I don't know who they were appealing to with that pedal. Seems like it's gonna be a total flop. It's a PT2399 delays with no time pot, no modulation, and no runaway feedback switch. It's a basic chip delay with none of the features that make me like the 2399, and it's gonna be $200. What a joke.

>No time pot

Why the hell is level a trumpet?

Whoops, should have done my homework. I thought from the video it was 2 set times.

Regardless, internal trimpots for vital controls..... Greaaaat.

Twin stags. I love it. I also hope/wish it can do stereo/parallel.

[Chankgeez]

Also, not to be a total dick but does anyone else think that Fuzzrocious delay sounds like hot garbage?

It sounded like the score for a Scandinavian student film. If you were making a low-budget artsy film about depressed youths struggling with mental illness, set against a background of wintery desolation, then people would forgive, if not appreciate all those extra artifacts. It certainly has its niche, but an engineer would hate you if you asked to record with that. With all the people complaining about the lo-fi character and noise of the Wizard, it would seem this pedal would have a lot of detractors as well.

Hey. Keep us Scandinavians out of this. That pedal sounds horrible.

Squier's Cribs Signature FSR (Fender Special Run) Guitars (Ryan Jarman Guitar & Gary Jarman Bass) available this September:



but already for pre-order here & here (if you live in Scotland).

I like the pickup choices and vibrato on the guitar and nothing else. I need that rhythm circuit.

Bass looks distorted.

[rfurtkamp]

I'm not a fan of much past the color on the pseudo-stang - if I'm going to go 24" scale and not have the magical Mustang PU angle (because then the "Mustang harmonic" doesn't happen using the PU cover and placement), I want a strangle switch at minimum.

But...I can forgive that for the matching HS, not that I likely wouldn't donor a standard Mustang PG/electronics set in.

The guitar looks like what the Jag-Stang should have been in the first place. I'd get one if fender did them in better colours.

[indianDYsummer]

Yeah ^ this guitar definitely looks like a cobain mustang mashed up with a jag. I totally dig it, if nothing but for the modding potential.

Looks like this style of Fender Bass V (only 200 ever produced?) which I never knew even existed in the first place:

[Iommic Pope]

Is that for like drop tuned surf-crust?

[Chankgeez]

It was made so that bass players could play across instead of up & down the neck. That's why it has only 15 frets. The reasoning was that certain reaches would be easier.

I need to hear this, now.

My favorites from the show:

Lightning wave: the pedals and lightning bolt are so awesome.
Korg: the box organ, FM volca, and minilogue
Some of the Japanese guitar builders
80tape: in limbo II...at lightning wave booth. Great sounding and tons of features...
Teenage Engineering and the op-z.
The ob-6 and prohphet 6 and all of Dave Smith

Hopefully I will get an chance to write up more on lightning wave and the lightning bolt soon.

I've got more photos and stuff if any one is interested. I dunno, kinda seems like people are over it all...haha, internet has too much information.
