Oh you just crank that to reinvigorate your boner for Russ's guitar

They're meeting up with Howl next week for a trek and then going back out with Ramming Speed and Valient Thorr in the late summer. So pumped to see things getting big for those dudes.
I cannot wait to be a part of this. Still never heard Ramming Speed but Valient Thorr is pretty sweet and Lord Dying is f'n GREAT

Best served with bass guitar, for sure.

That was a killer set! I really love you guys' sense of melody. Amongst many other things, not least of which is the big fuckin TONE. Infinite Flux really rules. You're my favorite 'Tacoma band' already! Having Ryder join up was a major coup. That dude's the Secret Weapon :0)

He does do that and it rules. Lends some extra stage presence to an already dynamic dude. Those are certainly
my tone secrets. I love to see how other people work it but I have basically never had worthwhile results from stacking two dirt pedals ever. The closest was a Big Muff and Naga Viper together but even that sounded a little choked I guess?

All the dudes involved are the types that go to shows all year long and just want to make sure bands have a legit spot to play in SLO rather than have to pass through and lose out on gas money. Anything helps, and even if you can't donate...sharing around would be much appreciated!
Also we are open for booking, so hit me up if you want to play here and I will be able to let you know by the Sunday of that week (We have a board of volunteers who donate time that get to vote on the shows, anyone is able to volunteer...but fortunately enough for now those that are getting off their butts are my friends so you will pretty much be booked no doubt)

This is radical! I sure hope Steve's been trying to put something together with you for our little excursion in October.

But no pedalboard at the house
Guess I'll have to get truly intimate with it and see what its capable of. Be prepared for some new full tri amp rig pics next week.
True story: I almost snuck an ABF demo unit into your Verellen box.

Now I'm not saying grown ups can't make up their own mind about chorus but it's a bit of a funny proposition around here. People are very very very self conscious about their possibly sounding remotely 'grunge'. That's like a dirty word around here now. You especially don't EVER want to sound like Nirvana. So chorus is just plain O-U-T out. Which is retarded as fuck. Music is art and art should be free. I mean having freedom, not no monetary value. So anyhow, I recently received the entire line of Mr Black pedals. The ones I was specifically after were AMAZING. But the secret sleeper of the whole deal was that Double Chorus. It's great fun and sounds real good. So my buddy who is one of the self conscious, deathly afraid to be viewed as unhip by the local hipster intelligentsia type hipsters, says on the phone that he wants to try 'em all out. Especially the phaser (which is just fucking filthy btw). I tell him that yeah the phaser is fucking sweet but the real hidden gem is that chorus... dead air. Then we go up to my practice space and as he's hooking up I reiterate how nice the chorus is. He again says nothing. So he spends the next hour diligently playing all these pedals. Except the chorus. Wouldn't even touch the chorus. I'm 100% certain that chorus is just not allowed in his mind and I'm 100% certain that 90s Grunge Fear Syndrome is to blame. That is fucking sad. Trying to specifically avoid a thing is almost exactly the same level of cliche as trying to specifically copycat a thing.
Anyways, here's some videos. The first one is the main thing I originally wanted from Mr Black.

Thank you so much for posting this John! And Parker thank you too. I see you out there evangelizing my wares and it means alot. I'm at the beginning of all this entrepreneurial shit and I need all the help I can get. And thanks to all the rest of you dudes for saying the good words about my Ape Blaster. Hopefully it's all onward and upward from here. Also, Popedude I see have a PM from you. I'm on it as soon as I finish this behemoth multi quoter here.

It isn't mastered yet, but here ya go.
That shit is heavy duty bro! I like.
AxAxSxS wrote:Ya know its kinda funny, you got brought up at practice tonight too and we decided you need to move up here with all your stuff.
Seems like a good idea to me! Pawn shops are pretty weak around here though.
Here's what I've been up to lately:
he heard some of my rig (missing the red bear and a fullstack worth of cabs) twas cool gettin to show someone how I roll 
I can honestly say that the nicest people I've met online have all been from Seattle (aside from a few strays here and there), and its definitely home to some of my favorite bands I've found this year. My girlfriend really wants to move the PNW, and I'm torn between Portland and Seattle.
