Current state of the pedalboard and the my new guitar. I've been wanting a 72 Deluxe Reissue since well before this blog ever started and for some reason I was just never able to scoop one up. This is a 60th anniversary Tele and the neck is perfection. Really digging how different it is from my Yamahas. Happy to have it in the arsenal.

Friend of the blog, Girih, has a video out here at https://bloody-disgusting.com/ 

Read more about it because this new record is going to be very sick. I’m loving it so far.

Bondi Effects has been going through their line up and refining and dialing them in and I’ve been obsessed with the new Sick As MK3.  Long story about why my clips aren’t present in this, but Braulio does some playing and shows it off a bit.  These new MK3 Sick As pedals are going live today and it absolutely is the best low-mid gain drive/boost I’ve ever used.

Where it all started for me. V1 and V2 Musket Fuzzes.

Sovtek Bassov Blues Boy // Mig100B

This amplifier had been on my bucket list to try for many years. Ever since seeing Evan Weiss’ beautifully wood wrapped unit when Tumblr was still booming and the gear scene was still young. 

I was ecstatic driving home from the McDonalds parking lot where I traded some unloved gear and a little cash for this hard-to-find cvlt amp worship head. I was, however, underwhelmed upon turning it on. 

My assumptions and my hopes were that it would sound similar to the Mig100u I had a handful of years ago, but with a hair more clean headroom. This was mostly true but with a very different tone stack. It lacked a lot of desired brightness and wasn’t very usable with my current configuration of gear as a guitar amplifier. It had been modded with a spring reverb tank but the implementation was so subtle that it might as well not really exist. Neat for what it is, I suppose. 

Shortly after getting this amp I picked up the Acoustic 106 2x15 and began running this as a bass amp. This is where it came to life (shocker, a bass amp sounded good on bass). It stayed very clean and was loud enough to rattle the hell out of my house and shake things off of my shelves. It stayed relatively clean when cranked with a nice wooly grind that was very easy to tame. I have some clips of this setup going live in a few days. I was pleased with how it functioned as a bass amp but the Solarus, while being less power, can hang right next to it and has some added brightness I prefer when playing bass. It just wasn’t the amp for me.  This Sovtek has been sold and will forever be another tally on my long list of amps I’ve owned, but it wasn’t without learning a bit before sending it on its way. While it was nice to check another amp off of my list... Nothing has yet to come between me and my Sunn Solarus. I love that amp so much that I almost bought a second recently.  We’ll see what challenger comes next.

Raffs through this fire breathing dragon of an amp. The Hex GT120 Festival Series. 

[fuckyeaheffectspedals]

I’ve had a couple opportunities to work with Spruce Effects now and this last release for the start of The Americana Series was definitely a cool one. The Acadia is the first pedal from this series of National Parks inspired pedals and they are among the prettiest pedals I’ve come across.  Gnarly fuzz, beautiful artwork, some extras and a fancy lunch box to boot. This time around I was just doing photo work for him, so I didn’t make a demo.

However, Demos in the Dark made an excellent demo so peep that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbK6bqfOw6c

If you’re not that aware of Spruce Effects and like dirt pedals, it’s 😩👌! This first pedal sold out already, but there will be more down the pipeline released in a similar fashion if this is the kind of thing that sparks joy for you. I know it does for me.

Hey new friends. Got an uptick and followers lately. I still check this blog pretty occasionally. If you want to share your pedalboards or ask questions feel free to submit or send me an ask!

A bit of an update from me... I’m rounding out college soon and I’ve been getting back into the swing of playing music and messing around with gear.  I recently got this new amplifier in a trade. It’s a custom Hex Electrics GT120 preamp married to a 1975 Peavey Festival Series Roadmaster power section and chassis. 

It’s really killer. Very different from the Sunn, but I really like the more pushed clean tone I can get from it for certain things. Who doesn’t like 200 watt 6550 power sections either? Haha. 

I’m gonna be getting back to a few videos soon, but if you don’t already follow me on IG peep me over there because I’m definitely more active there.  https://www.instagram.com/koreyfyep/
