Stoner/DOOM Bassists thread part 37: Ancient Alien Fuzz

Ancient Tone said:Thanks!!!!!!
They do!!! It's just pricey. I tried numerous different reverbs, but most of them had little variety, or poor tone. I needed something with a rack ton of presets (so i can match the verbs on our recordings to the live show) and alot of in depth versatility, and the Space was perfect. It's alot to handle, you really have to dive in and do alot of editing and saving, which deters alot of people, but it was perfect for me. Ever since i got the Timeline and Space combo, i've had absolutely zero gas for delay and verb.
Timeline fvcking rules. So does the SPACE. I wish I never sold my SPACE
Carvin has been public about their Christian ties (if they only knew what their instruments were being used for). It was actually a church player that recommended them to me so many years ago. (he also recommended TB at around the same time)
I didn't give Carvin much thought at that time because the Red Eye cabs they had, did not tickle my fancy and the basses at the time...Well, lets just say, I wouldn't have bought a Carvin if the SB hadn't came out.
it certainly is appealing to other certain folks but its mostly annoying. try to keep that kind of stuff out of dunwich. im not about to start including links to secular humanism anytime soon.
Carvin's About page on their website doesn't mention anything about religion. I'm talking about overt advertisement as a Christian company. It is pandering, plain and simple, and really annoys me. Same as when a company advertises that the owner or founder is ex-military over and over.
For example, Agape's description on FB is: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Col. 3:23
Sorry, but if I'm giving you $300 for a pedal board, I want you to be making it for ME and not jesus.

The magazine I get every so often has Psalms 98:4-5 on it. "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all of the earth; make a loud noise and rejoice, and sing praiseSing to the Lord with the harp, and the voice of the psalm."
Maybe not on their "about" page, but still in my face every two-three months.
But, I get what you mean. Supporting something that goes against your own ideals can be tricky. Wasn't the Earcandy guy the same? Is he who helped to start your policy?
Haha yes. It is a mixture of annoyance plus the track record of "christian" custom builders who have gone off the bat **** crazy deep end.
i have actually had reverse thoughts on this matter, what if a religious person wanted a religious themed dunwich amp. I am still out on this, i guess it would depend on what the person wanted.
also got the OEM Orange/Matamp knobs for some different fuzz pedals im going to build. yikes they are 8 to 9 bucks a piece!

Just thinking about the whole ray passive/active thing. Dunwich was talking about doing something to the bass that modifies the attenuation on the bass to make it similar to a passive. Don't some pedals have the active/passive switch that does the same thing? And if so... couldn't they just make a pedal that does just that and nothing else so actives can use whatever fuzz they want? Just a thought.. I could be totally wrong or whatever.
To me they are the ultimate "ambience" combo (or time based effects combo). The two play together soooo well, I used to be against digital effects but these two are beyond studio quality to me. I thought you had a space, but then i remembered you went through a gear purge not too long ago.
I always wondered if half of the "christian" builders were using it solely to gain customers, its common knowledge that praise and worship bands get money from the church for equipment, and they don't have to pay taxes so its much easier from a salesmans point of view (they taught me all of this when i worked at GC). I think its all a fallacy for the most part, and keeping up the facade makes alot of them go crazy. But that's just me and my conspiracy theorist mindset....
you could make a volume (using a knob not a rocker) pedal with a buffer that's designed to take switch the impedance from active to that of a passive, along with a volume control to lower the volume down to that of a passive. That way you get to keep your tone controls on your bass, but it interacts with pedals and your amp like a passive.
I just think it's hilarious, not only when someone who claims to be a certain way backs out on all their convictions when doing business. (I remember watching one of those repo shows where a pastor's wife was cussing out the dude and then gave him a striaght right hand. Dude went straight to the ground. LOL.) But then also tries to be included in everything, even the things that are against those beliefs.
Ex. Black Metal. Anyone here like White Metal? Anyone here wonder why there is even a genre for it? me too doomers, me too.
As long as your current product line features wizard images and what not, I am hoping that situation never comes up for you. But if it does, hey, it's a paycheck as far as I am concerned. Make your money, homey.
