The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[whiskey_face]

Sam, try a 2x15 if you can find one. More surface area to move more air=more perceived volume and toanz. I'm looking at letting go of some cabs to make room for the new and that old Kustom 2x15 is staying. Not the loudes or most efficient but it sounds really fucking good.

do you guys ever go through a time where youre like FUCK EVERYTHING I HAVE SELL IT ALL AND RESTART AGAIN!!!

??

Wait... whut?

Also, peeped your sig. I wish to become an ordained minister in the Church of the Riff.
Seriously. We need to get this turned into a legit cult.

dude im pretty unmedicated atm forgot that shit for like the last 3 days. so im kind of a fucking mess. upset over nothing, flying in the clouds because of everything. you know. . . . like



all at the same time.

like im all fuck sell erreythin and snag electric? (thanx fuzz you fuck)

or just keep adding just keep adding. . . im sure we all know my answer, but im never happy with my shit. *weird i know) like I am for 5 mins till I see the next target. I have a sickness i suppose.

Dude, I'm with ya. I guess I'm lucky that the jam room is kinda small and to make room I have to decide what makes the cut and what doesn't. With that fridge sized 4x12 coming in I'm thinking the 2x12 and marshall 4x12 are gonna go. I'm gonna unload the 4x first though and keep those for a custom cab build. I want to have Amp Henge when we gig. 5 Fridge sized cabs and 5 amps. For our three piece band I hope we can fit it all in the van.

[whiskey_face]

dude my amp room is like 10 x 10 and i have to share it with the wifes treadmil and fuckin the cats litter box. . . and all my other shit. needless to say floorspace is fucking non existant.

[AxAxSxS]

That's probably what we're working with.
One wall is amps, one is computer and board and pa amp, one corner is drums and then Tony and me try to squeeze ourselves and our boards in the middle sorta. Shit gets fucking hot in there with everything on!
I don't know how Ryder/roadbull does it. I sweat my ass off and he wails on those drums and seems good to go.

I'm tempted to put the pa, board and PC into another room but I think the wife would kill me. she's pretty tolerant about the band and I don't want to rock that boat.

I'm picturing you in the middle of all those cabs pointed at your head just wailing on a bass and levitating from the sonic pressure. fucking Zen man.

[whiskey_face]

the sonic pressure is pretty amazing. even at "low volume" when theres that much energy in a room it gets silly. . .

8 10s
10 12s
2 15s
3 18s (one being horn from hell)

at full tilt it fucking hammers the dome thats for sure.

[AxAxSxS]

Dude that's crazy. I'm looking at the combined rigs right now and its-
10 10s
10 12s
2 15s
1 18
Pretty fucking similar but I'm betting that earthquake is a game changer.

Edit: forgot the PA shit but that doesn't count anyways

[whiskey_face]

that horn is fucking retarded. no if ands or buts dude. the wife couldnt be in the same room with it being pushed by the v2. CLEAN pushed also. not tube ooowie goowie

[whiskey_face]

we need to jam. combine rigs and drone out with our bones out.

[AxAxSxS]

Some day I will build one. I saved all the info you posted about it back in the HC days. I have a rough blueprint. Just need the correct speaker to build it around.

Yep...just coming out the other end of it...its a cleansing experience!

Sam, try a 2x15 if you can find one. More surface area to move more air=more perceived volume and toanz. I'm looking at letting go of some cabs to make room for the new and that old Kustom 2x15 is staying. Not the loudes or most efficient but it sounds really fucking good.

yeah...2x15 would be cool...i'm buying a 2x12 for now, and then if i get to gig, i'll get a 2x15 and stack up the two cabs...that should give me a monster sound!

[iluvfuzz]

Aaron, you just need a or15 and you'll be totally cool with your rig

[whiskey_face]

Aaron, you just need a or15 and you'll be totally cool with your rig

hnng i know. I need to sell something first.

I dont think you want to be trabe bombed for it

[AngryGoldfish]

Just ordered a Electric Amps MV120 7 knob!!

How did I miss this?

take this with a grain of salt cause I think I have a fucking tin ear sometimes (dimebucker + walnut les paul + phat cat is tonal orgasm for me)

theyre lacking. kinda ho hum. BUT I personally have aftermarket pups in EVERYTHING so it was an understood expense from the get go.

for average joe just wanting bass theyre fine. but for asshats like me that want everything THEIR fucking way, theyre lacking but if youre like me you already have the extra expese budgeted

it also could be theyre just low output pups and I like ultra high overwound holy fuck pups.

What are you going to put in place of the stock pickups?

[AngryGoldfish]

All the time...most of the time though I realize that I'd only buy a few different things. Mostly I wish that I had a time machine to go back 15 or so years when you could buy Model T's for $100-200 and buy a few for my collection.

THIS!

I wish I could go back and get all the right gear for a start. I would have saved thousands and many hours scouring the web and fretting (pun not intended) over what to get.

do you guys ever go through a time where youre like FUCK EVERYTHING I HAVE SELL IT ALL AND RESTART AGAIN!!!

I've never done that. I feel too attached to what I have. I could do that with my guitars and probably will do, but I'll be upgrading them to something better, not just something of similar ilk. My Fryette Memphis amp is the best amp I've ever played. There is nothing else on the market that equals it, apart from other Fryette amps. Why would I change? Same goes for the smallsound/bigsound Fuck Overdrive. They're my two main tone creators and will never leave my side.

This is why people pay big bucks for vintage amps. If you come across one, then there's no wait on the build plus after awhile of trying to get people to build you something with that vintage tone you eventually ask yourself...why don't I just get the real thing? There are definitely times where I'm "fuck those wait lists" and then other times where I just tell myself to forget about it and then a year or two later cool gear magically arrives on my porch.

But then some wait lists, like the five-year wait for a Toneczar Echoczar or the rare D*A*M pedals, is a bit absurd and laughable. I'm pretty sure there are some extremely rare and expensive—like, $20,000 expensive—that have ten year wait lists.

[D.o.S.]

If you've got the patience and can afford to sink your money into a delayed return, why not do it?

On a different tangent, and not to get too high brow here, but what're some of your compositional influences?

Personally, I'm all about the one-chord space out jams. Hard to pin down where that came from, exactly, but it was really crystalized for me on my aforementioned lust for Dopesmoker, and the first three OM records. Lend in a helping dash of Acid Mothers Temple and the like, as well as going back way back for One of these days and other assorted mid-to-early Floyd tracks, as well as proper savant-sounding "Rock and Roll Roots Music" like Chuck Berry and such.

I'm pretty sure every band I've ever been in has had at least one 'creative disagreement' about the number of sections a song needs to have.
