Why not just get your basic dirt from the amp?

I play various styles, and like various dirt to go with it. Don't want to constantly futz with the amp. And I also like to have a truly clean tone if I want one. Truth be told, though, if my B3K didn't sound better with a clean amp than my dirty amp, I'd just leave it dirty, but it just pops into a punchy clean GK.

GK amps and the fender BXR series are my favorite clean amps so far. They beg to be used clean and play with dirt so well anyways. Regardless though ideally I always like to have a fundamental clean tone.

Whatup dudes. Gonna try my hands with yet another Digitech BSW and see if that scratches my recent envelope filter itch. Found a cheap one last night.

I scored a 3 leaf audio groove regulator 2 awhile back in a trade. I can honestly say I don't need a new envelope filter! It's got a literal ton of options and with the internal gain adjustment Im able to make sure it doesn't gain or lose volume when powered on.

Gonna do a little more delay play today, but last night kind of turned me off. If I can get a cathedral I think big reverb is about as echoey I need be. I'm just not meant to be The Edge, no SMMH needed here.

Might entertain the possibility of keeping the donner around as a noise generator as it was $25.

Forgot to mention, I Tried an ibanez black eagle reissue the other day. Was only like $499 I think, seemed really cool looking.

What was weird was all the hardware and crannys were covered in that white caked on dust you generally find in the cavities of at least squier grade guitars.

epiphone likes to cake the pickup selector switches on their cherry sg guitars too, making one wonder why the pickups work sometimes and sometimes they don't

View attachment 668364 Got the donner delay pedal for $25. Nice packaging for a $30.99 prime shipped pedal. Tryouts after work. It's a clone of a Mooer echolizer that's a digital clone of a maxon AD999?

Eno is another cheap pedal brand making micro pedals. I got the Rat clone and it sounds awesome. Though I do want to get all my core pedals to be the boutique versions and not the budget ones. In due time.

****. I have this employee who was complaining about the speed of another of my guys to the supervisor of another shift. That supervisor extended that to my boss. He and I decided that the slow guy, who excels at packing, should only have to sheet(flatten out) his pizzas so he can start packing faster. To make this possible employee 1 has to mix the dough and shape it into rounds. Shaping would take guy 1 maybe 20 minutes and guy 2 an hour or more. Guy 1 is refusing to do the work claiming its to much. This same guy refused to finish work the other day because he was done packing his bread and no one helps him, so he shouldn't have to help the rest of the team. What he is failing to consider is that he never has to clean up our mixing area, or any machines other than the one he primarily uses. He never takes his trash out after production, only his packing trash, and 90% of the time if his bread has to be cases up, I do it for him.

Another thing he is failing to consider is that no one helps him pack because everyone else is still making bread while he packs. He and guy 2 are responsible for 2 products each and he has been vocal about only wishing to do the buns he is responsible for. Everyone else is responsible for 5-6 products, so generally we are producing for 6-9hours before we can help pack. It's a balance, more production is less packing, and less production is more packing.

The best part, I have to have another supervisor translate because my name is the extent of this guys anglais.

Sorry to rant, but **** this is frustrating. I get little to no sleep and this culero has me awake for hours before my shift texting me about how he refuses to do the assigned work. This is a grown ass man, 44 I believe. I'm 27 and will do whatever it takes to get the job done(and I don't expect that attitude in equal measure from everyone) but I really dislike having to shepard people almost 20 years older than me like children. It's ********. Pinche culero.

Good news: MDT's got seven gigs on the docket through November, including a couple "acoustic" coffee shop gigs. Meanwhile, progress with new band continues with another jam tomorrow night. If 2nd band gets up-and-gigging I may be back to doing 3-4 shows a month. Haven't been that busy in a couple years.

Wish I could say that. Lots of projects in the air but little movement.
