The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[D.o.S.]

I say No to that Hiwatt. I would say No to any post Reeves/Joyce era Hiwatt.

Its just not a Hiwatt.

You could say the same thing about Orange.

And, in fact, you probably should say the same thing about Orange.

Trust me, he does.

just like The reissue Model Ts.

Its like if I sold off Dunwich to someone else, and it was still called Dunwich but you guys would be like hey!, thats no Dunwich!

Might ruffle some feathers but just my 0.02$

Eh the reissue HiWatts and Oranges are slightly different then the reissue Model T IMO. Atleast the HiWatts and Oranges attempt to pay tribute to the originals, for instance a reissue OR120 is still a 120w 4xel34 single channel head that has similar controls / look / vibe and the hiwatts are the same (depending on the era / manufacturer) where an overdrive 50 is still a 7 knob single channel with 4 inputs and similar power sections, but the reissue model T? The ONLY thing similar is the face plate, its 2 channels compared to the originals ?1? (I'm talking fully separate channels) its el34 instead of 6550's, it has an FX loop while the original doesnt, and the power section isn't even run in UL. They are nothing at all alike, not even really in looks IMO.

And I agree, there can be no Dunwich Amps other then Nick built Dunwich Amps (pedals though is a story IMO, if you design them but someone else builds them, myself included, i still kinda consider them true Dunwich pedals.)

Fair point Skip.

Well in the future, likely i will be building no pedals and employees will still be building mine

So is the Doom Room fuzz actually an interview process?

[new05002]

if you were a tree, any tree Kevin, which tree would you be and why?

[Ancient Astronaught]

A redwood, because I have confidence issues.

Just wanted to take a moment to impart how much I love I Love Doom.

Never really been much of a forum dude, I always lurked for info...but as most of the knowledge I have amassed is more on the extreme side of things and only applies to djent so much as to dispel the mystery I just never could get really involved, to many people abound that are all about their way is the best way.

Love all the subjective knowledge and genuine stokage everyone here has for what everyone else has going on, there is no drama that stems from someone being jealous of someone else and needing to beat them down to feel better about it.

Not to mention the rad people I have met both in the flesh and just via pixel...

Seriously should be an I Love Doom fest, I have a feeling it could be one of the best of its kind

That's the vibe I get from the whole doom community, internet and real life. It's rad and super supportive.

Seriously man, seems to stay that way all the way up the chain as well from the local doom bands with homemade demos playing only within 50 miles of town all the way up to Neurosis, Yob and Sleep.

Most other music communities are so caught up in ego and competition rather than reveling in the initial stokage that got them into whatever niche and supporting others in whatever way to help foster it into further evolved forms.

I also must say, the doomunity definitely has everything locked down, pretty much self-sustainable and non-reliant on commercial channels for any of the needs to keep the machine moving whether it be instruments, amps, fx, screen printing, graphic design, you can always find a down to earth doom dude that does it 10x better at a much more reasonable price.

[new05002]

i dont know if its a perfect utopia but the basic doom room threads do pretty well. Conflicts are handled very well and everyone tries to calm their ego down

[ridingeternity]

It's a perfect Udopeia as far as im concerned, anything I can't research or figure out on my own is obtained even by the tiniest tidbits of context I receive from picking brains here.

I've never played a Hiwatt (always wanted to but they never pop up around here) and I really love Sovtek amps so I dunno about that trade. If your amp and pedals aren't really doing it for you then I'd say go for it,

Assface, I'm kinda jelly that you get to spend 3 days in an actual studio. My band is trying to figure out what we wanna do for our next release and which studio to go to. There is one studio in Atlanta that I've recorded at twice before that Mastodon recorded their stuff before Remission at that does amazing work. there is also another studio down south that my buddies recorded at that the guy has a LP Custom from Dove and Matt Pike's Matamp from way back in High on Fire's early days. My buddy used it on their album and their tones were pretty hot. I really wanna hit that studio up because I wanna try out that amp and we can all record live and then go back in and do overdubs.

YES. DEM PIKE MATAMP TOANZ.

Also, Blue Moon is owned by Budwiser(or one of the other big beer companies). Not that it matters, at all, just pointing it out.

I thought they were owned by Coors. Not that it's any better Either way, I still love their winter seasonal, which is a really bastardized abbey ale.

Your whole post was awesome, but this bears emphasis.
