Or at least little gnome like creatures. Earlier today I was playin and had some good tonage going on. I go to work and come home. Flip the amps on. All harsh sounding tonage. WTF

I swear these pedals have a personality. The Black Forest and Swollen Pickle especially.

I hate that! Dial in a cool setting, then the next day you hate it. I think a lot of it for me is my amp being a bit screwy right now but still..

I have found that after playing through a fuzz, I like my clean tone less, when I switch back to it. Is it possible that the high frequency content of a fuzz desensitizes the ears temporarily? So you play a fuzz for a while, and find a good setting, and when you come back later, it's harsh sounding, because your ears have readjusted, and you get the full frequency spectrum.

that's a good possibility. i strongly believe that the reason why all the "Texas roots-based player" types have tones i don't like is that they're all pushing Fender tweed Deluxe circuits with the treble way up and as such can't hear anything in the top end any more. this is of course even worse when you get into my age group.

you have to feed the goblins daily. it's the only way

Goblins are a definite possibility
as is adjusting ears

I have noticed because I am a basement jammer that temperature seems to have an impact on things as well I know if effects some pedals (analog delays Germs and such) plus I take my hat off which I think filters all the harsh frequencies. in the future everyone who hears me play will be required to wear a hat

I wear magic shades to eliminate any uncool sound derailing because of them drunk and disorderly goblins. Learned it by experimenting in studio sessions. Tried and true cure for the problem.

Nice surprise about this shorter form. Can you tell us what it is you are talking/writing about?
Has any info. about this shorter form been posted before (and i just missed it)?

You talking/writing about 27B/6?

goblins in a pedal sounds pretty fucking metal, imo.

why is that a problem?

i don't know about goblins, but there have definitely been times I was convinced there were demons in my pedalz

You have to sacrifice more to the Fuzz Gods.

Usually people either drink and get stoned or buy more fuzz pedluls to appease the Fuzz Gods. You are free to do both as well.

Cue to late period Entwhistle trying to find his high end by cranking the ever-loving shit out of it.
