The venue typically do rock stuff, but everyone seemed to dig what we do and we sold some merch etc. We are already talking about doing Europe again next year so watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxxwj Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 [quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1349536528' post='1827490'] More pedal mayhem... [url="http://www.sheponbass.co.uk/blog/interview-benjamin-hinzdwarfcraft-devices.html"]Shep on Bass - Interview: Benjamin Hinz/Dwarfcraft Devices[/url] Ben (or Benjamin) also uses the name Aen amongst others. When asked which name should be used here he simply replied, "I am known by many names, and all of these are false!" Ben is the man behind Dwarfcraft Devices, a company making a serious name in creating some of the noisiest and most 'off-the-wall' effects pedals in the world. Dwarfcraft's dirt and synthy/glitch devices have been finding homes on more and more artist's pedal boards than you can shake a stick at and once you hear some of the toys on offer it's easy to see why!

pantherairsoft Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Time for another one! PLEASE BE AWARE - MY WEBSITE IS NOW CLOSED. THE INTERVIEWS CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE -> [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/sheponbass"]http://simonpoulton.....com/sheponbass[/url] I'm excited to present to you, Mr. Josh Newton, a bass heavy weight, having played for more bands on the US rock and metal scene than I can keep track of. While his bass career covers the far corners of the rock, metal and prog' genres, there is one characteristic always present in Josh's tone, one thing that makes you think 'that sounds like Newton!' - Dirt... A s**t load of dirt! Josh is also a self-confessed gear nerd who loves to experiment with pedals and talk about gear. To date he is the only person I've interviewed that has insisted on me asking more questions. So, after some discussion & back-and-forth questioning, here is what Josh has to say about his gear, his tone and his love of effects.

THE INTERVIEWS CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE -> [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/sheponbass"]http://simonpoulton.....com/sheponbass[/url] Much has changed with Ant's set up since my interview with him all those months ago. His band, Castrovalva, are going from strength to strength and interest in his setup has become great. With all that gigging and all his gear getting put through it's paces night after night something was sure to change! Ant was cool enough to spend a few minute discussing those changes...

pantherairsoft Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks dudes!!! A little different this time... It was me being interviewed!? PLEASE BE AWARE - MY WEBSITE IS NOW CLOSED. THE INTERVIEWS CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE -> [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/sheponbass"]http://simonpoulton.....com/sheponbass[/url] Steven Taylor (better known around these parts as Tayste_2000) of Our Innocence Lost is a fellow online forum user, blogger and a great musician. I was keen to interview Ste about his love of pedals and to quiz him on why he now uses a much reduced set up with his band. During these conversations he flipped the whole thing on it'd head and threw a pile of questions at me. While you wait for my interview with Ste, check out what I had to say...
