The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[odontophobia]

Nice. Those guitars are kind of neat. I know Skip used to have one that he enjoyed.

It is a bummer that Matt, the other guitarist in the band will be leaving soon once he starts tattooing full time. Really love playing with that dude. He's been my musical soulmate and it sucks that we won't be doing our thang together anymore. I really love the way we could play off of each other and layer stuff. Gonna be a one guitar band for a while and not fill his spot in the hopes that he will miss it so much that he will find a way to make time to play music again. In the meantime I gotta figure out how to get a looper working in my setup that doesn't compress to shit when I play thick ass fuzz. I've got a Jamman Solo and a Timefactor and they both sound like poop on the heavies. Cleans are fine. I'm gonna try to run a dual rig with the looper going to one amp only and see if that might help. I have no experience with that though so if you guys have any ideas I'm all for it. The one bright side of this though is that I'm buying Matt's Atlas 6x12 cab off of him so it will stay in the band. Dual Atlas rig will break my back, but it will also crush eardrums errywhere.

ya for the single piece of silver lining but that always sucks to loose someone you were so close with in jamming.

ditto 2 works for me, I run the amps pretty clean though.
Nick, that's awesom and I'm trying to convince both bands they need that in their lives. because, they do. The one knobs I just got are so damn good. Both just nailed the sound from the demos and I have not even really gotten to know the od yet, but the time I have played with it, there is not a bad sound. cant happen. You know how it is when you are trying to help someone get on the right path and make the correct play? that's kinda how I feel about getting more dunwich on flux boards.

Old van is sold, long live the new van. God speed you ugly bastard.

[ShaolinLambKiller]

hahah you should make that a band shirt.

That guitar is snazzy, SLK.

Sucks that Matt has to leave the band, Conkers - you guys had a solid thing going. Did he do the higher pitched screaming on the record, or what that someone else? The dual 6x12 will be monstrous though.

So this is headed to my house. Paid a little bit more than I wanted, but whatever, it was my birthday present to myself. Pretty pumped to try it out and finally have something with more than 15w in my life.

When you try to loop with a ton of fuzz or gain the loop usually ends up getting lost. I have a Ditto and this happens a lot but I use that to my advantage, kick a fuzz on and the loop basically disappears until another clean part.

I have tried to run the looper to only one amp of 2 and that does help. Makes it a bit easier to hear the loop as long as you have a clean enough amp to run the looper into. The ultimate would be a looper set up with a wet and dry out like old digital delays so you have both amps running unless a loop is playing. The loop would go to one amp and your dry signal would go to the other. Not sure why no one has built a looper pedal like that yet.

I do this currently (although playing to it is a chore) and the second amp helps immensely. I run mine after a stereo split and adjust the output with my foot as best I can. Running distortion after the looper might work better in some respects, but then I'd lose out on looping a lot of other sounds separately. Even with the volume of the looper maxed, dirt pedals before it tend to mask it. At least I can adjust the looping amp separately from my regular amp.

If you had any dirt pedals laying around, you could even run an extra after the looper. That might alleviate some of the over-compression issues, since it'd be more like running a clean guitar into distortion.

Fuck yes.
Got my Silicon Fuzz on Friday.
Had to unpack all my gear (we are in the middle of moving) and set it up for about 20 minutes of play, but it was so worth it.
My son came in and tried to play along with some harmonica.
Not quite The Wizard yet, but he's already moving in the right direction.

Also, Mr. summit, you will be pleased to know that I pulled my cheapo celestions out of my Laney cab and put those Sheffields in. FINALLY.
Gonna get some WGS 75s to finish that out.

Moving bros, I feel your pain.

It's late. I'm drunk. Not responding to other posts, just putting this out as an emergency post of sorts. And of you northwest folks that still have a chance to see dispirit on this current tour, you have to go. I can't believe how amazing they are. If you miss it you will miss one of the great underground metal experiences of our time. Soooo good. Please go. Here's a link to the dates. https://m.facebook.com/Dispirit/posts/870349309692117

Sadness. But dual fucking 6x12's is my dream rig, so fuck you for rocking that awesomeness.

Yes, dude. So much yes.

[Bad-Samaritan]

Goddamn that earth is seeeeeick. Just found out we get a gatefold lp press coming out later this year. So stoked.

[AxAxSxS]

thanks for the heads up Parker, show today, but I'll try to get to the Oly one.

[ShaolinLambKiller]

Nice trey!

[t-rey]

Jesus, I have no idea why that pic posted so big - edited the post to fix that.

But yeah, very excited to try it out. I've never tried out any of the old solid state stuff, seemed like the right time.
