Those Eu Claire Thunders seem awesome, with the More Mids switch (TONEBLAST) and Feedback switch. If I was needing another great bass fuzz I would consider that one.

awwwwww. you guys and your pedals. they are all so awesome. how do y'all dig these gems up?
(I watched the demos, fuckin a)

hey, after I get a few more maybe we could swap a pedal for a week to demo it before purchasing one or to write it off.
what I get will have to help my synths out too.

I still want to get my delay pedal(s) first, but goddamn, it sure wouldn't be hard to get derailed.

Sounds like a plan.

Custom made, or do you have a link/address, Pissy?

yeah sort of. The girl that rents my old house works there and sets up a spot in the local Sunday hipster flea market at one of the venues here. Normally they have plastic buckles, and I wanted the metal ones. I also got the tabs to be super thick leather so they didn't wallow out as easily.

So I guess it was custom made by this place.

Thanks!

(after perusing that link, I see what you mean about the hipster deal. banjo straps predominantly featured. surprised there weren't any ukulele straps..)

I needed a new short cable for recording purposes (I'm a bedroom warrior). And I picked up these two new (at least new for me) Dunlop Tortex picks. Must try them, I'm very curious about them, especially about the fact that they are more pointy than regular Dunlop picks.

jibberish · September 29, 2014, 04:00:32 PM

i'm a Guitar Center stu. I use super slinky's and .96 tortex or more preferably, .96gator grips. how boring heh. but whatever that plastic is, it is easier to hang onto.

I like those gator grips when they wear down into almost a billy gibbons peso and any side is the same as any other side. my son always laughs about my precious "broken in" picks because I have a couple sealed bags of new ones as backup. little fucking purple picks are everywhere around here.

speaking of GC, they sent me some 15% off anything $300 or over coupon. that is a nice discount on something like a synth that is priced tight with everyone else. not so much on some dartboard price $5grand custom shop guitar. maybe mini brute SE. maybe big ole fender 65 reverb combo, maybe a really awesome pedal,

OR maybe a taylor 314ce.....

VOLVO))) · September 29, 2014, 04:01:41 PM

Yeah... Im looking into a nice acoustic myself.

RAGER · September 29, 2014, 05:08:48 PM

I might have a lot of crap but one thing I lack is a good acoustic. Might play more damn guitar if I had one sittin on a stand upstairs.

VOLVO))) · September 29, 2014, 05:16:08 PM

Yeah... Get me one, too

RacerX · September 29, 2014, 05:19:47 PM

Geez, everybody needs at least one acoustic—get hoppin', gentlemen!

jibberish · September 29, 2014, 05:38:04 PM

Jake · September 30, 2014, 06:16:06 PM

This showed up on Friday. I suppose I'll have to keep it company.

I've got 5 I think. Just that none of them are any good.

The Shocker · September 30, 2014, 07:03:58 PM

Holy fuck, Jake. Beauty.

No excuses—bring all five to the local Music-Go-Round or pawn shop & trade up!

Boss FZ-2, sounds almost exactly like the Behr clone which is what I was expecting.

Where did you find this?

Corey Y · October 01, 2014, 09:26:26 AM

Nice score on the Ovation Jake.

Jake · October 01, 2014, 10:17:43 AM

I was being coy with the details. A friend of mine was selling it and my ol' lady picked it up as a small "savings bond" type investment. She doesn't play, so I will have to be in charge of making sure it still makes noise while her investment "matures."

everdrone · October 01, 2014, 02:24:26 PM

cool score! Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age digs those.

I'd like some visitation rights.
