just wanted to say that you probably have enough customers to get you started and then the word of mouth/intrawebs will spread and you'll have a business. don't look back thinking you could've done it man

This, also I get that you can definitely make more money just working but this is something you clearly love doing and you have a gift for. I'd be sad if you gave it up.

Also I'd be all over that sound city. Might be an easy fix!

There is a Sound City 50+ in Dublin I'm eyeing up. I hear it's a little like a Hiwatt, but not as clean, which I like the sounds of. I dug the dirty tones of the Hiwatt Custom 100 I tried, but the cleans were too dry and clean for me.

cleans. . . PPPPPPPPPPPPPHHHHHHT

I keep trying to use some clean bits with Flux, it doesn't work except for one song where I loop a slow gear/delayed fuzz and then add the clean track over it for clarity.

I love playing clean.

Went to a local BBQ joint had this for dinner



Was a pretty good show, just 3 bands means I was not fatigued by the time Windhand finished their set. Chatted with guys in Elder for a bit, very nice dudes! Bassist was using the first pedal I ever built, a tubescreamer clone which killed me but his bass tone was damn good, that and a Proco Rat into an old Sunn. Nick rocked a Pharaoh into his what I came to know was a highly modified Sound City 120 built into DR103 Overdrive type specs. Windhand had dual GT120s but the amps were stripped of logos and markers but I recognized the control panels and layout, no mistaking a Matamp.

Is that mac and cheese in a barbeque sammich?!?!?!

fuck...just realised its been a long time since i've been here. had a lot going on, with very little time to do much besides work and looking after my little kid...and with the added work of a side business that i have going on with a friend...which i will fill you all in one in a few weeks; its going to be really exciting, and i think most of you guys would like it too.

Dunwich has 2 possible futures.

1. Taper down to part time hobby with no active building for customers

2. Create team of people to run and manage Dunwich where I just run it from the top of the pyramid.

anyway...been scrolling through the last few pages, and a lot to read...but Nick...i saw this post...and maybe i got it out of context, but i could help out if you want as far as financial advice - my day job is modelling out business plans etc...but in any case, I hope you don't mind me offering an idea...have you thought of an option where you secure a base line of revenue, which is based on low cost and reasonable revenue to fund the day to day of the business. This may be unpopular, but what you could do, is partner with a pedal/amp manufacturing company in china or somewhere similar to build lower quality pedals and low wattage amps, that although will have lower build quality and components, can still have the spirit of the Dunwich sound. Not only can you sell it under the Dunwich label, but you could also white label it which is a big money spinner. This allows you to run a business with very little overhead and no real fixed costs. Then you could do the custom high quality type work you are doing now and that would be cream on top as far as revenue goes.

would that make him the First Act of the amp world? I mean -- I'd play a sick First Act Custom.
Would definitely play through quality-ish Duwnich pedals and some baby 5w doom machines and buy sick custom down the line.

HOLY FUCK. . . .

Today's score thanks to Aaron(Whiskey)!
