I got this a while ago but never took a picture. Got a Ciat Lonbarde Cocoquantus2 (bottom).  The Plumbutter2 works well with him.

Are those seriously 4 digit priced pedals?

My face is a psycho-geographical map of the cities of Baltimore and Cleveland. I am a drum-machine, but let me tell you I am more than that, for I also am a “drama machine”. Thus there exists in me, a dialectic between drum and drama, like cops and gangsters, male versus female, or rural versus urban. You can see my wild spaces are represented by a deer-horn, and my downtown by a factory, and in between, a vast swath of suburban developments. It is a gradient of these three areas- urban, suburban, and rural- that informs my electronic synthesis. Oh... kay... then... Edit: Upon further research, these things are actually pretty neat and make some nice sounds. The guy who makes them seems equal parts passionate and eccentric, which is always a good thing when it comes to music. Bass Ackwards fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jun 14, 2017 |

Picked it up this morning. Worth every cent... This thing is pretty much everything I want in an amp right now, and I've already been told to turn it down. Now to replace that lovely badge and the power LED with a jewelled pilot light - The only two things that let this down cosmetically.  (click for really big)

Those Champions are solid state, right? I might have missed the conversation. How does it compare to the tube siblings? I keep erring off and on about whether I would want to eventually get a Fender style amp for the sake of tonal variety. Anyway, does it do the Fender cranked to hell breakup sound? I'd love any comparison clips you might have. On that note, someone should start a rig rundown thread. I'd love to see what complete rigs people have, but more than that I'd love some clips of people's gear, guitar or not. Some of you guys have some weird or unusual rigs and I'd love to hear how they actually sound. Words are good but at the end of the day I can't read a sound

I'd love any comparison clips you might have. They are. 100W, 2x12 speakers. I haven't got a lot of experience with Fender tube amps as a reference point, but I played two of my guitars through this, and through a $2500 '65 Twin Reverb reissue, and they sounded drat near identical to my ears. As for modelling tube breakup, I'm not sure - I play a lot of Mark Knopfler (hence the Fiesta Red '61 Strat replica in my last post) so I mostly use clean sounds. I will say though, this thing goes *very* hard, and has a lot of gain on the second channel if you want to use it. Have a look on YouTube for sound clips, there are quite a few that go through all the voices.

Got some new poo poo. First up, a 2006 ES-175. I just got my PM-100 like 2 weeks ago but this was such a good deal and I knew that it was a killer player due to the reputation of the previous owner that I couldn't pass. It is hard to get this finish right in a photo - it is a very deep red with some very nicely and subtly flamed maple under it.   Here is a family photo (not the whole family but the ones relevant to the 175).  A 2000 PM100 (which is based on Pat Metheny's Es-175), Red (the new one is called Red now), behind that the '70 L5 to keep her company and to the right a '77 D'Agostino 175 lawsuit guitar. Which brings me to my next thing - the small guitar on the right.  It's a Cordova Mini for my daughter. She really wants a guitar and this will be my Father's Day present because getting her wanting to play guitar will be the ultimate present for me. It is an oddball / it has a full size but width but a half size scale. The strings are shot and I will change them but it plays and sounds really good for the size. It has a solid spruce top which helps I'm sure. And a very comfy neck - it is a good travel guitar. And last,  So I can do all the loops. I am pretty happy and probably shouldn't buy anything ever now but this is what getting separated does - no checks and balances so all the money goes into music poo poo.

 I'm going to use it as an amp stand so it counts as new music gear purchase even though I got it for free. It's a vintage Tektronix oscilloscope stand and it rules.

Picked this up for a song locally. Traynor YCV40 modded with Celestion G12H-100 speaker. Sounds awesome but man, the noise from my Tele is killing me (been spoiled with built in noise gate in my current amp) so going to look into a noise gate to keep it in check.

peter gabriel posted:Well I think I have found my amp, it literally does not matter what the knobs are on, it sounds loving glorious. Rehearsal this week then a small gig on Fri to test it properly but so far, oh man it's perfect. So, I've been bitching and moaning and posting audio clips of my amp mod project and not being happy with the recordings, etc. The main issue was the lack of reference monitors so I can get an accurate EQ/mix so that you will hear what I hear when recording. Well, I've finally placed an order to solve this problem. After looking at consumer-grade monitors (something I can afford) I finally picked out monitors that I think will help me with my recordings: A pair of Mackie CR5BT Powered Studio Monitors. They have pretty good reviews and I have a long-standing trust of Mackie (though it may not be deserved today, I don't know) and I should have them Wednesday. So: No recording this weekend. I look forward to working my recording process with something at least approaching reference-level monitors. I think that will remove a lot of uncertainty about my recording workflow and results. Fingers crossed. This has been a long time coming and I fear I should have really saved up for a much more expensive set of monitors, like the Yamahas that I see everywhere. I'm not that patient, though; and I think it's pretty clear I'm kinda impulsive. I think they look somewhat ridiculous with the green accents, but feature/spec-wise they seem to be a decent investment. Here's a stock picture to hold over until I take delivery:  I'm just going to assume they work with my Xbox-One or Xbox controllers somehow. Microsoft XBox-Tone.

My wife and mother surprised me with a gift that's supposed to cover the next half decade of birthdays and Father's Days. 1967-1969 Hagstrom H8 bass.  One of 2200 produced. It's only strung as a 4 currently. Was owned by a local music store owner before he died.

Bought a cheap Mexican Fender LH Strat in Lake Placid Blue: (stock photo) Should get here Wed/Thurs. Will be doing some mods to it, shortly thereafter: pop in a Duncan JB (black open coil) in bridge position replace wiring and pots switch stock knobs for Tele style chrome knobs replace pickguard with HSS routed pickguard (white pearloid) from Warmoth GOOD TIMES

I needed an inexpensive reverb pedal so I got:  One of the only reverb pedals that has the "drip", the plunky sound at the end of the notes that springs give. Because my new amp doesn't have reverb:  Marshall tube crunch, in an apartment appropriate size.

I bought a couple of used Digitech pedals (The Digichorus and Digiverb) for cheap recently, but I'm not really a fan. They're not true bypass so my guitar tone is noticably different even when they're off. On the other hand, I bought a Joyo Analog Delay, which is really an analog-voiced digital pedal (kind of replicating an MXR Carbon Copy from what I understand) and it sounds fantastic.

I still have an og DOD Deathmetal that I'll hook up occasionally for shits and giggles. I have to be pretty committed when plugging it in since of course the footswitch is broken and it's incapable of being turned off.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:How much noise are we talking about? I haven't met a properly installed, properly-wound single coil that bothered me that much even with high gain pedals. It's an American Standard tele so I'd like to imagine the pickups are done right. It's a fair amount of noise that can magically disappear if you stand in the exact right spot facing a certain direction, so it's crap the pickups are, well, picking up. Rolling off the volume reduces it significantly. Seems like a fairly clear cut case for a noise gate.

Even though they aren't true bypass or as cool as handpainted made in the USA boutique pedals, I still like Boss. This one is to replace an original orange DS-1 I lost years ago.
