ITT we can groan about the bad parts of being a musician.

I fucking hate how incestuous this city is with its shows. I also hate shows. I don't really have a lot of fun when I go to them, and it's such a fucking pain dealing with gear when we get booked. Did I mention how expensive shit is? Oh yeah let me bust out $10k of gear to play an opening slot on a Tuesday night at a shitty bar. Yeah right fuck off.

You should just do what i do and never leave your bedroom with a fancy reverb pedal and the same garbage licks you've been playing for years

We're working on new recordings at our practice space. Studios are too expensive. Also if you ever wanna talk pedals I'm down to show you my current board

Drives: a highly tweaked Dunwich Fuzzthrone or a Devi Ever Dark Drive clone

Modulation: Infinite Jets, or the Walrus Lore

hell yeah, i can't get enough fuzz. Current fave is a mossrite fuzzrite clone with a bass gain cut knob. Spaghetti Western for days

just ordered a walrus monument, I hear they make great stuff

just received a dark light from old blood noise endeavors. Absolutely bonkers dual reverb

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Those all sound sick! Walrus is pretty quality, yeah. You'll love them.

Still on the search for a boost overdrive. I've got a silvertone preamp for always on dirt, but I'm still looking for something that doesn't go completely nuts when i engage it. I'm a subtle yet tasteful gain enjoyer

Waiting on the klon clone from jhs

All my stuff is high gain. Maybe a Rat on low?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, the rat is something I've had on my radar for a bit. Just waiting for room in the budget!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

ok fine i just bought a joyo clone, I'll let you know how it goes

It could be 30+ celsius and outdoor event organizers will still not have water bottles off-stage. It's like 4 bucks for a case, come on.

I have never made a recording of my playing that I have been unequivocally happy with

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Everything I want is so expensive but I'm not even into expensive shit I'm into electronics idk how instrument fuckers do it. I guess going destitute is an option

[-] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Sometimes you can find good deals on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. The former is a little bit less scammy than the latter.

I've been looking into DIYing stuff like pedals, and trying to repair an old piece of shit guitar I bought like twenty years ago, but the neck is fucked and I can't find a decent neck for under $300, so I hear you.

Why in the fuck does a Mesa Bourgeois Dual Rectifier cost more than the trade-in value of my car?! Fucking Gibson ruins everything they touch, I swear.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Mesa costs have always been crazy to me.

Unfortunately I have the vintage British amp bug emilie-pain
