  1. But other than that, really not a lot.

    That's a lie, there's been a ton..but nothing presently in my head, so I'm taking solace in that.
  2. Guess who's just about to play with his Big Muff?

    Yeah, that sounded horribly wrong.

  4. I'm so jealous. So, so jealous. I want my full pedalboard in my room but it just doesn't fit in there at the moment.

    I got my Cry Baby in the mail the other day, so I played with that a bit. It has actually inspired me to write some solos, which is something I rarely do. I write spots for solos, but generally just improvise whatever feels good when we play live. These past couple songs have had solos.

    Perhaps I'll post some of the lyrics in the Songs thread, revive that up a bit.
  5. I'm lining up for a Crybaby next. £60 is very good for one so I'll be getting it soon.
  6. I had a Vox wah that I was really fond of, but it was sort of a pain because it didn't have a DC jack so I had to keep using batteries. The Cry Baby looks a little smoother on my board, I was looking to change the sound, and I walked away $10 richer on the swap. Easy decision.

    Still trying to find that sweet spot within the sweep but it'll happen.
  7. I'll get a Crybaby too withing the foreseeable future. Intend to mod it though.
  8. In what fashion?
  9. I'll need a delay after that but that's me for a while. I'll be getting a Fender Telecaster after Christmas and probably a new amp too - either a Marshall 100 watt or a Fender Deluxe. Only if I can justify the price.

  10. Well, maybe true bypass since I've heard it stucks quite a bit of tone. Then you can mod the sweep by moving the tab on the wheel inside. Then perhaps some resistor changes, stuff like that. Loads of stuff on it on the net.
  11. @Kieran: My recommendation that I've come to realize after failing with two amps in a row: buy something with tubes. Even if you're on a budget. You will absolutely get a warmer, more genuine sound, and don't worry so much about wattage. I'm looking at adding a 10W head to my rig due to its' tubes and overall tone, and even though it's quiet on its own, everything can always be mic'd.

    Just my two cents, obviously do whatever you please. I've been gigging with a Fender Mustang, something like 100W I want to say (though I could be way off- I upgraded from a 90W so I'm just assuming) and I'm disappointed in my decision.

    Modding the sweep actually sounds like an interesting project. I haven't noticed a loss in tone to be honest but if it's not true bypass, I guess you're technically losing something regardless. Experimenting with where in the chain I will put it will be fun too. Obviously towards the beginning, but putting it before/after a compressor can give you the boost you need to override the loss in volume, while still flavoring your end tone.
