There are a whole lot of new pedals hitting our boards and Ben (behndy) and I have discussed calling a NorCal GTG to bring all of our pedals into one room and feast our ears on all this coolness.

I have access to a very nice room in a recording studio in Sebastopol... I can ensure that Sonoma County's finest products (wine, beer, etc) are in the room as well!

There would probably be a small charge to cover the cost of opening up the studio... if we wanted to bring in an engineer to record, that might cost extra, but the main engineer is a bass player... so, maybe not an issue.

I'm open to holding this elsewhere as I know Sebastopol is a little out of the way... but, let me know what you all think!

wish i could be on the west coast to go to this...but i have to say!

take everybody's pedalboards...plug them into each other...turn on EVERY pedal...ad play something. Anything. and record it.

for just like 5 seconds. I want to hear.


maybe it could be done on the east coast, too, at the same time. just to even out thew awesomeness....

nice. will that be a True Bypass cutout? i never dug on buffered cardboard.

i'm super into this, but i will be out-country i think from around November 1st for three weeks. so before November or from December on is probably best for me.

yep. the whole point is to expose (giggety) people to pedals that are a bit expensive and hard to find where you can actually try before you buy. like....... most boutique pedals now. there are so builders doing CRAZY stuff right now, and it's a big step to just drop a bunch of cash in hopes that you like it.

i love the idea of this kind of meet up over just going on word of mouth on ze pedalz.

woot.

hah! just found out my Dingwall AB I 6'er's gonna be ready ahead of time. might have it as early as a week or two. ****ing EXCITED. so, if anybody wants to noodle around on a fanned fretter i can bring that.

i'm good (pending shows) anytime 'cept November 14-30.

when are we thinking about?
