The room for tinkering with effects and amps is shaping up nicely too.

I'm spun back around to wanting analogue #musicEquipment & #effectsPedals.

Not because of that "vintage tone" all the classic rock guys cream corn themselves over. There is something special about the limitations, imperfections, and how it reacts. Yes, I'll conceed there.

Though, I stand by high quality digital when set up properly can technically sound better. That's not what #heavyMetal is about anyway, is it? I never got that memo.

What I like about #analogue gear has to do with the #RightToRepair. It's tangible components.

Plus, as a #LibreSoftware / #FreeSoftware enthusist, it seems wrong to intentionally have anything proprietary.

No more 10 year wait for "King of Tone" anymore, Analog Man has teamed up with Chase Bliss to take it to the next level.

In case you're looking for a new guitar effect, why not buy one from a European builder or manufacturer?

Can't we just rebrand effects pedals as 1/4 inch jack audio modular boxes?

A call to #pedal makers! As far as I know there’s no such thing as a pedal that takes a mic via XLR and gives you gain control and improves tone, maybe gives you reverb and that’s IT. Any vocal processing unit will do that, but they wanna focus on harmonies & pitch correction that I don’t want. ALL I want is the smallest pedal possible to give me gain and tone control, maybe a dash of reverb / delay. Please make that for me and I’ll buy one! #guitarpedals #effectspedals

THE FUZZTONES live: Sul palco i Fuzztones, gruppo storico garage rock statunitense, il cui nome è stato ispirato dall'effetto di distorsione fuzz tone appunto, inventato nel 1962 e che sentiamo sempre in Satisfaction dei Rolling Stones.

A new Fuzz pedal just landed that really feels like the "One Fuzz To Rule Them All. Cryptid Fuzz by Wampler Pedals. #guitar #effectspedals #fuzznuts

Swapped out some pedals in the stompbox bay of the Sallytron rack, including a Vox 1904 Wah from the early 80s. This was an old favourite in Raagnagrok setups, giving a rich purring tone. Also noteworthy here is the Line 6 Otto Filter, which was known within the Stellamarisdroneorchestra as the Gary Filter because with the correct settings dialled in it appeared to pronounce the word "gary" quite distinctly.

Maybe the holy grail of mod effects for me: fully analog but midi controllable

Thinking about #effectspedals today and specifically pedal design....I wish more pedals had a "soft" activation switch to turn them on/off like Boss has on theirs, rather than what you find on the majority of non-Boss pedals...I'm not crazy about the loud "click" (some are less egregious than others, granted). Thoughts? #gearsquad

Instagram knows me a little too well, lol! I need to have one of these shirts! #guitar #GuitarEffects #EffectsPedals #GearSquad

Today's studio innovation involved setting up a stompbox shelf on the Sallytron rack. I mean, I've got all of these fx pedals knocking around, so I might as well use them from time to time, right?

BTW: That's an Electro Harmonix HOG and a Line 6 Echo Park, wired into the FX return loop of the mixer.

This battered Boss DS-1 caught my attention. Asked the seller where it was made. Taiwan, so not the more sought after Japanese version. But the thing is, early Taiwanese versions were basically the same as their Japanese counterparts, up until 1994. Then Boss started using a dual opamp instead of the TA7136 IC which meant the design had to be changed.

So could this be an early Taiwanese version with the much desired Toshiba opamp?
