im permabanned poster pedalstomper58. i first started playing shoe gaze when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "big muffs" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "reverse reverb" and "i love riffing inside offset assholes" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "fuzzy" style of shoegaze music was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" shoegaze to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

It occurred to me the other day that since two tone knobs is two more than anybody should ever need, it would be incredibly funny to wire up a Strat with three volume knobs.

Ironically throwing one on each pickup and getting rid of the selector switch would give you way more tonal variation than any tone knob possibly could.

Does anyone know what this weird youtube-drama around Rob Chapman is about? There's several 30-45 min. videos about it around, but I'm only mildly interested so I'm not sifting through all that. :)

As far as I can make out a literal child made a take-down video of Chapman full of insights such as "Chapman doesn't have a degree from the university he represents" and "Chapman put his guitars in Guitar centre to sell more of them" which can be basically summed up as "adults in the real world make compromises".

But because it's 2020 and everything is dumb as poo poo, including Chapman, instead of going "lmao" and diving headfirst into a Scrooge McDuck style pool of free gear and actual cash, he made a response video roughly the same length as two lord of the rings movies where he came across as the smarmiest, most arrogant, self righteous, own-fart-huffing douchebags to ever walk the planet and entirely destroyed his own career.

You know, just basic internet stuff at this point.

Instead of spending your time watching gear reviews, reading forums about gear, and reading guitar magazines, which are all designed to inspire the idea that the right gear matters, and then make money advertising that gear, invest that time in learning what to look for in an instrument and how to set one up properly. The only difference between a Squier and a fender is the chance of buying a dud, which decreases annually with improvements in manufacturing techniques. If you know how to tell a dud, and invest a little more time in trying guitars in shops, you will literally save yourself thousands of dollars.

Same principle with learning to solder and building your own pedals. This is an insanely low barrier to accessing a huge variety of sounds for low money, and you can even dabble in gear lust, because if you wait a couple of months you can just buy the PCB, or a kit (more expensive than parting yourself but less time/ loving about) of whatever was the flavour of the week. No one should ever need to buy a fuzz face based pedal lmao.

Do you guys have any good recommendations on pedal building kits? Doesn't really matter if it's actually a good circuit, just like a TS clone or some fuzz pedal could work. Comedy option would be like a HM2. Basically just something with all the components, a PCB, and an unpainted enclosure with holes. I want to teach someone how to solder/do fine detail work so I thought it would be a fun exercise to make one

If Behr rehoused the SF300 in a sturdy metal casing they would destroy the fuzz market. They're a bugger to rehouse or there would be a cottage industry doing it already.

Best thing I ever did was rehouse 2 of them in a single enclosure, one in fuzz position 1 and the other in 2 with an order switcher in between. It's good being able to ruin someone's day in two completely different ways with a little tap of the foot.

Got any more details or pictures of it? Planning to do something similar with the SF300 and HM300

Will grab a pic when I'm at the studio on the weekend.

It's not worth trying to replace the jacks/power/defeat the buffer on the circuit board itself (just won't stand up to that much desoldering) so it's basically set up as two true bypass loopers with an sf300 in each, all in one case. Needed to shove some spare jacks in the inputs to defeat the boss style on/off by input setup and needed a little external switch to short the soft switch (basically do this on power up and it's good to go as long as power is uninterrupted).

It's not elegant, pretty, or clever but it works.

I got stuff calibrated to within a dB spl from 4k to 52k. Then the program crashed when i went to add more frequencies to the test schedule. So i gave up and emailed support then went home because I wanted to work on it more on monday.

Calibration is very much like recording guitar in that you can try to set things up exactly the same as you did last time and things will sound completely different for no reason.

I can only assume that you double checked the directionality if all your cables and made sure the correct number of ferrite beads were on each power supply?

Ok so I've never released an original song into the wild so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. But this guy is a professional YouTube guitar player, a self proclaimed expert on guitar gear and tone.

That song has like the least inspiring, most generic "rock" guitar tracking I've ever heard. Also, why are the guy's vocals like 8 times louder than everything else in the mix? Was the song mixed by the same people who make karaoke music?

It bums me out that DIY pedal kits are always equal to/more expensive than an average clone pedal. I'd like to gently caress around with one, but IMO it's pointless to take on the risks associated with assembling a pedal without an attendant drop in price.

It's cheaper than buying a reasonable version of a pedal (there are a few components that actually make a difference that will generally be better in a kit) and a Lego set / model airplane / whatever else keeps your hands busy while you listen to podcasts.
