Remember to celebrate 420, go Campo!!

er, adolescent...

And, no, I hadn't noticed S/C, but now I have, is it with their embed coding?

It was videos of the A/B Synth that set me off on my current fuzz quest, haven't got one of the Fuzzhugger though, but have a bespoke Oscillator Fuzz being constructed. Is that one all super-cool etched and shit?

Is this old? it might be old

This is my favourite bit... " He’d assembled two new bands for the record — one of them all women, the other all men. He was taking both on tour, but only one would perform each night. He wasn’t announcing which until the morning of the show — even the bands would be surprised. He’d barred them from listening to each other, because he wanted them to evolve separately." Hell, as long as you can afford to pay them both, it might keep them more artistically hungry.

Grease Beast by Optoplan, the House Resident band at Kia-Aura, still one of the best nights the damn city ever had.

I do, one is even decent, I'm putting the very best one on my Soundcloud as I type, so I'll linky.

Harmonia & Eno 76- 'Tracks and Traces remixed', quite nice, though not as good as the primary source. Bought in One Up for old times sakes.

Got some A.K.A. the Fox, drum machine and drummer eras, about 8 tracks that are acceptable.

Like what I saw of the Austin thing so far.

More of a crap camera-phone blog just now...Mondragon Mumblr, with added music.

Gotta love the old Kramers, I had a cheapo ply Striker, good when I put an EMG in. And that switch says Oscillation, so it probably does crazy offerings to the godz, I'd say there is no way that buying that could be a bad idea.

C Can't go wrong, might have a wee wait, but all good. CC

This dude here, Hello Sailor Effects, same dude did both pedals, I stumbled over it by mistake in E Bay, just searching for "fuzz", there are wax capacitors from the 40s in the fuzz, as it said in his advert blurb, it only has an output level knob, it gets fuzzier the hotter the signal you send it, I've not done any fuzz demos as such, but it is all over the most recent stuff I've done (linky in sig). The fuzz was going for £39, that's what i paid for it, I ended up getting Gun Face for £20 + £20 p&p (solid brass), his original sale fell through, so got offered a bargain. Even though I have accidentally fried the boost circuit Gun Face is a v classy mild distortion, fed into the fuzz, it is quite thick and wild and capable of flutey infinite sustain AND stage style feedback at home levels. They are fucking ace, and the dude is in the middle of making me an Oscillator Fuzz type thing,( Mondragon's Trichometric F*U*Z*Z*, ahem), in a blue housing with orange LED, will post pics when I get it. He seems happy to take orders via FB, honestly can't recommend enough, if some famous dude used his stuff he could charge silly money. He is in the Navy, and does it p/t so might take a wee while, but worth it.

The green one is my point-to-point hand wired boutique fuzz with old mil-spec components, the other one is the same but a distortion, and a (now malfunctioning) boost, built in to the arse end of an old artillery shell

Crappy photo from my crappy phone, still awaiting new custom fuzz.

iPad dock, might have vibed on it otherwise, prefer the look of the Kitara

TeleMaster/Jagucaster! ace

Oh fuck aye min! weird stereo mixing on Blackboard Jungle though

The Internet- Purple Naked Ladies, most of it is quality.

Did you put a black plate on it and use it as your avatar, looks nice if so.

Historical Awesomeness 1- Aberdeen had 2 universities when the whole of England also only had 2. Historical Awesomeness 2- There are no Viking sites anywhere near the North East, despite it being closest to the bittie far they came fae. Historical Conclusion- Aberdeen is and was full of fuckers that are smarter AND harder than everywhere else. Living in the West End of Glaswegia is alright, but it is full of divs. The rest of it though, fuck's sake, oocha min, etc.

Well done, but where is the Thunderfuck!!?

And, pathetically, it isn't even for me, but the michty Bison seem to be getting beaten by some bunch of kids, who are probably weegies or something, and definitely smell funny. They have got to the begging stage, so you could probably extract favours or something if you click like on Ali Taff Barbers post stating Bison (UK), sigh... FB linky
