totally, what's giving you trouble specifically?

 

I DMed you.

 

Does anyone have some good boutique compressor suggestions? Thinking of a JHS Pulp 'n Peel but I'm curious what else is out there in a similar price range.

 

Pale Green by Bear Foot or The Accountant by fairfield circuitry.

 

I like the Warden by Earthquaker Devices. I’ve heard that the Deep Six from Walrus is also really good.

 

I am a big Walrus fan. Already planning on getting a Fathom reverb.

 

new old blood noise flanger sounds fantastic

 

the only boutique compressor i've ever owned was the Wampler Ego comp and it was a good pedal for sure. ended up selling it, but just because i just don't use compressors much at all outside of the dynacomp for when i'm playing country type stuff.

 

I just traded my ProCo Rat with an aditional gain stage toggle (far too muddy for anything I’ve been playing) and got a Boss DS-1 just for shits and giggles and you know what? I’m in love.

 

OBNE is the best

 

The DS-1 is a perfectly fine distortion pedal imo. Stacking it with other pedals is what really helps it shine. Running an OCD into it, I've found, really produces a nice, thick distortion tone. Nothing special, but it's far from bad.

 

I've never played an actual Boss DS1. I built a BYOC clone for someone and that was pretty cool, but it was quite a long way away from the off the shelf stuff Boss make now. It was using the old Japanese transistors and they'd also put a 4th knob on it to control pre-gain. Was very cool.

 

I had a Boss DF2 (distortion like the DS1 but had an "infinite feedback sustain" feature) that was surprisingly good. I bought it for the feedback function... someone stole it from me at a show and now they go for 4x the price I paid. :(

 

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a Headrush Pedalboard... anybody played one hands on?

 

honestly about to pull the trigger on a stef carpenter sig from ESP lol

 

6, 7 or 8 string?

 

he has a six string sig? i thought it was just 7 and 8...

im leaning towards the 7, non-tele, with the fishman fluence pickups.

 

yeah i’m definitely gonna fuck around and pick up a 7 string, looking at a few schecters and ESPs

 

My Providence Stampede pedal arrived today.

Time to bust out some Jane Doe type riffs tonight.

 

i need to get around to building the Ballou pcb card based on that

 

I was going to do that but the Stampede was $99 on Reverb. I just couldn’t pass it up.

 

I have one that my cousin built for me, it sounds excellent.

 

Just bought a Friedman Overdrive pedal. Loved it.

Of course, I was playing it through a Fender Reverb and that thing took it so well that I might save up for that now lol

 

I have the 68 DRRI and I love it.

 

These Modern Flying V's remind me of the band Orgy and their 1999 cover of "Blue Monday". If you revisit that video (lol), I feel like one of the guitarists is playing a similar guitar. Gibson needs to get it's shit together ASAP.
