So after about a month of dicking around on VCV Rack and Ripplemaker I have decided that I want to get further into the world of synthesizers and get me a physical, semi-modular patchable synthesizer for making cool ambient Krell-like soundscapes as well as a bunch of glitchy noise. The models I'm ...

To Wit: Joyo Dyna Compressor, Tuner, Digitech Digidelay that will likely be replaced with a Malekko Charlie Foxtrot for glitchy goodness, EHX Pitch Fork with expression pedal mostly used as a fake whammy bar, EHX Silencer noise gate looping all my loudeners and modulators, EQD Bit Commander, Boss FZ ...

Whoops I've become an even worse gear asshole than I was last year! At least I've started to sell off some of the stuff I'm not actively using. My excuse for buying more pedals atm is that the band I joined recently is a bit more shoegazy/effects-heavy than I would have come up on my own so I feel ...

Guitarheads. Their price point is comparable to GFS. In any case they sound great!

So, I did a thing. This is/was a Squier Bullet Mustang souped up with: ¢ Two Humbucker-sized P-90s ¢ Wilkinson Half-Tele Bridge ¢ Custom b/w/b pickguard cut by PickguardianI soldered it all together so it s an absolute ...

Pulled the trigger on a Studio Pro 40 online from Guitar Center. Just under $100, shipping and all. The band I'm playing with these days is based a half-hour from me so I wanted something cheap, loud with some good headroom for practice and gigging that I can keep over at the band space, so ...

This thing has been all over my Facebook feed the last few months. Pretty much marketed as a piano-style sustainer for your guitar (or whatever you plug into it). Retailing for $299 so YMMV. For what it's worth their demo videos sound good.

Thinking in the future about getting a Pro Block 200 or the Bass Block 800 for bass and baritone. Is there any advantage of using a Rusty into one of the Quilter heads over using, say, a Crown power amp?

As long as I get the wild pitch-shifting that occurs from futzing with the time knob, I'm game.

Dear Dr. Balls:I remember you posting a while back about doing a limited-batch run of delay pedals with an extra footswitch for self-oscillation. Is there a chance you have any left in stock or wouldn't mind building another order, and also add a jack for an expression pedal to control the time knob ...
