Recording and mixing mine has taken about 4 billion times longer than expected, but it will be finished! I'll PM you the link when it's up.

What are you listening to right now?

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1392802448' post='2372821'] Steady on Bob! That's a quirky time signature by your standards... Probably better to play it safe and use a more familiar 23/8 or maybe a 17/5? [/quote] Don't worry, there are predominant sections of 5/4 and 7/4, and a random bar of 13/8, I haven't gone totally crazy.

Recording begins tomorrow. Whaddyaknow, I've written a song that's over 50% 4/4. I'm proud of myself.

I've tried to like others, but they always just fall short of the mastotron. For me, it's the perfect fuzz pedal. The impedance control, the gate that isn't a gate but still works better than any other gate on a fuzz I've ever used, it's just perfect.

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1392242502' post='2366475'] i think for this reason id always check the cables with a multimeter. also is it just me or are the diago plugs basically george l's? andy [/quote] Better, the screw head means you can really tighten them, george L's you can only get finger tight. I plumped for a Diago kit in the end. Incredibly frustrating packaging aside they're working out pretty well.

Aye, it's Ben Verellen's band so it's probably a big spider into the Meat Smoke, or to be honest it could just be the meat smoke on it's own.

Entry taking shape. Experimenting with actually recording guitars this time instead of relying on VST's. Currently recording the 12th track titled "Wall of sound". Still doesn't sound big enough.

Bump with price drop. -
[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1391819814' post='2361802'] shouldn't we all be out boozing, who'd have thought midnight on a friday night was rush-hour for pedal updates! [/quote] I started mine at 7pm. Including an hour break for dinner and The Last Leg I've only just finished.
-
Been on a bit of a shopping spree: Super Synth will likely make way (financially and physically) for an expression pedal and one of those mission multi-expression majiggys, as I now have 3 expression capable pedals and no expression pedal.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1390738685' post='2348773'] Have you heard GarethFlatland's band InFictions? [/quote] If I recall correctly he was also in 65daysoftstaic when they made one of my top 10 albums of all time, The Fall of Math: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kckkzdnGeWk[/media]

Got a lot of new stuff incoming, including another fuzz, so time to move this on: The enclosure has some imperfections from the acid-etching process but otherwise it's in excellent condition. No box but it will be wrapped in enough bubble wrap to carpet a small house. In the spirit of good karma, I'll let this go for what I paid, which thanks to a particularly sluggish eBay auction was [s][b]£90 posted special delivery[/b][/s]. [b]Sold pending the usual.[/b] Possibly interested in trades, but the only things I'm actively seeking are an expression pedal or a mastotron. Always interested in something interesting though, but please no Fuzz (that's not a mastotron), Dist, OD, Octaver, Filter, Phaser or Tremolo pedals, I'm currently set. Interested mainly in noise/bit crusher stuff, a delay, or something wacky.

It's been literally years since I bought a patch cable, what are we all using now? George L's seem to be very hard to get hold of and Lava's seem to only be sold in expensive kits. I just need a few but I don't have an idea of layout yet so I'd prefer to buy some cable and plugs and make them up myself. I'm looking at solderless because they seem to have the lowest profile connectors (I'm ideally looking for a George L sort of profile) but I spend most of my working day soldering so if anyone knows of any equal small solderable plugs that would be grand.
-
Oh dear. I've been on a bit of a shopping spree. Mastotron, Super Synth, Tremulus Lune and Meatwad all incoming. Anybody want to buy a lung?
-
Is it just single core or is it multicore with a stiff insulation?
-
Shin-ei in it's more permanent home: Not the neatest wiring job ever, and I'm definitely not an artist, but it works dagnabbit. Where do you all get that super stiff looking wire from, is it just single core? I experimented with varnishing the board (we use anti-tracking varnish at work) and I think I'll be doing it as standard from hence on, no more pissing about with insulation tape.
-
Behold what happens when you think you've got an enclosure that will do but don't check: Shin-Ei companion fuzz, circuit sounds great, although I had to get creative with some caps to get to the right values, should be good once I get an enclosure drilled out properly.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1390610544' post='2347664'] What are you using for drum programming, then..? [/quote] Just the Reaper MIDI editor, but I insist on adding flourishes and fills and variations everywhere, I don't really like 2 bars of drums to be identical, that's what swallows all the time. In case anyone's curiosity is piqued, here's my unfinished mess: https://soundcloud.com/bobbass4k/jan-comp-unfinished
-
It's not even close to finished unfortunately, needs 2 minutes worth of drums programming which equates to approximately 47 billion hours work in Reaper.
-
Bah, didn't get finished. I blame Justin Bieber.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1390605010' post='2347608'] It occurred to me last night that with the -2 octave oscillator in the Octavius Squeezer and the potential for 3 stacked Whammies in the M9 I could maybe drop my notes by a full 14 octaves if I wired them all in series. I don't suppose it would make much audible sound but I may well sh*t myself in the process. [/quote] I've done 10 octaves down when I had 2 whammies and an OC-2, even at the 24'th fret it made barely a rumble. I also tried various combinations of them all cancelling each other out, like 2 octaves up whammy into one octave down whammy into one octave down OC-2. Unsurprisingly, it sounded pretty crap.

Still available? -
[quote name='topheteatwo' timestamp='1389821554' post='2338393'] Hey guys I've ordered a pedal from America and I am incredibly impatient, I ordered it 9 days ago and I'm just wondering when I should expect it? Also, it was $227, should I be expected to pay import tax, some people say no, some people say yes, any ideas? [/quote] Where did you order it from? I ordered a pedal from MusicToyz once, never again.
