the pedal is like 4x5, and the switches are pretty nicely spaced to allow individual and simultaneous stomping. I had the time this weekend to get some guitar time in, sounded aces.

Yeah I guess I am doing things right, she is trying to put in her will that she wants me to raise him if anything happens to her. I tease her damn skippy, that is better than taking a puppy to the park to get the ladiez. Yeah I am all alone raising this little feller here, I said we can have Mommy try outs! She doesn't like that comment.
New custom Dunwich pedal ordered, BAM. I've got the DA120OD in my possession right now as well, for demo recording purposes. Still not nearly enough, I need that ODB.
Thanks, I dig the #1 Echo I have now but I sure miss the tap tempo function of the Headrush. I keep eyeballing the DD20 and the TC Nova Repeater(actually had one and should of kept it) but they aren't cheap. Plus that Mooer Reecho Pro is sure taking its sweet time to hit the market. I think the D-seed is the ticket.
Kind of hooked on various dirt through pitch fork(octave up and down), phaser, and delay right now for slow annoying ambience.
You guys aren't good for my pedal GAS. I try to keep things minimal. All I have at the moment is a fuzz, but I'd like to add some kind of echo and maybe an octave pedal. But one pedal is like a gateway drug. Before long I end up with drawers full of the things.
Well, I know Mr. Squanch has an EHX Echo box for sale, and I'm considering it, but I went on a bit of a spending spree recently (one new bass, few sets of strings, a couple of pickups, a wiring harness, some straps, replacement pickguards...) and I'm pretty tapped out.
I didn't even get a real amp and now I'll have to wait another year while I borrow from others or rock out on my 35 Watt el cheapo practice amp.
There was a period in the late 90s when I had enough gear to open my own music store. Guitars, basses, amp equipment, recording equipment, analog synths, and I literally had a large dresser cram packed with fx pedals.
Then, by various turns of life circumstance, I ended up with almost nothing for a long time. I'm trying to keep it minimal, but it's damn hard.

LOL don't forget Ol' Squanch gives Doomer Discounts so it would be cheaper than in the classifieds.
Heh. I DO loves me some EHX stuff. I used to have a ring modulator by them (about the size of a shoebox) that was killer, and I've owned numerous iterations of the Big Muff.
I used to run both a Sovtek Big Muff next to a ProCo Rat. That sounded so dirty my wife said she had to take a shower after listening. No definition whatsoever, just enough fuzz and scree to levitate the housepets.
My girlfriend doesn't like to buy me gear because I flip stuff so often LOL. Good thing I love the Pitch Fork as it ain't going anywhere. She also won't let me sell my TB500 just because it is blue.
A fuzz!!! Sheesh, living pretty large ain't ya? I only use a tuner!!! Olde Skool!!!
It's a modded up high gain distortion, with 3 band EQ and built in boost, for guitar.
That is a weird thing. I don't think I've gone to a bar that's in a strip mall. Would feel weird.
Actually... how the shag does bar hopping even work in SoCal? You have to drive everywhere, it seems. I guess you really need a DD there.
Wood is a much more common construction material than brick on the west coast because we discovered in 1906 (and at other various times) that without a shitload of metal reinforcement, brick is absolutely terrible in an earthquake, due to it being both relatively brittle and also heavy (breaking into small but dense pieces that plummet onto people and kill them). Wood, while not perfect, and adding to the fire danger after earthquakes, is comparatively lightweight and flexible. It'll still get messed up, but the people inside the structure have a greater chance of surviving at least the earthquake itself.
Essentially, the building materials you want for dealing with earthquakes are opposite to what is best for dealing with, say, tornadoes and hurricanes.
So going back east is always weird and a little uncomfortable for me, because of all the un-reinforced brick everywhere, which is just normal for the area, when having grown up here, even after telling myself that, part of my subconscious is screaming at me that I'm in a deathtrap.
A bunch of white guys in a band named "Black Pussy?" That's just... well, while I'm totally willing to accept that they're well-meaning fellows and not ********... naming yourselves "Black Pussy" just seems like a really stupid thing, and it concerns me that at no point did any of them go "wait a minute... you know, we're a bunch of white dudes, maybe this name is kinda not the best for us?"
Like another dude said on the other thread, if it had been a sludge band made up of angry black chicks, then it'd be cool, ala Pussy Riot.
Dude, work sucks. That is kinda the truth of life. A lot of our society is devoted to trying to sugar-coat the fact that work sucks and we're basically all prostitutes (I don't really see much difference between selling your body for sex and selling it for any other kind of labor that you wouldn't choose to do otherwise).
And in the last three decades, wages have really declined in comparison to inflation, cost of living, etc. It shaging blows. It's not whining to talk about the suckage of it is getting to you.
It's not helped by this society's expectation that everyone's lives are basically about their jobs, which is a subconscious social expectation that isn't really present in some other cultures (for example, Spain... we got to know the family of our exchange student pretty well, several years back, and it became clear that while both her parents had liked their job, there isn't the same cultural idea that work is what life is about, there).
Yeah. shag that. I don't know how anyone manages to want kids, given the baby stage. Ugh. Not for me, definitely.
Yeah... I don't have any kids, but I'm thinking about getting fixed. I know I wouldn't be a good parent, and will never be able to support kids, and I just... well, to put it bluntly, I just don't like babies. Just don't. Kids after that are all right, I guess. But babies? I don't know how anyone copes with that part of child-care.
Yeah, I had a kid mega early, missed all the crazy college party years. Then just had another at 30. by the time ready to do my own poopie, I'll be dead.
That "Your tone doesn't matter" thread over in the basses section is weird.
Of course my tone matters. I have to listen to what my band sounds like, after all. I don't give a poopie if the audience notices. I notice.
The most frustrating, though, is the "bad ear tone day," which I think Mc Muench described a long time ago. I hate those days.
