WHEN BLUES LAWYERS MAKE FUN OF SHOEGAYS

[blakestree]

Capo with a Bigsby? Capo on the 7th fret?
Maybe I just don't know enough about capoing & Bigsbying?

If he had put the trem arm under his foot he mighta actually been doing something.

PEDALS ARE ONLY FOR SHOEGAZE. All blues lawyers are shoegazers if they use pedals.

Yep, blooz guys are all about their straight-into-the-amp toanz. And their buffered wah. And vintage Tubescreamer., buffered if they didn't send it to Kelley. And Klon or Klone, also with a buffer. And a compressor. Oh, and a modded Arion chorus for Landau faux Leslie toanz, though likely true bypassed. And a Timeline for a little slap.

Funny thing, that board in the pic is bigger than anything I've ever played out with or used jamming with anyone. And I'm a total 'gazer.

This is too true. I'm seriously of the amp tonez school though, my board is an OCD that I never use, a TU-3 because I've found its strobe is really accurate, and my ABY. Seriously, minimalism, always. If you know what you're doing, trimming the fat from your rig is easy. If you don't, you end up a blues gazer!

I like it both ways. straight in, or with a bunch of goopy peddles. Depends on the day

This just hurts to think about.

I've just never been happy with using pedals. Like the OCD just stays off unless I *really* need it now because I got sick of using it for dynamics.

I luv pedals. This is a trained behavior. My first amp was a Crate Flexwave 15. I needed a distortion pedal to switch between clean and dirty while playing. I was learning "higher" by Creed. A Low point. I thought they were hella heavy. (I had been listening to a-ha and Duran Duran up until then. Still unforgiveable.) But I could never accurately push they channel switch button without stopping playing. So dirt box. Then delay. then wah. chorus. phaser. tuner.

Pedals is my sound.

[waltdogg]

Necessity is the mother of invention, I guess then. I've never found need for effects or the faux-channel switching ability you get with a dirt pedal on a clean amp. That's not to say I haven't used 'em though. Because I used to be really into stupid clean amps like Fenders and Sunns and I would need to add a dirt and "better" sounding 'verb (RV-5 lol). They were always on pedals, but it's the same general idea.

seriously going over to THE OTHER SITE that shall not be named, its like a whole other world of pedals they are into. Like the Bogner stuff and the Klon of course. It's fucking weird man. I swear they all play PRS guitars into some kind of boutique-but-better-than-your-boutiqe amp.

Sample topics:
"Best Tubescreamer for SRV tone?"
"Menatone The King or Wampler Plexi Drive Deluxe?"
"Big Muff or Sue EHX for offensive name?'

(Ok I made the last one up).

[colossus]

I remember seeing a thread over there (or it may have been another t-style guitar forum that shall not be named) about how the fuck overdrive was offensive and until brian changed the name, would not be found on any p&w boards.

I just traded my Devi God Zilla to a P&W guy. That made me feel good.

The capo and bigsby work together as a string buffer.

Allows the soulnites to more uniformly coat the strings and a clearer connection on the divine line dialed in by the JHS JOTML.

Bladaow, now you're blues schooled; but you'll never pass the blues bar without a comprehensive Bigsby Blues Bar Exam Course.
