I was just randomly browsing around looking up a bass question, when I saw a link to this article. http://www.harmonycentral.com/articles/a-meditation-on-aesthetics-and-mojo-in-electronics quote:A great looking pedal says just as much about the artist as it does the builder. For the artist, a unique pedal shows non-conformity, a taste for the custom, the obscure, the finer things in life. quote:Why make it look good? You look at it all the time, and if you perform I'm sure you have noticed the folks that come up to the stage, not to ogle you and your sick licks, but to check out your board. Give them some eye candy. Seriously it is a goldmine. I am sure audiences are spending tons of time admiring the things you are stomping on.

The second point is fair, really. Why not make it look cool? Not for anyone else, but just make things look awesome for you, because you're looking at the things all the time.

I guess I was off base then, it just feels like a stretch to me that anyone worth caring about, would care about pedals outside of the person who stares at them every-time they play. vOv

The guy a couple of weeks ago who kept following me around (dragging his girlfriend behind him) insisting that I couldn't have a pedalboard with no audio signal running through it especially since I had 4 wah pedals on it and then decided that I was actually using it to trigger backing tracks (we don't use tracks) and that I was basically playing air guitar.

Dewgy posted:how exactly did they miss the dead center of the guitar??? basically that yeah Also I've occasionally wondered what pedals people are using, sure, but the only time I've stared at them was once when I saw Money Mark, and he was trying to get his, like, three or four pedals working (literally just some pedals pulled out of a duffel bag and strewn across the floor near the mic) and one of them wasn't getting power, so it was loving the whole chain. Eventually I think he just yanked them and played straight into the amp from there. Yeah, I was expecting him to play keys, too. hexwren fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Apr 17, 2015 |

Hey guys? Romeo Rose is selling his Juliet because he only plays B.C. Rich now. $3000 for a guitar that has never been played by a real guitarist. http://austin.craigslist.org/msg/4984855472.html

The idea itself is good, though. People seem terrified to solder so anything that helps them get around that should sell well.

^^ I disagree. Some guys actually acknowledge their influences and are genuinely humble about their talent. ^^ZombieParts posted:EVH interviews were always awkward reads Amen. He always came off as so goddamn arrogant. Not even from the old days: "Yeah was have this song, it's called Pleasure Dome. It's about Kubla Khan's Xanadu. What do you mean the main riff is exactly the same as an old Rush song called Xanadu? Nah, it was totally our idea! Never heard of it, man. Please." "What do you mean you could sing 'Every Breath You Take' over 'I Can't Stop Loving You' and it sounds perfect? That's ridiculous." "Best of Both Worlds? Celebrate? What? Who's AC/DC? Never heard of fuckin' any of 'em. They been around or somethin'?" That moment when you realize your idol is a total douche who can't give any credit to anyone, ever; because his ego simply must deny any semblance of reality...

Yeah but he wrote "Hot For Teacher" so who gives a gently caress, it's the only song from their catalog that matters.

And I hope there's a day where proggy, technical metal can do something with vocals other than either Cookie Monster, or Bruce Dickinson.
