Also, I know some of you dig Lord Mantis and Today Is The Day... are they worth checking out live?

I don't care about Today is the Day but I think that the Lord Mantis album from this year is damn near one of my favorite records of the year. It's heavy and weird in all the right places. It doesn't DOOM but it is heavy as fuck. Fast and slow. And weird. Some synth and some vocoder in there. Was listening to it while mowing the lawn and there's one track with some really awesome bit reduction on some drum hits (or maybe some drum machine triggers -- either way its totally awesome).

I'm really bummed that tour isn't hitting Michigan. I don't think my wife would really be into Lord Mantis and the trip to Chicago probably isn't worth it to her.

Fess up Brits, whose spawn is this?

All this talk about downsizing makes me want to buy more gear

Any ampless folks who can, are welcome to come by and plug into my rig.

Yeah -- I was watching this kid's reviews last year. So gnarly.

its ridiculous how happy I am with my Superbass...tonight whilst rehearsing i worked out a way that I don't even need to use my neck pickup anymore.

I'd always used the neck pickup on acoustic parts to remove the harshness of the high strings, and switch back to bridge for distortion so it would cut a bit more. Tonight I EQ'd the super bass with a little less treble and more bass on my cleans, so on the bridge pickup the clean tone was exactly what i wanted...then i dropped the bass and increased the mids and treble on the QM pedal. Now I just stay on the bridge pickup and my two main tones are taken care of...

It all sounds a bit trivial...but I had never been able to get a clean sound out of any amp that could substitute the neck pickup...If I tried, i usually got a lifeless tone that almost had no treble and was lost. But with this amp, it just works.

did I say before...I love this amp!

Also...BlackArts are redoing the Ritual pedal in custom colours...I had a chat to him about one and he gave me an option to choose a custom colour...but being the bitch that I am, I couldn't decide on one, so I gave him three different ideas...so his going to pick one and surprise me...cant wait to get a Ritual again and run it through my beast...so stupid for selling that pedal when I had it before.

I know ALL these feels. Just invested in a Joyo OCD, because the circuit is just a little more sensitive than a rat with a similar fuzziness. So now I have a loud cleanish sound, a heavy boost and woolly fuzz. I didn't realize how nice it would be to have dirt options! To not have to think real hard about where I sit in a mix is nice, especially when I can't borrow extra cabs.

Speaking of which, anyone have comments on G12T75s? Been looking at those Ampeg cabs that crop up used that came stock with them.
