Can I just take a moment to say the big muff is my least favorite out of the box pedal but with a ts9/od in front it's basically my favorite sound? I'm thinking of getting a line selector just so I can go from pure clean to both pedals on with a single button press because drat. postin bout my muff

those reviews are precious "The HB Cable Design PowerSlave Marble Power Distributor affects an immediate Rx by putting in place the most solid foundation I've encountered. It begins by firming up the loose bass—actually, everything from 20–20kHz benefits from firming. The low frequencies became weighty, massive, and taut, and don't spread upwards into the lower midrange. Tone drops and becomes a bit darker, notes became dense and concentrated, what Lynn likes to call centered. A lot of the vague atmospheric effects some listeners call air were washed away. Yet, they are fully developed; timbres are quite fully realized. The firming particularly benefits articulation. Now I can pick out each woodwind and follow their lines; now I can "see" each instrument on the soundstage. Note that the Marble also imparts huge dollops of flesh and keeps images at full size. It firms without shrinking or getting lean—that's nice! What I'm saying is the Marble heightens definition and articulation while maintaining the beauty of the sound. There is no loss—only gain with this power distributor." dude i think that's the acid you dropped, not the power strip...

That is a very nice power strip (with no filtering) and I would be willing to pay as much as $100 for it, although I'm not sure what the shipping would be on a 40 lb. block of marble. I think plugging my computer into it would make the ones and zeroes more precise, not sloppy approximate values like they are now. Drives me crazy.

Who the gently caress is Joe Bonamassa? The only place I have ever seen him mentioned is the Guitar Center website.

He would be a lot better if he didn't sing. He has the worst case of "White dude trying to sound like an old black blues guy" voice I have ever heard. Decent enough guitarist, if you are into that kind of "blues".

The whole Bonamassa thing kind of sucks for the dude. I had no idea who he was until a while back he tried to buy an amp I had rented to a studio, he was cool as hell and we talked gear bullshit for hours and he was cool even after I repeatedly said 'no it's not for sale, sorry' and he never attempted to namedrop or anything, none of that 'do you know who I am' bullshit, he was just a cool, average guy who loves guitars and poo poo and he REALLY enjoys geeking out over the minutae, pedals, effects and the little goofy poo poo. When he's just being 'him', dude plays some wicked poo poo, especially when he's got his bari out, but the people paying $30 for those bobble head dolls and $100 for a seat to his show, they want to hear SRV, over and over. With 100% honesty, if I could pull that schtick off to the level he and John Mayer and some of those guys do, I'd ride that train until it derailed. But yeah, I can't stand his 'stage persona' at all, and I'm so dead loving tired of hearing SRV. Then again, I keep seeing shots of his gear collection and I don't feel so sorry for him after all.

That reminds me of this kid Quinn Sullivan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQJGIdCy5Rc He opened for Buddy Guy last time I saw him. Something just feels weird hearing a 12 year old sing songs about heartbreak and the blues. The blues is so weird. Like 10 years from now all the original dudes are gonna be dead, and all that will be left is poser white dudes.

NinjaEdit: Muike nailed it. If you heard the guys playing before you met him, you'd probably expect him to be some weird, goony bluesdad, but dude's actually pretty cool and doesn't go on and on about the standard TGP poo poo you'd expect. I was really surprised when I DID hear his album stuff after meeting him, totally expected his music to have gone a different way.

The best thing is when the old blues fucks go on and on about how shredding is soulless and the whole 'one note tonez and soul and feel one note ONE NOTE'. After my gig this past Saturday night went somewhat South, had the bar owner join in and ask if we could play a blues shuffle for him to play along to with his harmonica, no problem, then a buddy of his joined in and it was a nonstop 5 minute long wankfest between the two of them. They nodded over to me at one point and the only thing I could think to do was see how weird I could get feedback, my wah and my ring mod to sound over that goofy C shuffle, *hits note points guitar towards speaker cab and presses pedal butans while looking somber*. It wasn't ALL bad, at one point the waitresses started sending up full glasses of vodka instead of single shots and when I asked what was up the owner said 'it's my last night, we're closing, gotta drink all this poo poo up before 2am' and once word spread, it went from a regular show to full-on how crazy can the night get.

That'd go right handy in the 'I'm afraid to play my new Les Paul' thread over on TGP. Seriously, if you guys haven't already, go over there, make an account and look around. It's loving HILARIOUS. Off the top of my head: 'I just bought a new R9 (1959 Reissue Les Paul) and I'm afraid to play it because I don't want to wear it out' 'I just bought a brand new PRS and when I was changing strings I put a ding in the finish so I'm shipping it back to PRS to have it refinished' 'When playing blues when does it become self indulgent?' Oh, and ANYTHING posted by this guy GearAndGuitars is solid gold if it's posted in any thread even remotely related to piracy. Youtube (even and especially the channels hosted by artists and/or their labels), Spotify, Pandora, Apple iRadio, yes everyone who avails themselves of those perfectly legal resources are pirates and are scum who deserve to be jailed. The best, recently was when he called some guy a horrible parent who has horrible children because in some random thread the guy mentioned hearing his daughter watching someone on YouTube and asking her who she was listening to. Guitar Cables: are the really expensive ones worth it? is pretty much all my brain can take. From 'breaking instrument cables in properly' to 'directional cables' to the guy who is adamant that ANYONE can hear the difference between their poo poo and his $1k/foot instrument cable but who spazzed out when someone suggested doing a blind test, that's probably my favorite in recent days.
