Ohhh very nice. On my list of wants. sooooon

xayk · January 16, 2014, 10:27:10 PM

Had a need for a lower wattage head, figured, why not me? Now I need a nice 2x12. Anyone?

Also got a '74 Gibson EB-3L bass that a) had it's lower bout destroyed and re-glued and b) got re-wired for a single tone, single volume. And it it kinda needs a bridge. And it sounds like warm doom itself and I love it.

And I got a bolt-on 70's Epi acoustic that needed a shim, bridge adjustment, fret job, and new strings, and now sounds just awesome.

And I'll probably pick up an EQD Arpanoid soon because I have an 8-bit project that could use it.

And I got a new black denim jacket to make into a BR00TAL vest for MDF and Gilead Fest. So. That's all my new stuff.

The Box of Metal arrived in the mail yesterday; bought it brand-new off eBay. Today, I picked up the Tech 21 OD from a dude on Craigslist for $80. So far, I'm really happy with both purchases. Had some really cool tones going tonight.

I've never owned any zvex pedals. Glad you're diggin it. Should prolly get a super hard on. Heard the dude say once about the name "they're super hard on you amp"

Got the Strymon El Capistan in the mail the other day. A+. I don't have the means to make a recording properly right now so this is a fair representation.

RAGER · January 19, 2014, 09:53:15 PM

Hall of Fame found it's way onto my board today by way of CL. $90 NIB. Who else has cat hair on their board?

Lumpy · January 21, 2014, 12:26:22 PM

Been in heavy GAS mode for a few weeks, I think it's winding down. I still daydream about the perfect delay that is loaded with features, inexpensive and tiny. But that delay doesn't exist, and I'm fine with the delays I have. There's a lot of cool delays out now, but I don't want to spend that kind of money.

RAGER · January 21, 2014, 02:28:07 PM

I also just Flashback on Sunday. That delay seems to do as many things as the El Capistan but I only paid $123 on amazon instead of $300 for the El Cap. Some of these TC pedals have Tone Print. Both pedals I bought have this. You can download onto the pedal via an usb port (yes the pedal has a usb port) specific settings from renowned players. Not why I bought them and I probably won't really use that function.

Hall of Fame and Flashback def. look good, I just was overwhelmed with so many choices (and wanted to go as cheap as reasonably possible). i got a Verbzilla and decided not to spend money on another delay (I have a DL4 it's just huge and heavy, but I can use it). Maybe I will sell the DL4 at some point and go smaller.

dogfood · January 22, 2014, 06:07:00 PM

I had a DL4 and wasn't especially in love with the sound. I, like Sunno))), left it on tube echo setting as that was the best, to my ears, had it to offer. I figured I'd just go ahead and dole out the cash for something I would'nt want to upgrade later since I kind of regretted the DL4. And, the dude selling the Malekko 616 never responded to me. Not even a sold email.

VOLVO))) · January 22, 2014, 06:49:26 PM

My dl4 was keeley'd and I still couldn't get into it. Those huge multi setting pedals bum me out. Too many features, not enough controls.

jibberish · January 22, 2014, 08:51:58 PM

it sounds like el capistan is a slightly different featured delay than the standard setup. my impression is that it is a tape echo box emulator. even having tape fuck up effects like crinkle and wow and flutter. very slick, very subtle.

I could see having a psychoblaster delay like a malekko or memory lane and that el cap.

el capitan for some serious vintage constructions, like ballady surf music or something vintage psych sounding.

dogfood · January 22, 2014, 11:07:21 PM

Wata=Roland RE150.

jibberish · January 23, 2014, 01:01:06 AM

rager, were you saying you didn't want your malekko anymore?...I saw it on your board there and that reminded me...

RAGER · January 23, 2014, 10:03:51 AM

Nope. Never said that sorry. Love that pedal.

Volume · January 23, 2014, 11:06:45 AM

Gotta say, it's an awesome pedal.

The Riffer · January 30, 2014, 10:05:57 AM

look at dat!!!!
Thank you!

Volume · January 30, 2014, 01:20:13 PM

No, thank YOU for talking me into getting the Coven. I really dig the BF side.

Jake · January 30, 2014, 02:56:22 PM

BF = Butt Fuck?

(Please say yes.)

The Riffer · January 30, 2014, 03:50:18 PM

Sorry.
boobie fondler.

Bun fluffer

Andrew Blakk · February 01, 2014, 10:44:06 AM

Found an old fuzz by Reaper pedals. Supposed to be a DAM Meathead clone.

Instant Dan · February 01, 2014, 11:50:54 AM

I wonder how many of those blues loy-yers feel about the DAM Meathead now compared to when it first came out.

liquidsmoke · February 07, 2014, 12:12:56 AM

Peavey Rock Master tube preamp from Music Go Round. Came UPS 2 days after I ordered it. Into the SS power amp of my little bass head it's very tight sounding loud and it has just enough of a tube vibe. Sounds really good and very similar to my Amptweaker TightMetal pedal. I partly bought it for the clean channel which I will need to get a specific switch to use but with it's own 'ultra gain' distortion up all the way I think it has just enough dirt. Will use next practice. Ordering a switch tonight. Kind of sounds like a Mesa Studio but at half the cost.
