I think I posted on here a few weeks back inquiring about a flanger with a volume knob. This Boss is a solution to the problem of effects that are too loud or too quiet when switched on. An EQ in the loop could provide even more perfection. Old hat to many of you of course.

Anyone aware of any inexpensive flanger pedals that one can in one way or another adjust the volume on? I'm done buying pedals without some type of level/mix/volume knob.

Maybe you can get a blend pedal and keep the pedals you have?

Wouldn't a Boss LS-2 do that? A+B Loop, one loop effected, one loop clean, with the levels mixed to taste?
Rock & Roll is background music for teenagers to fuck to.

Hey, Einstein! Your brain's delay pedal is set to 26 days, and it's ON.

Ever use a delay at the end of a song and then forget to turn it off before the next one starts? That's super fun live.

I've left my loop station on when I shouldn't have.

Was well into the next part and was like "What's that weird noise? Oh."


Played Grizzly Hall last night with Thunderosa. The backline rig was 2 Marshall 4x12s.

God I miss using a full stack.

I was playing around last night trying to see if I could pull off a sort of one-man-band kinda thing. Playing one-handed bass or guitar while playing drums. It worked surprisingly well. I'm not sure that is something I want to pursue, but it sure was fun.

Sweet.

The EV-B sounded great in the Fender Showman combo.

Sounded even better after the lady who flipped us off for being too loud left and we actually turned up to normal volume.

Added a Creepy Fingers Harikiri Fuzz into the mix. Sounded bad ass. Now need a bigger pedal board to accommodate. Was nice having an extra gain stage.

Being single on the road kind of sucks when you don't want to be single.

My new band Stonechaser just jamed with a friend that plays Harmonica and we all clicked really well together....I think we are just about ready for our first gig.

We are doing 60's/90's Grunge-Psych Fusion.  Our vision is:  If  90's Grunge band traveled back into the 60's in a Time Machine.

Fuck it all, life as we know it has boiled down to monetary transactions... That nagging thing that insatiable appetite, we are all fiends and our drug is the green glow of green backs. Without we are nothing. With it, anything is at our fingertips...

Running out of pot, the one green thing not full of evil. Everywhere you go there is a price, there is not freedom left, no space that doesen't have a human looking back at you. The point of the whole human race is gone. Nothing left to explore worth going to. no wilderness to hide. Hell NO FUCKING WOODS at all!!! Google earth is scary when you get past the green and see its just someone elses lawn! Ban THEM!! the end of global warming, if we just didn't cut our grass and let old growth take over we wouldn't have to worry too hard about climate change...

and WOMEN don't even get me started on this subject, I will make enemies of them all. Never in my life have I seen a group so obsessed with being right. Can't talk to anyone anymore

DDOon't know why.. Just not fast enough, the curiosity soon fades to a bored tedium. The eyes glaze over when it's known they might have to listen or even use that brain we have... Life is now a digital collection of photos and  detailed bad taste.  Is it not odvious we are being segregated to the lifestyle imposed by marketing? You will fall in line to a type, do as that type does, do not stray from the type and you will have a life, Your a rocker, you will buy what they do, you won't even see what they don't. Not with our new algoriddims. Its like reggea Mixed with algebra!! BRO its the new YOGA for your MIND!
4321 have a blast!

I know. Feel like I'm letting you guys down.

Lemmy would have scolded me, or made fun of me at least.

Basically was playing some private party thing in Ft Worth for a company somehow affiliated with apartments or some shit.

Anyway, free booze. Lots of people, huge place. Staying the night. Had already messaged an area lady friend about meeting up afterwards, still haven't heard from her.

Lots of women there. Lots.

And as I'm walking around checking out the scene, quickly realized that I wasn't particularly interested in any of them, and they didn't seem particularly interested in me either, which I was fine with.

If it was hundreds of cool rocker women instead, different story entirely.

Experimenting with adding a delay pedal to my Ocean of Stars rig.

Instead of adding to my main board, put it on auxiliary board and only coming through second amp.

Holy David Gilmour, Batman!

Looking for ways to keep noise/sound/loops going between songs so the transitions between them are seamless and the music never stops.

It's not really a "chat with the crowd" project either, and I never know what to say anyway haha. Problem solved

Silence in between songs can be a good palate-cleanser (but also leaves room for hecklers).

True dat, and true dat.

Guess will see what sounds good and feels best when we finally get around to rehearsing again :)

A chaos pad might be the ticket danny. I think they'll loop or at least decay a long ways out.

Man the Harakiri does some weird shit in reaction to a wah pedal.

Gets crazy feedback rocked all the way back, sounds like a ring modulator rocked all the way forward. Cool :)
