Blastronaut 1333 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I totally agree, a lot of their stuff is great. This is actually a good fuzz too which is why this one pissed me off so much. It's a Mk2 Tonebender with a low pass filter tacked on. And as if that isn't bad enough, notice how they don't mention if it's Silicon or Germanium. See if you can guess!

Tom 14011 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 I had a Data Corrupter and it was absolutely fucking mental to the point it was borderline unusable. Fun for a while but I had to get rid. Their delays/modular/reverb stuff is appealing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1333 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I love some of that uncontrollable glitchy stuff. Imagine themadness you could conjure up with just a blue box and a Clari(not). Ive used the data corrupter but their disaster transport is a pretty cool delay and not all that hard to tame despite its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3342 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I’ve got this great fuzz made by Reuss based on a pedal Rowland S Howard use to use. It’s got two fuzz options, a great sounding fuzz and this out of control noise. https://www.reusseffects.com/products/rsh03 It probably ticks all Blast’s trigger words and the cost of them now is ridiculous, I got mine when they were a start up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1333 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 @sammynb actually after a quick glance over the link I like this guy. Its a lot of words for "I put a blue box and a dist+ in the same pedal" but at least he's telling it like is, rather than the usual "let's imply stuff without actually saying it" nonsense from the EQD link.

Blastronaut 1333 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Actually, huge respect to this builder/company. Radically Transparent Marketing. Names and describes the Blue Box mods and tells folk upfront to expect "glitchy Octave tracking and poor gating". I'm down with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3342 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The other good thing about Reuss is every so often they try to do a cheap chinese made version of certain pedals that they guarantee are all but identical, so I’ve also have a cheaper version of the rsh03 if I ever play live again.

Blastronaut 1333 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Ah fuck. Well there goes my long game sales pitch. Well if both of those happen to fail and you cant get a reasonably priced replacement you know where to find me. In all seriousness though, I know bugger all about them but they've earned my trust after reading that link. Either they're incredibly honest and really good at what they do or they're just wary (weary?) of miserable cunts like me calling them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say a bit of both tbh as people like RSH’s estate and JP Shilo don’t have much regard for wankers and shysters. And don’t worry I know exactly how to get in touch when need requires. I’m doing an update of my board atm but I’ll be posting pics soon complete with the toon overdrive (sounds like a yacht rock band)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1333 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Nice one. Good to hear it at least getting put to use and not just resigned to being an ornament. Honestly got no idea what a Yacht Rock is though. Sounds like a sub-genre I'd give a wide berth. But each to their own (whatever floats yer boat?).

Andrew 4713 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Judging by my youtube feed I would say that the video embargo on the Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster has lifted today. I've played one of the Teles and actually really liked it tbf, they're weird but good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floating trem, TV Jones pickups but in black and not reliced. Just got to workout how to pay for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 @Andrew How did you find that Squier Contemporary series that you had? Looking at the floyd rose strats and they look insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the floyd rose strats and they look insane. I still have it, its brilliant. Ive upgraded the pickups to some dimarzio illuminators but the original ones were pwrfectly good really, it plays so well. I cant recommend them enough.

Tom 14011 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 They’re not available right now but I may pull the trigger in a few weeks when they are. A roasted maple neck on a Squier is quite a boast, also is a proper floyd rose. Plus like Andrew has done, you can easy upgrade the pick ups.

Andrew 4713 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 So as Tom has already seen I now own some drums too! @Ayatollah Hermione Youre the only drummer I know of on here, any advice on finding learning resources and that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i learned how to play the drums by being drafted into a blues band and had to busk my way through most of Morrison Hotel so my advice is to do the opposite of that. I’ll have some proper advice when I wake up tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1333 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 There's not much info on the website but given the size of the enclosure and the controls it's likely a belton-brick based reverb, probably a Box of Hall. Honestly though In all seriousness I'd be tempted to buy one just for the art and the free t-shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
