Thanks, rickenbastard.

Those don't suck. They sound great! The camera on your phone's better than my 10 year old camera. The only thing I'd suggest is that you either play louder or somehow try to get the bass away from the mic. You're picking up a lot of the actual sound of you hitting the strings.

Yeah, I couldn't turn up too loud because it was night and I'm in a small apartment, then also had to sit close for quick adjustments. Next time I'll just turn up louder. Screw them.
Here's the Static Fuzz demo though:

And it is leaving today for the someone else to enjoy

It's heeeeere ...



At first glance, this looks to be many hours of fun about to happen. The Landphill is freaking huge and would dwarf anything less than a size 13 shoe. I'll post some mini reviews after giving everything a whirl and will try to record something before mailing everything to the next destination. Many thanks to chank and Idiotbox for making this happen.

I just spent several hours tinkering with contents of the Idiotbox tourbox using various guitars.

Whores Fuzz Freq: More interesting than anticipated. All sorts of evil and grating textures are possible with modest amounts of gain. I prefer the fixed filter in the pre-fuzz position and bet this would sound decent with bass. The filter also interacted well with other tourbox pedals.

PowerBoost: This was my first Colorsound Overdriver experience. It is kind of anemic sounding as a stand-alone gain source and excels at boosting other tourbox contents and Marshall-type amp models on my Amplifire. It brought the djent when used in conjunction with the Landphill and an 8-string guitar.

Static Fuzz: Probably my favorite of the four pedals. Numerous online demos showcase its higer gain capabilities, so I was surprised to discover what is possible near minimum gain. There's a sweet spot right around zero gain where white noise bleeds through at full volume if the white noise knob is set beyond 12:00. The resulting ambience is eerie and pairs well with vibrato and subtle glitching.

Landphill: Definitely a bass pedal, but works decently with a guitar, too. It belts forth old-school thrash, is pretty scooped overall, and seems like a Rat/Marshall hybrid preamp. There's more than enough gain on tap (ranging from chimey overdrive to hyper saturated fuzz), and treble frequencies have to be adjusted carefully for the best results with guitar.

Though my current level of musical inspiration and songwriting focus is limited, I'll make a concerted effort to record something in the next few days.

And for the final chapter in this thread soliloquy, I offer a clip:

The Tourbox will be bound for its next destination within 24 hours.

Are you a professional Tour Box coordinator Chank??

Everything sounds awesome!

yes & yes

praise him.

Shit is hot yo

Especially the landphill, whores. Static fuzz is killer too but not my style. That said I could still dial in sounds I dug the shit out of.

Powerboost made me mad because it was a sound I've used a lot before but it does it way better than anything I have and cleaner.

I'll make some videos tomorrow. Shoulda filmed my playing with them today; but I got excited and then lost the last hour and a half in them.

Shit is hot yo

Headed out to the next person.

Here's some sample audio. Everything in it is heavily saturated. Not single track went untouched by an idiotbox effect. This was done in a rush, so the song doesnt really fit well together, but it's for the tonez

I'll post a full rundown of the pre and post idiotbox sounds in the coming days. It's way more interesting than the actual combined audio
