HA! Well I sure didn't learn 'em from Mike. He is totally against all these low voltage solid state contraptions.

Stalked? That can't be good...(note to self, back off on summit...Darren's case of stalking could make him weary...)
Soooooo, should I email you or PM you about an Ape Blaster order? Is now a good time or not really? I don't have the Electric Heat address, I've still got the Black Hand one though.
Also, fuck yes to new tube Soldano pedals. I can't remember if someone mentioned this already, but I'm pretty sure the original GTO was like 300v plate, but that's what made the fucker noisy, which people didn't like. My guess is he's solved that...? Either way, you could stick it in a loop, right? So bypassing didn't result in nasty hiss?
The stalking thing isn't a deranged fan or anything it's personal. Long story short, dude's been on the tweak for some time. I've had it and told him so. He got mad that I would have the audacity to give him the kiss off so he started pestering me. He has plenty of time for this, what with the speed 'n all. So yeah, any evidence I show of my existence on facebook will result in messages, texts, phone calls. As well as fucking messages, texts, phone calls to
other people. ETCETERA. FUCK.
This is an excellent time for ordering an Ape Blaster though! You can hit up that Black Hand one, send a message here or use my main email which is dirtydrockATcomcastDOTnet
The only time I had any noise issues with my GTO is when I created a ground loop. I know not of any "nasty hiss" either bypassed or engaged.

Howdy Trey! I saw ASG for the first time last night! You're the guy that turned me on to them. They were fucking killer.
I'm soooooo looking forward to playing with Lord Dying again. I love that band. Is Valient Thorr form NC? I sure hope we get over there soon!

I know the old Supercharger GTO's were $350. I wonder what he'll do for pricing on the new one.

Kingsley, Fryette, Faustone, Mesa/Boogie, EHX, Soldano, Budda, Hughes&Kettner all have made tube pedals in varying degrees that I believe all use either wall warts, and thus supply full voltages to the tubes, or use charge pumps like the Fryette stuff. Some of them are expensive and others not. I am of the opinion, and Nick and I have spoken about this before, that much of the money required to build a proper tube will be dedicated to custom made parts such as toroidal transformers, huge enclosures, etc., and also R&D because you need to source all these weird parts and have them made in bulk. It's worth it in the end but it's not like starting a company based around Big Muff and Fuzz Faces. It's a huge undertaking. I would love to do it myself. I feel there is a huge hole in the market for it.
I didn't know you made pedals! Also a wall wart is NOT used in conjunction with the Supercharger GTO. It has an internal transformer.

Yep they've been going for some pretty nutty prices on ebay in the past few years so he decided to reissue them.
Serial Hawk opened for Weedeater and ASG last night. Sadly they had just lost their drummer about three days before being offered this show. If I'm being honest then I'm saying the new guy was rough. They're still looking though. So if you're in Seatown and a badass slow drummer look them dudes up!
Crop and Stoneburner, both of whom totally failed to float my boat on the youtubes, were RADICAL on stage. Check them out.
I was watching Weedeater and feeling funny about the drummer. I was like "I know this dude". I kept watching and watching and then he flipped a stick in a certain way and it hit me like a ton of bricks: The new Weedeater drummer is FRIKKIN TRAVIS FROM WHORES. So we ended up broing down a bunch after the set. Neither of the Weedeater dudes was around so we mostly talked about Whores. Also Weed. Anyhow, last time I saw Weedeater thay had St Vitus' drummer behind the kit. It was AWESOME. But I think Travis is a better fit.
The two best tones of the night was the dude from Crop and then Sheppard (sp?) from Weedeater. They both have an approach similar to mine.
1 - Choose favorite pickup and play only that one
2 - Stick only one fuzz in between guitar and amp
3 - Slay
Write that down. Tone secrets dudes.
