scored me an MXR La Machine, (Foxx Tone Machine clone).

i shall further bore all with a low quality/backwards ass macbook video of such-



but it really does rock.
why does it hurt when i pee?

Nice! I really like the upper octave fuzzes (like the Zvex Octane 3 as played by Chovie D) and IMO that Hendrixy octave up lead tone is missing from today's modern stoner rock. I know nobody can solo like Hendrix did, but it seems like that is a relatively untapped area to explore. Guitar solos are kind of a dying art though, I guess.
Rock & Roll is background music for teenagers to fuck to.

Also, those B:assmasters are my favorite bass fuzz (CID Vicious). Tons of gravelly texture but you retain pretty much all of your individual note definition. No muddiness making notes blur together. You can actually play heavy bass runs and they don't sound like a mess.

Impulse eBay purchase yesterday... a '77 Greco. It's a Jeff Beck-inspired guitar with everything I personally want in a Lester — wraparound '54 tailpiece (my absolute fav bridge on a Gibson), oxblood finish, nickel pup covers, amber knobs w/ cream hardware, neck binding with fret nibs, and the fact that it's NOT a Gibson makes me like it even more. I can be a petty bastard and have a love/hate/HATE relationship with Gibson.

PS, the Gibson version is $17,000. Seriously.



poop.

thanks lumpy! i agree about the lack of octave fuzz in stoner rock... bringin it back. i also have a mjm china fuzz, (superfuzz clone), that scrambles well. maybe i'll put er' on the board.

AND GUITAR SOLOS WILL NEVER DIE!!!

would like to see/hear a link to Chovie D's Octane 3 joint if you can offer it my man.

also, i made a vid w/the China Fuzz i was talking up.
bored and had the night off of work so i put it together.
it's not a really pronounced octave fuzz, but sounds quite like a 'scrambler' or like an actual super fuzz.
you be the judge.
but when it hit the switch at 1:43... all hell breaks loose! fuzzapocalypyse!

I can't find the link to the clip I wanted to share - I dunno if it's been taken down or maybe it was private. "Don't Wake Me" was the name of the song, by Bobby Smiths (Chovie D)

Anyway, the Octane III is a heavy pedal.

Through a few trades I was able to score a V4



I really hated selling my first one so I'm pretty pumped about getting another one

Picked up this Darkglass B3K for a project I'm currently working on along with a little Gator mini-pedalboard and some patch cables today.

This thing sounds fucking insane.

New custom amp day...at last!

About fucking time. Did Nick forge the steel for the chassis from his own ore and coal, or what?  ;D ;D

He was pretty on top of building the amp, but the builder for the shell got delayed and fell through twice.
