bluetooth and wired.

I want as flat of an eq as I can get. I’m probably not gonna be using them for producing music, but I generally don’t like coloring the music I listen to too much.

I’d prefer if they were under $200, but that’s not a hard rule.

Recommendations for a newbie

(I know there is a thread, and I have posted there, but it seems to be kinda dead, so I’m posting here instead (I accidentally rhymed three times there))

I’m starting a Metalcore/Deathcore band, and although I’m pretty familiar with Metalcore as a genre, I haven’t listened to much Deathcore, so I was hoping you guys could give some recommendations.
I especially love 2000’s guitar oriented Metalcore like Trivium and Avenged Sevenfold. I love me a good guitar solo as well.
As for newer stuff, I particularly enjoy some of the stuff by Bury Tomorrow.
I find some Deathcore I’ve heard to be a bit mindless. Just some basic riff repeated over and over again, with some synth layer thrown on it. Although it may sound snobby, i generally prefer my music to be a bit more “sophisticated”.

Bit of a handful, I know. Please tell if you know something you’d think I’d like.

To speed burst or not to speed burst?

I’ve finally discovered the benefits of speed bursting, but I’m having trouble finding which techniques are most effective when speed bursting vs. the ol’ slow it down and slowly speed it up.
I’m finding great success in speed bursting alternate picking, but what about tapping, sweep picking and economy picking?
Would I benefit the most from speed bursting those, or taking the more slow and methodical approach to those?

Tips for fast licks with bends?

It feels like I can’t do fast licks with bends comfortably, as the force required to bend the string quickly tires my hand out, and restricts the other fingers’ movement.
(For reference, see measure 156 for Metallica’s Seek and Destroy)

Google AI says 7 mm, but I wanted to double check, as I know its prone to spread misinformation

Can anyone tell which type of distortion I’ve achieved here? Can’t tell if it’s hyper compressed, twang or something else

If I practice technique for roughly an hour, should I focus on one technique or should spread that time out over a handful of techniques?

Let’s say I want to practice alternate picking, legato, sweep picking, tapping and economy picking. Should I train these techniques for 15 minutes a day every day, or dedicate one hour each day to a separate technique?

I have gotten my frets leveled, and no amount of adjusting the truss rod or the saddles (to a reasonable amount) will eliminate the buzz entirely. So is fret buzz just a thing to expect with newer strings, or have I been doing something wrong for years?
