Rothwell Hellbender overdrive (w/ R8 Les Paul)

From the Rothwell website: "The Hellbender is a high quality guitar overdrive pedal, designed and hand made in the UK to give guitarists a touch responsive and dynamic distortion effect which will range from a very mild and subtle overdrive to a rich, saturated, singing lead tone. Unlike most distortion pedals available today the Hellbender uses more than one stage of distortion and more than one distortion mechanism. This gives a more realistic emulation of valve amp being driven hard. As you pick harder the different distortion mechanisms come into play to give your playing a much more responsive sound. The Hellbender is also capable of higher output than many other distortion pedals (up to 3.6 volts pk-pk) and even with the gain set to its lowest level where the sound is almost totally clean a healthy volume boost is achievable. The Hellbender is not a digital model of anything, nor does it claim to recreate the sound of any particular vintage or modern amp, and isn't designed to be used for recording direct into a mixer or computer. This overdrive is intended for use the old fashioned way - between a guitar and amp, either on stage or mic'd up in a studio. The guitar, pedal and amplifier should work in synergy to allow you to create your own sound. Any good guitarist's signature sound comes not only from their equipment but from their particular approach to picking, pick attack, pick angle, vibrato etc. The Hellbender will allow these playing subtleties to come ...

How To Beat Egg Whites

Beating Egg Whites When you are beating egg whites, use room temperature eggs in order to get the most volume. You can use a handheld mixer or a stand mixer, but if you use a stand mixer, watch carefully because it's easy to overbeat. If you're using a handheld mixer with attachments, use the whisk attachment. The first stage of beating egg whites is the foamy stage. When lightly beaten to this stage, the whites will look bubbly and foamy. The next stage is the soft peak stage. When the egg whites are beaten to soft peak stage, the whites will mound, but no sharp tips will form. When the recipe calls for egg whites that are beaten to the stiff peak stage, beat until sharp tips form when the beaters are lifted. When egg whites are overbeaten, they look curdled and dry. There's no restoring overbeaten egg white, so you'll need to start again. Here's how to get egg whites like a pro.
