The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[AxAxSxS]

Just don't fall into the cheap guitar trap. My $200 chinese rick clone has gotten 2 sets of schaller 3x3 locking tuners ($100) 2 alimitone p 90 riffians ($200)anice custom spec'd brass nut ($20) I reworked the bigsby so that it has posts for each string (free cause I did a half ass job myself), and just ordered a new bridge so each string will be individually intonateable. ($100)
I think with that, it'l be done. And literally the only one like it on the planet. But not so cheap anymore.

Ok, so about 5 minutes after my last post, there's a knock on the door and I get a package. A wonderful, pedal sized package.
Fuck yes.
So I immediately open it up and I get this beautiful handwritten note from one Dazza-matazz on top, some stickers, and this metal box with a gorilla on it, and then I go plug it straight in.

Fuck you, Darren. I was nearly late for work.
I was only gonna play for ten minutes before I had to go. Half an hour later I was shitting myself and breaking every traffic law we got to get to work on time.
Fuck that thing is awesome.
Just,

Fuck.

thats a great endorsement...i think i have the tag line for the Ape Blaster...

"The Ape Blaster, much like a morning blow job, you don't mind being late for work"

Fucking oath, Sam, you nailed it.
So good. I wanted to call in.

Also, forgot to mention,I love that Whiskey acknowledges he has a planet splitting, sub-frequency, volume generating doomsday device, but still craves more power. That is James Bond uber villain shit.

Also, nice rig Mc! looks tops.

First off, thank you guys for the roast. Much appreciated and funny as hell!!!

on the ghost disaster subject, i've never had the chance to play the combined pedal, but i do have both the disaster transport and the ghost echo on my board and it is a killer duo. i love those pedals. definitely my favorite all around reverb/delay combo. if i were going to bother with reverb and delay on a small board those are definitely what i would have. DT jr seems perfect if you don't need modulation.

did the ghost disaster have the footswitchable mod like the DT? that's one of my favorite things about that pedal.

No it doesn't have the modulation what it does have that is the big winner for me is a master on/off. So you can leave the master on and turn off individual pedals to get trails on your delay or verb, or if you want to use the delay / verb on your cleans but not once your dirt is on you can turn off both with one footswitch, alot less tapdancing. I'll have the supermoon for modulated sounds.

Marshall echohead (fucking awesome delay for 40 bucks).

My old band mate in DE had one of these and I couldn't agree more, the delays sound good and you have all kinds of different modes like tape or reverse that most cheaper delays sound like poo on but this one actually sounded pretty good. And built like a german tank!

I love my agile. They're well made an cheap enough that you can drop in new pickups for under $400

This! So totally this. I'm still trying to find a way to go pickup the black AL-2000 at at the used gear store where I got the HiWatt, it's the guitar I used to try out the HiWatt and it played and sounded amazing. Even Skully agreed for their bottom of the barrel model it played and sounded better then epi's and faded gibsons that are 4X the price.

i'm always impressed by Marshall pedals...their drive pedals, although the old Gov'nor's are better the new ones are still really good. I tried the jackhammer a while ago, and I have to admit for the price it was way better than you would expect...there are boutique pedals that don't sound as good.

The Marshall Jackhammer was the first pedal I got when I was around 12 or 13, haha. It did sound pretty good.

That's what I've got and my only regret is that I got the last of the 24 fret models he sold. They disappeared off his site the day after mine shipped If they start selling them again I would pick one up in a heartbeat. Honestly I'd be willing to buy any of Kurt's guitars. If you're unhappy in any way, he's more than accommodating. He recently started offering a model not unlike the old danelectro electric sitars. If I had any use for one I'd be on it like temples on a mountain.

Upon further inspection, they're out of stock/no longer being offered. But I found their webpage:

yeah i dont get it
why would they discontinue the sg shape

[new05002]

morning folks.

Im practically crippled feeling today. Ms. Dunwich got me to join up at her crossfit box and today was my 2nd workout at 6:30 am. Working out at 6:30 am is not stoner/doom. I need a refresh so I bring you this song. Its always a cleanser.

They didn't completely discontinue it, I just got the last 24 fret version. I don't use those extra 2 frets as much as I thought, but it's nice to know they're there. I kind of want to pick up one of their Teles as a backup guitar when I want something a little cleaner/chimier.

[ryan summit]

this is more choices then they had
when i was lookin

Agreed!!!! I've heard their reverb pedal is pretty awesome as well. I'm not quite sure why they never took off as a respected brand. I know they're not actually made by marshall and they were sub contracted and just had the marshall name put on them but the build quality is top notch and the sound quality is more then adequate for their price range.
