Amp head Burning smell, speaker hum….

So I use a Mesa boogie filmore 100 head. I just got the filmore cabinet. I used to use a 4x12 roc pro cabinet. I have 2 of these exact same mesa heads. Tonight while playing I smelled this burning smell coming from the amp and then it started to hum. I was getting this popping sound when hitting the standby switch. The kind of sound you get when the standby is off and you accidentally turn the guitar amp off. I thought it was an issue with the head so I tried my other head and it’s doing the same thing. It also feels like the amp is overheating in a way… any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you ever reconciled after a breakup with an ex, how long did you do No Contact and how did it go?

Pretty much what the title says…. How long did you go no contact, why did you decide it was time to break NC, how did you do it, and how was your journey the next time around?

Understanding the meaning of God’s Will

I have been going through a tough time in my life and many people have told me to pray for God’s Will. I have a hard time understanding the meaning behind that. I understand God is all powerful and all knowing. What I struggle with is whether my life’s path is already determined or that life is like an experiment, and I can pray for intercession that my life may get better? I’d like to think that it is not God’s will for bad things to happen in this world. I’d like to think prayer has meaning. Sometimes I fear my future may not be bright so I don’t want to think that it is God’s will that is true. I’d appreciate any insight on what God’s Will truly means.

Guidance during a tough time

Hi, I (34) have been going through a very tough time after a breakup with my ex girlfriend 3 months ago. I not only lost her but her family that I was close with. We were best friends and there’s such a loneliness in my life. We dated for 2 years

Part of the reason she dumped me is due to me being religious and she is not and thinks it will come between us down the road with marriage and kids. I pray every day that she finds faith and I pray for the reconciliation of our relationship. She was so special to me.

I have been feeling like my life will never get better and I will never find anyone as special. Feeling that way also makes me feel like I doubt the lord will guide me towards happiness. I’m just in such a bad place and have lost hope for myself. I pray to St. Xenia as well to guide me to the right woman for me. I’m not the most patient person either so that doesn’t help.

I’d appreciate any prayers that would be beneficial for me or anyone that has been in my shoes and can relate. Every day I want to believe God has something better waiting for me but I’m just in such a negative place, I struggle with being positive

Help choosing Boogie Cab

Hi, so I play a mesa Fillmore 100 at home through a 4x10 fender roc pro cabinet. These cabinets are not expensive ($200) and sound great but it’s all my Fillmore has been plugged in to. I need a smaller cab for playing out. The roc pro cabinets are closed back. Should I get a closed back boogie cab or the actual Fillmore cab that matches the amp and is open back. I play funk rhythm guitar and leads. Thanks for any advice!

Finding an Orthodox significant other, is it even possible?

I (34M) really don’t think I’ll ever meet an orthodox woman. It’s unfortunate but I have come to terms with it. I live in PA and the only orthodox women I have ever met are old or relatives. I’ve gone to various churches and typically the same scenario. I actually do struggle to find women who are even Christian or even believers. I don’t want to be single so I typically have to settle and try to show them the importance of Christianity…. and that’s never easy… I don’t think my generation really cares about religion which is sad. I’d love to meet a compatible, attractive orthodox woman but for most of my life I said I don’t think that’s even possible. Anyone here relate, have pointers? Im not trying to be negative, its just been my experience

Having a hard time but here’s something I try to say to myself daily…..

Almost 3 months of getting dumped and it hasn’t been easy. Thought I’d be in a way better place now and I’m not. A lot of times I say I wish I could just fast forward life…. but then this is something I need to remind myself….

You might not feel good right now but also cherish the things that are around you because one guarantee is…. life always changes and though you’re missing things currently, you will one day miss the things you currently have.

Really curious on thoughts about how my ex is using Snapchat….

My ex dumped me 2.5 months ago. We’ve been no contact for 2 months on her terms of me waiting for her to reach out and respect her space…

I love to use Snapchat. I used it a ton during our relationship and she would complain we should text. I just love the ease of it. My ex always told me she only has it for me or she’d delete it. Since we broke up she still has it and we’re friends.

Last week she posted on her story…. Something very weird for a person who hates Snapchat. She never once did it in the 2 years we dated. I contemplated watching it and ended up doing it. So she knows I looked at her story. Today she did it twice…. I have yet to view it.

Now I know I can be looking into this too much but do you think she’s doing this to see if I view her story? Also… do you you think I should view it or not? Again… she knows I’m a huge snap user. And I’d like to think this has nothing to do with another guy because she could just snap him individually. Appreciate thoughts….

When to rip the bandaid off and start dating again?

I got dumped by my ex of 2 years, two months ago. Nothing bad other than her concerns over the future. I miss her and her family like crazy. Last time we spoke which was over a month ago she told me I need to respect her space and wait for her to reach out. I miss her so much and I can’t believe she hasn’t reached out. Part of me thinks she’s never going to. She stated she was drowning in negativity tho she too created issues for me.

I feel like the only way I ever will get over her is meeting someone new. Trying to get that love and good feelings back in my life. Maybe from someone who will treat me better. Has anyone tried this and it worked? Maybe weren’t over their ex but got over them by dating someone new? I’m at a point where I don’t think I’ll stop missing her, I can’t even get angry at her, and I think the only fix is seeing if I find someone better. Would love to hear thoughts

2 months later and I continue to wake up with anxiety… does it stop?

I (34M) was dumped almost 2 months ago after a close to 2 year relationship. No one cheated and I think I’ll always be hopeful we can reconcile. Haven’t heard from her in a month and she wants me to respect her space. As much as it kills me, I know no contact is the only way. Every morning she’s the first thing that comes to mind and I have a pit in my stomach. I cannot seem to shake it. Has anyone else experienced this and does it go away? Any tips on how to get over it?

I do think about her constantly throughout the day as well, and my anxiety comes in waves. I pray every morning. I just want to start feeling better, I have never felt this bad for this long in my life

Convince me my life isn’t over

I, 34m, was dumped 1.5 months ago. Haven’t heard back. Dating apps have been absolute garbage with barely any likes. I’m not young anymore, though I feel in my 20s. I really feel like my dating life is over. My area has nothing to offer me. I’ll never find better than my ex. If you were at this point and can relate and make me feel positive, I’d appreciate it.

Looking for a prayer for those who have doubt

Hi, I’m searching for a prayer for someone who has doubt and struggles with belief in Christianity. I am orthodox. This person is someone I had a relationship with but has become distant due to her struggles with belief. I’d appreciate any prayers and any recommendations of saints to pray to. It is very difficult these days to spread belief, especially my younger generation 20-30s. But I don’t believe in ever giving up and I pray this person will come back to me and have faith or a yearning to learn and try.
