JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE SHITTING THE BED

Post by $harkToootth »

I thought I became a sensible consumer... but then Perfect Circuit posted a video of Bobb Bruno (he didn't write the songs but he was responsible for 'the sound' of that first BEST COAST LP, which I adore) doing cool pedal combos.

I bought the EHX Tri Parallel Mixer... it was about time honestly, but he made it look so cool. This could be a fun thread though. Post times you thought you had this mental illness of G.A.S. under wraps, but you went full "fuck it" mode and got something.

This is the video by the way.

I've had a few instances of GASeous interruptus lately. I had convinced myself that I wanted the Ultrawave, but then the shop only had the bass version, which I know is functionally identical to the guitar version but it tweaked my mind enough for me to realize there was no way in hell I was going to be hunched over a pedal adjusting parameters on my phone. Now I have a sick gnawing deep within me, trying to tell me that I should own a guitar that isn't a broken Peavey, but so far my resistance is holding steady.

Sometimes gas leaves. You might even go in the back room for a quickee since she was leaving town. But she left her bra on the floor. You might think you're safe, but everyone else just knows she will be back again.

If you knew the situation I am referring to, you would be laughing just as hard as me with that lyric reference. Thank you. Oh my goodness so fitting.

But you didn't. So it's like you had the runs, but got out of bed, and unleashed the fury in the bathroom. You did good. No shitting the bed. The shit went right down the bowl where it needs to be.

It was a really close call.

Me and my buddy Clint had this idea that lighter fluid burnt pretty cold, so we waited until it got dark, draw a smiley face on the carpet and set it on fire. Problem was the carpet was cheap as fuck and made of nylon and it melted, so we had like this hard black plastic smiley in the middle of the carpet. We bought some paint roughly the same colour as the carpet and painted it, and an exacto knife, and chopped the plastic until it resembled carpet again.

I thought I could win best carpet destruction story, but damn dude. You did it. You crazy sonofabitch!

I genuinely didn't need a damn thing past what I have.

So what'd I do?

I had a custom dual treble booster made for my birthday..because I could.

Which led to buying a rackmount SDD-320 clone for the master channel of the studio live board (I have it already in the outboard gear in the mastering suite).....and then a Warm Audio Jet Phaser after fighting off getting one for a year.

What comes next?

Fuck if I know.

I haven't destroyed any carpet but I did pour gasoline on a futon and watch it and bunch of possessions burn, while playing...
