my two main pedals for distortion are the:
Blackstar Dual Distortion/preamp pedal. It sounds great and pushes the amp and has a good distorted sound overall. I like it because I can also plug straight in to the board in case of a catastrophe. This has happened before and it saved my ....ing...
honestly it all sounds very typical of Korea. Something happened because of something they did and the reaction is "NO! WE DIDNT DO IT! THEEEEYYYY DID IT! WE WOULD NEVER! HOW DARE YOU!?"
basically. they did it. The airline is upset beacuse Asiana crashed that plane in SFO a few weeks ago and...
it works for me. I watched a video on how Paul Gilbert gets away with it and Ive copied that idea. Im going to do it again on tuesday when I fly home for good.
my modified burns barracuda baritone ---> Rat Deucetone and few delays and a few reverbs----> VOX AC30 (or an Orange AD30)
ive gotten old. It used to be HOW MANY CHANNELS? I NEED MORE WATTAGE!! MORE MORE MORE MORE...now..that all just seems tiresome to think about.
K.I.S.S.
Keep it simple...
im sorry but who the .... cares about the Warped Tour since like 2002? They have just gotten ....ing worse and more commercial every year and are miles and miles away from what it used to be about.
fake backlines? WHO GIVES A SHIT?
there is such a thing as a "safe pit" its having some self awareness. What the shit is the point of ....ing someone up? and not taking it personally? seriously? Its not a UFC match, its a show. People were nice for taking care of that girl, but not the people who thought it was cool to bash her...
yknow, I dont really care about moshing when its just good natured kinetic fun. When people are sharing the energy of the atmosphere and they take care of each other in the pit. Sadly I see that less and less and less as the years go on. When I was first jumping in pits, it wasnt just guys...
Im a pretty tall guy, and I have pretty large hands with long fingers. Thin necks are ....ing murder on me. My go-to guitar is a Burns Barracuda that I have modified quite heavily and it has an enormous neck.......ing LOVE it.
one?
sighh....
music is not a contest, despite how some people approach it, remember to enjoy what you are doing and to never feel let down because you aren't as good as X, Y and Z. What you can or cant do makes you different and unique. Play, enjoy and always think about what you can create...
I think that passive pickup makers started making a pretty incredible variety of new contemporary options. Honestly. Look at the dimarzio, duncan, LACE and of course BKP roster these days....its impressive and commend them for listening to their customers and having the sense and courage to try...
Bridge: Clarity with body. This usually means I get a "vintage hot" pickup. They can usually get really aggressive if I want them to, but will still keep that nice bright clear vintagey sound.
