Shout out to Templo Devices for the lovely packaging with this Pocket Comp! Happy to support a small Canadian company and excited to see how this little unit helps integrate vocals into my setup
So I could get a Muffuletta 6-in-1 #Muff#fuzz#pedal for $200 r/t $250 while they're on sale.
Triangle, Pi, Ram's Head, Russian, Ciivil War. I read that the mids vary. #GAS#guitar#effectPedal#GearSquad
JHS pedals 20% off Memorial Day Monday. #GearSquad
They have nice things and interesting things, like a pedal with every Rat, another with every Tube Screamer, and another with six Muff circuit, or so I hear.
They have recreations of vintage fuzz pedals.
They have $99 pedals that are going to be $79.
Hmm... Muffaletta. #GAS
Ayyyy #GearSquad let’s talk about amplifier speakers today. What’s the best speaker you’ve heard or used? Size? What amp was it paired with? Tell us why it changed your sonic life. #guitar#bass#synth
Ok I have to ask: what’s the deal with Orange amps? I see them frequently online in guitar and gear Facebook groups and other forums. People seem to love them. I’ve never tried one though so I’m just curious. #guitar#gearsquad
Today I finally got my hands on a Big Muff pedal so that I can ape the Siamese Dream sound. Hopefully it can make up for the pain of the past few days. I now have a Super Fuzz and a Big Muff pedal so I feel I have fulfilled a teenage dream that began with #Mudhoney Now to make some noise! #gearsquad#guitar#SmashingPumpkins#GuitarPedals
Quick introduction now that I've moved to Mastodon Music.
Swiss-based musician - bass, guitar, key, vocals of varying competencies. Played in Sydney in the 80s, Brisbane in the 90s, Myspace in the 00s + a rogue folk-acoustic set somewhere in there, nothing at all in the 10s!, and now active again. Several solo, collaborative and band activities locally and in Australia.
Also trying to recover all my old friends after the unexpected move, so boosts appreciated.
When I'm not writing, playing or recording music, I like to pretend I'm a luthier. This was a recent kit build (not really a luthier) of a Thoman Jazzmaster guitar. Plays and sounds better than I ever expected.
Hey #guitarist s, has anyone had any dealings with Fulltone lately?
Yes, I'm aware that the founder has some odious political leanings, but the reason I ask is because I'm trying to sell this OCD pedal which lacks 2 of 4 thumbscrews. Last Friday I saw that they sell em on the Fulltone site, so I ordered a set. I got an automated "thank you, we'll let you know when we ship", and then...
nothing.
In my tea business, I never let 48 hours go by w/o shipping, so...idk. Ghost site?
If anyone is curious about how I made my latest EP entirely on the Novation Circuit Rhythm, here's a deep dive on that unit and some of the my favourite features (along with a few gripes)
Godsdamn it, Pittsburgh Modular, if you could stop making badass synths that I feel like I can't live without for a while, that'd be great!
(This is in reference to the new Voltage Lab 2, as well as last year's Taiga, to a lesser degree.)
Especially since they're not cheap 😅
(No shade intended, I KNOW they're actually very cheap for what all they can do, but the raw cost is eye-watering to a indie artist who doesn't make $10's of thousands a year from music making.)
Well, my attempt to switch to being a lefty guitar player isn’t going to work. I just can’t get my fingers to work the right way on the fretboard without them getting in the way of each other. And forget about strumming or picking, that’s a total disaster. So I’m just going to have to keep taking the anti inflammatories and limbering my fingers up as best I can before playing. #guitar#gearsquad
Chord chart for new track ‘1986’.
Inspired by the All In setting on my UA 1176 compressor, this riff has full chord strumming that needs a thinner pick. This might be the track that requires me to mic the Half Pint. As good as my other amp is into my audio interface, the Half Pint sounds better, even recorded on my iPhone. #guitar#gearsquad
So thankfully the strange 3-way pickup selector switch anomaly on the Danelectro 59M is covered under warranty. Taking it in this week to be shipped to the service department in Vancouver for a new switch. #guitars#gearsquad#repair
Pedal idea: Trouble Boost, featuring intermittent signal failure, loss of frequency response and volume, enhanced capacitance, impedance mismatching, randomly shifting bandpass filters, and no user manipulable controls. #gearsquad
It’s full. I mean, totally. But I need One More Pedal - a TC Electronics Ditto+ mini looper. I really don’t want to buy an even bigger board. I want to find some kind of “add-on” solution where I could clip or bolt on a small extension. I don’t mind drilling holes, but I probably wouldn’t be able to make something out of wood or metal. Needs to be stury enough to be stomped on. Any ideas?
Long shot but my DIY analogue chorus pedal (clone of the Julia) makes clicking sounds in time with the chorus rate. I am pretty sure it originates in the TL072 op-amp used for oscillation. What I can’t work out is how to stop it. Others have built the same kit and not had the same issue. Power is clean (battery), have tried a different chip. Going slightly mad with it.
