The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[LOCOPELAND]

All the yes regarding Herder. Those guys rule hard

[Kacey Y]

I'm listening to that Herder album "Horror Vacui" right now, killer.

Sell my 50 watt or 100 watt AOR?

Originally, I was going to keep my 50 because I thought the 100 was much noisier, but when I got the AOR channel on the 50 fixed it turns out to be as noisy as the 100.

50 watt - tubes cook earlier, slightly less volume, theoretically more gain but less headroom, and allegedly a lower bass output

100 watt - costs more to retube, a bit heavier to carry, feels + is louder, more headroom, can give more power to two cabs, more bass power, possibly a bit noisier due to higher volume

Do you plan on eventually joining a band and playing out (keep the 100) or do you mainly just play for fun while focusing on school (keep the 50)?

[CaptainBoxman]

Yes

[Ancient Astronaught]

Oh geez.....

well then....

Sell the 50.

It's better to have the watts and not need them than to eventually need the watts and not have them.

[CaptainBoxman]

Hmm, I seem to have solved the high noise on the 100w by swapping out the preamp tubes

Looks like I'll be losing the 50

EDIT - Nope, not that solved

Pop quiz hotshots...what's a really gross sounding distortion pedal? Preferably not one that sounds super smooth and scooped, since I've got a tone of stuff that pulls that off. Looking for something kind of unique and nasty sounding, preferably cheap.

not to spam but i have a bitcrusher for sale in bst? idiotbox ray gun. it does nasty as fuck pretty well. or maybe something with an octave up?

Death Ray*

I used to own that death ray. This is what you want.

Or a Buzzz but its not cheap.

[D.o.S.]

I played the deathray when the first Idiotbox Tourbox came through ILF. It does exactly the adjectives you're describing. You should snag it.

+1 to all of those things, but I still maintain that the WMD Geiger Counter is one of the raunchiest things ever. Seen the civilian issues going used for around $120-130, but that's not exactly cheap. Ibanez FZ7? Splatty octave fuzz?

[Kacey Y]

I should clarify, I meant of the non-fuzz and specifically distortion variety. I'm stocked up on dirty fuzzes. Looking for something cheap and nasty to blow some spare cash on.

[t-rey]

Come on man.... let me just get like a joyo off you or something!!! I'll settle for an EHX just come on man.... I NEED MY FIX!



Behringer?!?! ANYTHING!!!!

So much accuracy
