The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[nightterrors]

I missed too much shit again.
That guild bass is fucking tits. Did they do a guitar in a shape like that? I love it!

S-300. Kim Thayil used one for a few songs when I saw Soundgarden

I seen him use one too, it was in 2011 sometime. July I believe.
Great looking and sounding guitar.
My buddy has a 90's reissue S-100 and its so nice. Love that thing.
Guild is just the best.

so...this is in no way doom at all...although that guitar tone is pretty nice...but i stumbled upon this song the other day. Never heard it before and was extremely surprised the band that did it.

i checked out their other songs, except for Venus, and the other stuff isn't too bad either...

AHHAHHA Venus is the jingle for feminine shaving goods. They just redid the music to fit the time period.

They got a cool thing goin for sure.

Well shit fellas, I believe I been dumped! She'll be over in a few to talk about stuff. She's real nice and there's been no foul play so I'd rather keep her but I suppose I'll survive it just isn't going to happen.

Also here's some pix of that lightning storm from the other night: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1018445

Sorry to hear that, man. A new era is upon you!

The Beta side doesn't sound at all like my Beta's lead channel or my friends (which is probably a good thing). I like my Beta for the clean channel with a little hair in it. Most solid state amps can't do mild gain that well but the Beta does. The lead channel sounds like a cheesy distortion pedal from the 80's which I have no fond memories of. So much Sunn hype in general comes from people that don't own them and they associate the amps with the final sound of the band not realizing that Model T's especially are just clean machines and have more in common with Fender Twins than say a cranked 800 or even Matamp (which only roars when super cranked).

I hear you on all that. I've seen bands go for Sunn gear and just sound absolutely terrible for the same reason, they got it for the hype. I really like the driven Sunn SS distortion sound, but i'm a sucker for dual pre dirt like this for the many different coloration options. I wonder if he plugged it into a Sunn SS slave if it would sound more like the Beta?

Ryan will be here soon guys. If you dont hear from me for a while im either rapededd and killed or weve run off and got gay married.

Where should I send the wedding gift?

Long day but Chris/Handsome Beard Etch/Death Monkey came over with a friend to tech a meatsmoke preamp (still working on that) and get to jam out on the DA200 and check a few pedals that have not gotten out there yet like the HM2 mod.

but I also drilled out the 3 prototype Marsh Chapel pedals

I am very excite about these. I've recently started convincing myself that my second board should really be a PT Jr instead of a mini. Which means twice the pedals. Which means MOAR FUZZ. Also reverb and delay and something swirly - maybe a flanger or a vibe

got to see yours and WWs work nick
god them amps are gorgeous
had to split cause the office of
place were stayin at was closing

you could do chin ups at my 13th fret
i believe he compared it to bass action
and again...nicest dudes round here
where were you guys when i was growin up
everyone i ever met was a bunch of assholes

VACAY....ONE WEEK....FUCK YALLS AND YER LEAKS
and your wonky flashing,and your rotten porches
ima wallow on hollowed ground
in the ancient blood of our civil war
and buy a $4.95 coffee mug

Would you be horribly against someone collecting and publishing your posts as a book of poetry? I'm only joking a little bit.

ULTRA BADASS AD140 PICS

There simply aren't words to express my jealous hatred right now.
Not really.
But kind of.
I also really, really want a single channel AD30 now.

In non multiquoted news, I haven't been playing guitar much recently. A lot of family in town. A lot of preparing for the baby. What guitar I have been playing has been acoustic, and I'm actually learning some old Zepplin that I never bothered to learn. Probably a good thing.

My green Tele, which I named Josephine after my Nana (bought it with inheritance cash) is as much of a fickle bitch as my Nana. Which is kind of awesome. Sometimes it sounds great. Sometimes it sounds really dead and muddy (even unplugged) dunno if that's the Bigsby or the roller bridge. Or maybe it's just a shit piece of wood. Either way it's here forever and I love it

Work has been slow at the new job since the kids are home for the summer. It will pick up at an alarming pace in a couple of weeks when they are back. In the mean time I started writing a book. A really obvious cultural analysis that somehow nobody has written yet. Doing it up in a Chuck Klosterman style collection of essays. Pretty proud of it, but pretty embarrassed to show it to anyone. Maybe I will finish one day it and show it to you guys.

That's it. Nice to read through and catch up on everything.

Footswitch a half an inch from a control knob? I don't even care how it sounds if that's the best they can come up with for ergonomics.

[The Wood Wizard]

Agreed, I modded a bassballs a long time ago and i put two knobs right next to the footswitch like a jackass. have to use it sideways or tipietoe to get to it.

I just bought a pedaltrain grande......

This is the only problem I have with my Pharaoh...I tend to bump the volume knob quite a lot...I see what you mean, sometimes when you stomp a dirt pedal you just have to crush it as hard as the impending chord, definitely not worth fucking up a knob on a $350 pedal...but it is an O'Malley sig, I imagine this isn't much of a problem during a Sunn O))) set.

I'd really like to give a pedal like that a go with this Garnet slave I got. Tonight is the night I fire that thing up for the first time. Wish me luck!

A new era is upon you!

It sure is! She just came and finalized this shit. Painful and disappointing. But I'll survive and I thank you guys for the kind words.

[new05002]

Sorry to hear D, that always cuts a little deep. Just have to keep turning up the volume and ride it out.

Like Nick said, I for one believe there is no better therapy for any of life's woes than a small room with a dimed tube amp.

Well one way or another that'll surely happen tonight! Thanks gents, it's good to have friends.
