ILF Secret Santa 2015 - No gift yet? Email me!

[terminalvertigo]

got an email that mine gift should be arrving today!

Skipped the spoilers in the email, will have pics later!

PICS:


Box Arrived. Moment of truth activated!

Alright, down to business.. Step 1, get at the goodies! they are rum balls w/ pecans, dark spiced rum, semi-sweet chocolate, sugar, corn syrup, and Nabisco Nilla Wafers. and yeah, they are fucking wincest

As i chewed through a few of these, I started on the other gifts! check out that ILF wrapping paper! too rad!

So we've got a sweet packs of 11's, and two sexy ass mofo pedals in my favourite flavours! fuzz and phaser!


Whisky is a Jordan Bosstone-based fuzz, with some Paul Trombetta Devices (PTD) tricks largely extracted from the J Rockett WTF that Trombetta designed for them. "Oak" is a voltage sag control, which loosens the feel, furs up the texture, and closer to cranked gives access to the faux trombone sounds that the PTD stuff can deliver and general sub octave mayhem. sounds crazy!

The Spins is a clone of the out-of-production Lovetone Doppelganger phaser/vibrato, built on circuit boards made available to DIY-ers by Gigahearts_fx. This guy is all kinds of cool, dual LFO's aimed right at your dome, giving me the spins!


Big ups to Mr Fission! you killed it this year brother! many thanks!

Can't wait to find out who my victim is going to be!

[kbit]

ARE THOSE CHOCOLATE MEATBALL COOKIES?
THAT IS THE BEST WRAPPING PAPER.
THOSE PEDALS LOOK SUPER RAD.

FUCK.

[Iommic Pope]

Plot thickener: add 1 measure.

Big ups to Mr Fission! you killed it this year brother! many thanks!

Can't wait to find out who my victim is going to be!

Hey, glad you like the goodies and happy to bring you into the fold! Now I get to stop worrying about the outgoing package and speculating about what could be coming my way.

And fingers crossed for the raffle, but, hey, that whole project is just , so it's gonna be awesome whoever wins!

[Iommic Pope]

Yeah I'm still on the fence about whether or not I should actually put myself in the draw for the raffle.
I was happy to contribute either way

Heh, this is awesome

[goroth]

whoever is my satan - i found a note saying i've had a package to pick up since the 11th, so i'm gonna do that on monday

Wow. That is largely inefficient.

seems it was a slayer shirt from a secret admirer, with a xmas note but no peddles. it was either a buddy of mine or.. goroth, was that you?

If I had your address is be sending you slayer shirts and dick pics every other day all year round.

3 days to jeebus = 3 days to opening.

Fucking A it is, thanks to this awesome mensch making such a cool phaser accessible to the DIY masses. Second one I've sent out into the wild through ILFSS.

[xrleroyx]

Finally had mine sent out. had to do some tweaking to one of the pedals and find some of the swag.

Also, hope my mark gets my joke...

[phantasmagorovich]

I almost kissed the mailman! Awesome! And in time to be under the christmas tree! And without the customs office fucking about. (Well, they probably know the sender in person.)



Wild guess: Rustywire, is this you?

[ryan summit]

big ole fuckin box
wherpiderp!!!


i thought from cali
looks like louisiana
i think i know who it is

[Snufkino]

Almost got mine yesterday (I think). Durpy postman must have knocked on the door with his pinkie. Found a "sorry we missed you" card pushed through the letterbox, so it should be redelivered tomorrow.

[D.o.S.]

Ok, so, my willpower sucks. Almost as badly as my ability to get a camera. I did not last until Friday. I do not have a way to take photographs.

But! Scott totally delivered. First thing's first: a pair of chapbook style pieces from Gordon Isnor, who has done a lot of things per some cursory Googling. Fantastic. V. Much enjoying "Honey Things Are Gonna Be Just Great at the Commune" at the moment while I dodge work, appropriately.

Then! the newest IRerror record (this one: https://irerror.bandcamp.com/album/hey-listen ) on tape. It is rad. I have driven at least one upstairs neighbor to drink with it. The other has left to gamble with my roommate, which means that volume considerations are not an issue. This is best.

Stomps! A Mtl. Asm Positive, which is a hotcake with what sounds like a mids toggle, and a Boss PS-2. The Hotcake is so, so good on guitar, but it also sounds amazing with drones synths etc. Totally Smitten with the PS-2, though. Like. TOTALLY. SMITTEN.

One cool thing about the PS-2 is that it has a tuner out. While you can use this to, uh, tune, whatever the fuck that means, you can also feed it into the input, which creates a pretty bitchin' self-contained signal that is easily manipulable because, hey, it's a pitch shifter and a delay.

Here's what they sound like together, PS-2>Positive, nothing else added except a fade in. Too bad soundcloud doesn't embed anymore:

That is amazeballs. And I totally want to steal that PS-2 feeding into itself idea for live drones. SO BEST!
