  1. Sorry for taking soooo long to get back to your question. I was away for the weekend. Math rock is sort of a sub-genre of indie rock with a lot of complex riffs and odd time signatures (hence math rock). It can be but isn't always harsh and noisy. Bands to check out would be Slint, Shellac, Battles, Oxes, Don Caballero, LITE from Japan to name a few. Hardcore bands with a math rock element include Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch and Converge. Maybe check out wikipedia for a better explanation.
  2. My girlfriend has dissuaded me from selling for the time being. She says it has character and that they don't make pedals as awesome as that any more. ...and she's right. I never that I'd actually hear her encouraging me not to get rid of a pedal! So I'm going to keep it at and wait to buy a supercollider as well.

I wouldn't get a cherry pop to replace a muff as they are different, but the cherry pop is defintley usable, it's got a high end sizzle that cuts through the mix, wheras a muff tends to cut you out of the mix[/quote] Re: Umph - No, the slow tempos slow down my metabolism and brain and make me lazy...I am carrying around a couple of other pedals too so it all adds up. I get to play doom through whatever crappy amp the practice space I use has available - usually an ashdown or peavey, which suck! I would only use a markbass with my 15-string fretless in highly endangered Bubinga and purple wenge with an LED fretboard. (jk) Like yr band btw. Re BobBass4k- Cherry Pop prolly isn't what I'd want then. It's hard to tell fuzz sounds from youtube. I think hyperion is the DE pedal I'd be after. You're giving me second thoughts about getting rid of the muff now! My band isn't strictly doom. We're all over the place at the moment...math rock, stoner, free noise + the doom. I don't think we're exactly sure what we want do yet.
  4. So it wouldn't neccesarily be good for stoner/doom type sound? That's what I'm going for. Supercollider would be ideal I think. My issue with the Muff is that it's seriously big and heavy (physically as well as sonically ) and I'm getting sick of carrying it around with me to practice and I want something a bit more compact for my pedal board, which I plan to put together soon. [quote name='bobbass4k' post='568285' date='Aug 13 2009, 06:47 PM']It's not a muff clone, it's a very high gain silicon fuzz, kind of biting/searing crunch, got that lovely spluttery devi decay, but it doesn't like active basses[/quote]
  5. [quote name='bobbass4k' post='568253' date='Aug 13 2009, 06:21 PM']Interested in a trade for a Devi Ever Cherry Pop?[/quote] Yes, I probably would be. How does it compare to the Devi Ever Hyperion?
  6. Sorry, decided not to sell. I'm still interested in getting an earthbound supercollider though.

    Hi all

    Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've been playing off and on for about 10 years now (even though I still suck). I'm into playing math rock, stoner, post-rock, some metal, some hardcore, noise etc. Right now I'm playing an Epiphone T-Bird through a Blackstar HT-5 guitar combo at home. Also have an MIA Fender J-Bass which is marooned at my parents house in the USA -Ian (London)
