the Tim guy? the Klon guy?

I was thinking Klonman - maybe I should...ask Chank?

Anybody here into Longhorns? This seems pricy, but I really like this Hondo:

The last Hondo I saw was around $400, but I'm surprised there are a few out there for $800!? Original longhorns are also going for like $2/3k and more easily, so I guess this is growing up

Klonman was definitely in my mind when I read that article, but thee League Of Legends are filled with goop

There's a golden retriever named Cooper staying at my house, but I haven't had the time to plug into my Outward and GenLoss to see if I can get a reaction out of him....

Hondos are hella dodgy quality-wise, $850 is nuts. A few hundo more and some diligence could get you a Jerry Jones, which are as nice as it gets.

I once almost bought a Hondo copy of a Coral Firefly. Kickin' myself since. Don't think I've ever seen another.

Klonman it likely is. I don't think the Timmy has goop in it.

[Dandolin]

thanks Chank

Coral Firefly's're nice

Hondo used to be a name to kick mud on - now they seem pretty nice, well, Hondo IIs especially....
They do a pretty nice looking copy of the Howard Roberts Fusion (I hear they're heavy, though)
That's all what I got about Hondo

[dubkitty]

someone made a Klon clone (see what i did there?) called the Klonopin, which i thought was pretty amusing.

[Dandolin]

had to happen

So.. I'm almost at the point of putting together the real pedalboard for my new setup.. It's Time to ditch the pedaltrain..

Here is my issue... do I have another board case made to the size/layout I am working on or just say screw it and use one I already have that is on the big side... [20"x41"] even if I have scrunched the setup into the pt pro size [16"x32"] with a small satellite 7"x9" looper board... so a real big board I already have or 2 new boards that will look cooler

[coldbrightsunlight]

How important is looking cool?

I think I'd probably go with the too big one unless it's a big problem loading/unloading at gigs or whatever. (remember gigs?)

[dubkitty]

conversely, i'd go with two boards for the simple reason that if one fucks up the other will still work. it would save a lot of troubleshooting. one board works by itself? well, then the problem is in the other one! not to mention that you may want to use the non-looping stuff for situations where the looping stuff would be superfluous.

Yeah.. I was looking at getting a new one and then realized I had that board I'm leaning that way...

(remember gigs?)

Yeah.. for me it's a double suckfest... because right before the virus happened the front person in by band died of cancer... still the drummer and I are still going to do music together and if shows are ever allowed again we well soldier on, hence the still working on a live rig...[maybe if only to keep my sanity]

See yeah.. but I might put 2 in the big one just for moving around and still be able to pop out the looper board and put it places

[coldbrightsunlight]

Oh I'm sorry that sucks.

Yeah two of my bands were planning to seriously start trying to book gigs this year. Feels unlikely in the near future but I definitely get the urge to work on a live rig!
