EU McSpunckle TOURBOX 2012

[phantasmagorovich]

Fine, I took the chance of going to the post office and just ask. Turns out it was there all along while the tracking info was "to be redelivered" and no notice in my mailbox. Assholes.


BUT my amplifier broke down and is at the tech. I would like to keep them until wednesday, on tuesday I get to play my other amp in the practice room in the next town. Right now I don't see any other way to check out how these sound.

Sorry for causing so much trouble dudes.

[DarkAxel]

frankly... what use would it be if you couldn't try em out?

[Haki]

Agreed, that also means you could send them to DarkAxel as was intended since the pedals wouldn't arrive before the festival is over.

[Adoom]

Firstly, get well soon Mika.

Secondly, I am a-okay with any way ye want this to play.

[phantasmagorovich]

Picked up the amp from the tech today (it was just the fuse, goddamn!) and managed to play a tiny bit. So many knobs on that Gnome, it makes me go crazy. But, it was all pretty great sounds. Got some nice oscillation/gate/volume knob shenanigans. I have not been able to recreate any sound I found yet, but that might just be because all of this was very much happenstance. Or accurately Happenstein.

Here's a recording of my favourite setting on the gnome. If any of you guys want to check if it works for you as well, I'll include notes about the setting in the box.



Been having lots of fun with this, although the VTF is really nuts.

[DarkAxel]

So, here I am, causing trouble again

due to one of my fillings falling out, i need to have an urgent dentist appointment the soonest possible. I have a really bad experience with that happening, so i hope you understand. bad thing is, the soonest i can do it is the week i was supposed to get the Tourbox... either i'd have it for one day and then have to leave to my hometown and shit etc etc, some holidays coming up... blah blah... or - as i just arranged with Bassus - i could get it after everyone else directly from Bassus

so.... Haki? sorry to disturb you again... could you be the next one, please?

i know, i'm really terrible... i'm sorry, guys

[Bassus Sanguinis]

^yeah

We all know how working with time lines is, so I hope we can keep the box rocking' and a rollin' all tour long. Preferably, without too many delays, because that can always fuck up bad other guys schedules.

But getting to play for just one day doesn't sound nice, not at all what I hoped for You guys In such cases I hope peeps can relate and ask around if they can have an extra day, without causing the next guy too much grief.

[phantasmagorovich]

I'll get it on the way to his Hak-ness tomorrow. Sad to see these go.

[Bassus Sanguinis]

I'll get it on the way to his Hak-ness tomorrow. Sad to see these go.

I can imagine. And You guys have had some rotten luck lately. I wish You had at least a brief eargasm... and perhaps, perhaps we can work something nice after the official tourbox is finished. How does that sound to You?

[Haki]

That sounds like a sales pitch.

I'm not complaining about being next in line at all.

[phantasmagorovich]

Went to the Post Office today, the box is under way!

[Haki]

Got to play with the little lovelies today. The And Aardvarks is a pretty cute overdrive, I like it after the Gnomes so you can reel them in a bit. Definitely a bargain if you pick one up at B/S/T prices. The Br00tz Gnome is just that, br00tz. If you're short on time then it's much preferred to the VTF as it's a bit faster to dial in. My first thought when I saw the VTF? NEEDz MOAR KNOBZZZ! It does get all kinds of crazy. I really like the Gate knob, it should be expression pedal controllable, dialing it in and out on the fly for more wackiness.

So does this go to Tophatville, Czech Republic tomorrow or is DarkAxel now the last stop?

[DarkAxel]

I should be the last stop

[Adoom]

I'm not sure when I am, are the lists changing again? I'm in the next couple weeks i think anyway. Oh, excitement.

With all the ridiculous shit going on this end it'll be nice to have something to play with.
