The andvari7 Review: It's Yours

Sign in to disble this ad
I like to think that I have a different approach to reviewing effects. My reviews are the water, and a WHOLE lot more, and I have a backlog that is eating into my writing time.

With that, I have a request: would you please look into my public profile, and pick the pedal I should review next? There will be a queue, should a consensus not be reached.

That's one vote for the BMS. I should point out, though, that I did the FX-17.

The following pedals have met my keyboard, with titles afterword:

Fulltone Clyde Deluxe - "Who Names Their Kids 'Clyde' Anymore?"
Moog MF-108M ClusterFlux - "It's No Fun When They Beat You To The Punch."
Morley Power Wah Boost - "Duh Dah Duh Doo Duh Deh Duh WAAH"
EHX Stereo Polychorus - I refuse to name this one, for reasons I have mentioned elsewhere
DOD FX-17 - "In The Same Way As The Cowboys"
MXR Script Phase 90 w/LED - "Safe But Not Exactly Sane"
EHX Deluxe Electric Mistress - "Gambling With Effects (Literally)"
Danelectro Psycho Flange, but it was written very poorly, in my opinion - "Danelectro Psycho Flange"

You should review a ring modulator. Then I can picture it as part of Battlestar Galactica.

What's the most expensive effect on the market? Axe-FX? Yeah, that's what I want you to review.

I know it's not on the list, but I'd love to read a review of the Boss RE-20 Space Echo for bass.

The votes, after two days:

BMS - 1
Moog MF-102 - 1

Bear in mind that I cannot, and will not, review effects that I have not tried, but if I can't take this type of friendly ribbing, then I will have learned nothing about anger management lo these past five-and-a-half months. Thus, I would be useless to you all.

It also occurs to me that I have experience with a couple of pedals that I have never owned: the Chicago Iron Parachute, and the MXR BOD. I have posts about them.

In lieu of a GWAR concert this evening, which would have been at best disappointing, I need something to fill my time before I fall asleep from exhaustion. You have twenty minutes.

Moog MF-102

My vote counts twice because this time I'm drunk.

So, that makes three votes for the Moog. Even though I'm not up to a GWAR show, I suppose your post could inspire me to go to a liquor store for some beer.

Well, Flattus Maximus died the other day. That's all I have to say about GWAR for a while. The Scumdogs have greater problems right now, so best let them be. I have been mourning in my own fashion, which I will not detail here.

Anyway, I would like some more votes. I am preparing for my next big review, and I need some more feedback.

What about a review of one of your previous reviews?

I have already reviewed the Mistress. As for reviewing my other reviews, not enough time has passed where that would be a meaningful option.

The tally remains at three votes for the Moog MF-102. However, I am open to bypassing that result, but only for a Strymon Ola or an Effectrode Vibra-Chorus.

Tenderizing Mister Ed again, just to say that I have a review of the Catalinbread Formula No. 5 up and running, and have the 3XFX Fatman and Boss TU-3 in the works.

The Catalinbread review is called "Not Malfunction, Stephanie..."

Time for a status update: Since I last posted, I have begun work on the MF-102 review. It is turning out to be very difficult - even more so than the Catalinbread, which was hampered by my grandfather's death. I have also finished one about a Vox V-847, which was decent, added an ending to the Polychorus review, released a Danelectro Cool Cat 18v review, which was okay, and have begun work on the Red Llama clone. It promises to be my most scientific review, largely because I'm using the Journal of Human Evolution format to write it.
