    New Mad Professor pedal. This is a lot like EHX did with the Canyon (delay) and Ocean's 11 (reverb), except this is a do-it-all modulation pedal. Chorus 1: Sounds like a classic analog type chorus to me. Chorus 2: I can't decide if this sounds like a Uni Vibe or a shimmery modern chorus. Would need to hear it slowed down. Chorus 3: Sounds like a Uni Vibe And I guess the "dual choruses" blend 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 1 and 3. Flanger 1: more classic Flanger 2: more modern Dual Flanger: I don't know but it sounds badass Flanger Chorus: meh Vibrato: Can't tell if I like because I only have like 2 vibrato sweet spots I use The wet/dry tone knob is pretty sweet.

    Remember when Obama retweeted retarded half-baked 4chan memes about his political adversaries? I'm surprised he didn't get crucified for that.

    The neurosyphillis and genetically-inherited Alzheimer's/dementia is fiercely eating his brain at this point. Unfortunately, Fred Trump live to be 93 so Donald has the long life genes. Good times.

    We're all just extras in Chauncey Gardiner's reality show.

    This seems like a good ass deal. I'd pounce on it had I not just bought an amp. $850 (max b/c he accepts offers) and free shipping. Also, the dude's in Austin so you could do a local pickup if you live there or nearby. https://reverb.com/item/4427386-fulton-webb-boutique-guitar-amp-black-black

    This is the full manual, which I don't think is included in the package. (It wasn't in mine). http://www.wamplerpedals.com/support/download/send/3-current-lineup/50-manual-ego-compressor-2016 That muted effect is your acoustic's dynamic range getting compressed. (That's why MXR called their compressor, which was one of the first, the "Dyna Comp"). Try dialing back the attack and cranking up the sustain. That's unusual the compressor is giving you a "muted" effect. Usually, it's just the opposite and they make everything louder, especially compressors like the old Keeley that had no volume knob. Another tactic might be diming your volume knob or setting it really high, and then using the sustain knob to adjust your volume/output. If you can't get to a happy place with the thing, call or e-mail Wampler. That outfit has gotten big and I would suspect king tone nerd Brian Wampler has a stable of nerds on hand to help customers.

    Now I want a Nashville style Tele with all bridge pickups. And fuck it, make 'em ALL super hot ones like Fralin High Output Bridges or Rio Grande Dirty Harry Bridges. Make the chicks feel it in their bikini area.

    Was just about to mention that. For 100% accuracy, this is the way to go. Keith really hacks his chords and removing the low E string removes all possibility of hitting that sour note. Even when the low E is dropped to D, it is problematic. I'm guessing Keith did this to make his Tele drunk-proof when he does that I-IV hammer on/pull off.

    Reminds me of this other totally innocent guy who sold autographs to pay his lawyers' massive fees.

    WHERE ARE ALL THE NAMM 2019 PREVIEWS!?! I need my fix dammit. In the meantime, this shit is cool AF. It's not much bigger than an accutronics reverb tank (which it basically contains inside it). The new version (beneath the video clip) is just small enough to fit on a Pedaltrain Classic Jr. (18"). But it would take up an entire row. This is the newer version, which does away with tolex nonsense and is just contained in a metal case like your average MXR, EHX, Wampler, Keeley, Earthquaker, Fulltone, etc. pedal. It's $100 cheaper. I fucking hate a digital-processory fake ass computer sounding reverb. Catalinbread, ElectroHarmonix, and BOSS can fake it pretty well though. (Unfortunately BOSS discontinued the amazing Fender '63 Reverb pedal). I would be interested in doing a side by side test of this thing, the Catalinbread Topanga, and a Fender reverb unit.

    The ghosts of Vince Foster, Seth Rich, and about 30-40 others would like a word with you.

    Kind of like a spiritual sequel. It didn't have anything to do with Bush and Iraq. It's about how Trump got elected (on November 9, 2016) and the aftermath. I only watched maybe the first 15 minutes.

    I watched some of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9 last night and I'd forgotten just how bananas the media was in covering Hillary's fucking dumb e-mails. The movie had a clip with her and Charlie Rose where Rose referred to the scandal as "the e-mail crisis." He also grilled her to explain why the e-mail "crisis" was not disqualifying. "Crisis." "Disqualifying." The e-mail scandal. Excuse me but I need just a moment. In hindsight and after 2 years of Trump, it is beyond insane how the media handled the shit.

    My tele's neck pickup is loose, yeah. For the orange guard one I'm going to drill some holes next to the neck pickup opening. It won't need to be a super clean job because the heads of the screws will cover the edges of the holes. Most pickguards have the holes though.The vintage white one I ordered and am using now has them. I just wanted this orange one so bad I figured I'd improvise.
  21. Grandioso
    This is the orange one I got for $7.99.

    ^ I want a blackout strat like that but with a black headstock and ebony neck. The Gilmour thing (all black body, solid maple neck) is cool AF though. That mirror pickguard on the tele is sweet too. I just ordered a white and an orange pickguard pickguard for my tele and they're both great. You can order the shit directly from China on Amazon and they're about 1/3rd to 1/4th the cost of ones sold by Fender and "big" brands (who are buying the damn things from China anyways!). Fender "White Pearl": $36.99 Musiclily "Parchment Pearl": $9.44

    Looking at the AFI Top 100 Lawrence of Arabia Singin' in the Rain All About Eve The African Queen It Happened One Night Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (I'm probably way wrong on this one)

    The DACA shit is so fucked up. It should have been extended rubber stamp-no brainer style with essentially zero debate or controversy. When you actually learn about DACA and see how much of a rigid bureaucratic clusterfuck it is, it makes you admire the fuck out of the young people actually going through it. They have do jump through so many hoops and walk the straight and narrow. From USCIS website: In addition to all that, you have to check in and show your progress and good standing like you're a felon reporting to your parole officer. Notably, one of the criteria can be satisifed by BEING A VETERAN WHO WAS WILLING TO FIGHT AND DIE FOR THE COUNTRY WHOSE INSANE PRESIDENT USES YOU AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT BARGAINING CHIP AND WOULD JUST AS SOON DEPORT YOU. I would guess the worst DACA eligible person in this country is more impressive and 10x more American than your average deplorable.
