Kilometers Davis posted:Of course yeah but what's the fun in only listening to music released in 2017. I still find new things in old records every time I play them regardless of how familiar I am with the content. Hearing the roots of the music I make today is always going to be cool. I don't mean old music, I mean music that is so imprinted in our culture that it's probably encoded into our DNA at this point. I never need to listen to Back in the USSR ever again. I discover crazy old music I've never heard before quite often.

This is the problem with radio - creating a cycle of hits -> listeners who enjoy the hits -> play more hits. There are so many songs by bands that are so well known that we almost never hear, just because they're B-sides or on unusual periods of the band's discography. That's not to say anything of the also-rans of the era (i.e. everyone has heard 'Kill Em' All', but few people have heard Sacred Reich's album which IMO is just as good!

SRV lore:quote:The band was already a hit on the Texas club circuit, but their 1982 gig at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland had brought them a new level of fame. David Bowie saw the show and invited Vaughan to play on his “Let’s Dance” album, and Mr. Browne offered free studio time to the group, which, at the time, was unsigned and unrecorded. That's it. They played it live, and the best takes were released as the debut album. In my heart, there is Texas Flood, and Couldn't Stand The Weather. Then there's Soul to Soul which is kind of a mess. They barely got it finished. By then only the keyboard player was still reasonably sober. Live Alive is, as mentioned before, a fully coked-out band with SRV doing overdubs to fix his mistakes in the mobile studio van overnight, between gigs, while drinking Crown Royal with cocaine in it; because he had no time for sleeping. That's why his speech during "Life Without You" is such an embarrassing ramble. Nothing recorded after really matters to me. Happy SRV wasn't the SRV I listened to when I was 14, when I decided I had to learn to do that. Whatever that was. I've mentioned before that I saw SRV at Dorton Arena in Raleigh, NC in like 1987, February I think; and he came out wearing a faded "Hugs Not Drugs" t-shirt and I swear I never saw him open his eyes. I was right up against the fence in front of the stage and was dead center, my friend and I had been there waiting to get in since school let out, so we were right up front. Tommy Shannon nodded at me!  Lonnie Mack opened that night. I was too young and naive to know how truly wasted Stevie was, and I couldn't tell by his performance. It was a great show.Now, In Step is a good studio album but it does not compare favorably to the first two studio albums. It's too polished and happy and 12-step-program-ish. The first two are the real, blood-n-guts SRV sound to me. Nothing after In Step really matters to me, and that one gets a pass because Stevie sounded so goddamn happy. I loved him. When he died I took it hard. Catching his Austin City Limits reruns was like watching the Challenger disaster again. I still have a hard time with it sometimes. I forget how truly awesome he was at what he did. I was 14 and Texas Flood and Couldn't Stand the Weather were the darkest, meanest, most powerful thing I'd ever heard (and I'd heard Hall and Oates, friends. AND REO Speedwagon.) P.S. - Sorry about the meltdown. I got a bit carried away thinking about those days. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Jun 16, 2017 |

I just finished building a Rat clone with clipping toggle for Led/Silicon/None. I leave it on LED because it sounds the best so I guess that makes it a Turbo Rat? Anyhow, here's some stupid music poo poo: I haven't hosed with a Rat in probably 20 years and hey guess what you guys it sounds amazing and is a brilliant circuit. WHO KNEW RIGHT?! Oh, everyone? Ok.

I bought an R2DU off of ebay a long time ago for next to nothing. It had been languishing since I moved and misplaced the foot switch. I recently found a schematic and built a new one. I forgot how muchI liked this stupid thing. If one rat is good two cascaded into each other is better, right? In the past I ran one at the start of the pedal chain and one at the end but that takes more cables when I can just use a short lead to jumper them together.

I also screwed around with their Big Muff analog and I had the damnedest time finding a setting between "off" and "gently caress EVERYTHING  "Bad modeling or is that how real Big Muffs are too?

I almost bought a rat today but guitar center had it priced at $100 which is like, loving nope. Not even a turbo, just your standard $60 black box. in retrospect it was probably just mislabeled.

Muffs are Muffs. It does that Muff thing and that's pretty much it- I had one for about a year and after the first 2 or 3 months I never touched it again before selling. It's by no means a bad sound, just not the tone for me. The Metal Muff, on the other hand, you can pry from my cold dead feet. I have never held onto a pedal as long as this (around 7 years) and can never see myself getting rid of it.

I was getting some nice Sabbath-y sounds out of it I liked, it just had no dynamics whatsoever. Even with input volume way down and the volume on my guitar almost all the way off it was still ALL THE GAIN until I turned the gain knob down to about 2, and then it was MOST OF THE GAIN. I don't think it's an Amplitube problem, their Rat knockoff reacted to dynamics just fine.

AmpliTube can be hit or miss on pedal models I found. The Muff model is okay-ish to me. Sometimes I get a great sound but most of the time it just sucks. That's not a Muff-only thing either as if I run a real Muff into AmpliTube it sounds a tonne clearer and more controllable. Conversely, as said, their Rat model sounds pretty gosh dang good. Their TS model is good too. I think their Muff model is the worst model they have honestly.

Even with input volume way down and the volume on my guitar almost all the way off it was still ALL THE GAIN Muffs aren't Fuzz Faces and don't clean up nicely, but modelled fuzz is notoriously inaccurate anyway. Something very difficult to capture in exactly how a fuzz reacts to input impedance. On muffs in general; I used an American BMPi for a long time and yeah they just do that one trick. A great trick, but not anything I'd want to use these days. Just got back from a ridiculous hot gig and loving how my rig sounds at the moment. Rickenbacker into an AC30 with a Rat for boost. Massive big Townshend power chord sound as standard, and I was getting all kinds of crazy feedback going with the Rat. I did an hour with the Rick going out of tune constantly from the heat and then switched out for my Tele for the final twenty minutes, which was almost as much fun. Total bag of nails sound. Bitcrushers are literally designed to sound kinda lovely though. Love them for mashing up synths. darkwasthenight fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Jun 18, 2017 |

their live videos are funny because it's them taking their thing really seriously and the rest of their band who aren't nearly as committed to the lifestyle and you can see the growing looks of regret and shame on their faces as they play
