Apple does a lot in Austin.

Are the clips in the stock or modified position?

found the answer haha

[hazelwould]

Great...now I'm convinced I need to try an HM-2.

[WeHuntKings]

Goddamn those clips sound good...particularly impressed with the bass clips.

Dibs on the flip, jwar.

Maybe the Hangman needs to go out on a tour box, along with a bunch of other W&C yummies? I'd sign up for that.

Whaddya say, Matt?

[Joe Gress]

I dig that chunky bass riff for sure.

[hollowhero]

A tourbox would be awesome I'd finally be able to figure out which W&C muff I need

Been tooling around with the Wren and Cuff White Elk I picked up in Tokyo for the last couple of days and thought I should be bump the thread to say how impressed I've been with it so far. It's got a slightly more raspy, buzzy tone than any other Muff I've used and the range on the tone knob (which works in reverse, like the original Elk Sustainer) is really good. It also responds well to rolling off the volume on your guitar, unlike a lot of Muffs. Crank the sustain and it sits fairly and squarely in Boris territory, which is never a bad thing.
I'll try to do some sort of demo, maybe comparing it with the Maxon D&S (another Muff) I also picked up.
Really nice job, guys, and your pedals were all over Tokyo.

[Chankgeez]

Nice, I'd definitely like to hear you do a demo.

I wanna White Elk.

In the meantime, I might have to settle for this white horse:

Quick and dirty demo of the White Elk on Soundcloud:

https://soundcloud.com/boy_called_horse ... lk/s-Ezb2c

Guitar is a Yamaha SG-2, amp is a Vox AC4TV, recorded straight into an iPad.
Starts with clean guitar (bridge pup first, then the rhythm circuit) then the Elk. Sustain and tone are set at 12 o'clock. Moves through the sustain range and then the tone range (exciting stuff). Single note riff on the bridge pup starts around 2 minutes. Sustain is backed off a touch from full. Switches to the rhythm circuit (neck pup) around 3 minutes.
I also did a comparison of the White Elk with a Maxon D&S (second version, probably around 1977 or so). The Maxon sounds great, too, maybe a little rougher:

Same guitar and amp. Riff runs through pickup selection (bridge, both, neck) clean and then with both pedals, Elk first, D&S second. There's some chordy stuff using both pups at 2 minutes (again, clean, Elk, D&S). Ends with some noodling on the D&S.

Finally bought a Box of War. I absolutely cannot wait to unleash the crushing fury in that pedal.
