the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

get someone to make you a small booster in that smallest box, I'm gonna get that but I'm nowhere near to deciding what I want from my pedalboard yet, so I'm stuck with a green muff clone, rusty box and a Line6 M9. mostly hoping I'll figure it out soon, but the option of single pedals through a bypass loop kinda makes me scared. I did that before and the simplicity and awesomeness of the M9 has got me going for a while now. it's just endless fun, even if the sound is a bit (unnoticeable with a band) digital.

Got a three track demo recorded over the weekend to send out to local venues, so I can hopefully make a little money. Uploaded it to a new Bandcamp account, so I could share it with you guys.

Apparently, we didn't edit out the yell, and conversation at the tail of Karma Police. I'll have to remember to cut them when I burn disks.

I'm wondering if I could fit an expression pedal on the opposite side of all the other pedals so it opens up with that set for my Memory Boy. And if I can do that, why the fuck not wah, holy shit, this thing could get nuts. I'm excited guys, very excited...[/high stream-of-consciousness] Don't worry, pics are to come.

Question: How tall would you estimate the average expression pedal is at it's lowest point?

I remember seeing someone on TalkBass with a digital piano sustain pedal (usually pretty small) as the expression pedal for a memory boy. Since it's just a switch it would immediately but the modulation depth to really high which would cause some crazy pitch shit to happen. May not be the most versatile option, but it would be pretty weird and space efficient.

Also, if you wanna sell that EQ for cheapz....

that girl could defeat the hell out of me.

i got my laptop back to life...the system software is all restored, GarageBand works, and i'm working on reinstalling the CS4 stuff. so at least this week hasn't been a total loss. and "just friends" wants me to go out this weekend. now if i can just find some way to come up with some money to buy medication so i don't go batshit crazy before next Thursday when my unemployment check arrives...

Interesting idea, I'll have to look into it. But the modulation would be completely off though when the expression isn't engaged right?

You mean like this?

Sorry the EQ has already been promised to another home.

You mean like this?

I believe it would be off, yes.
& yeah that's the kind of pedal.

It took me a little while to realize how great of an idea this is. I can use it as a delay AND a cool square wavey tremolo/chorus. I tried the footswitch from my amp, but it didn't do anything. That one is a double contact, not single like most expression pedals.

I will definitely look for one of these when I'm at Music Go Round on Saturday.

The weather was beautiful today.
The Mail lady shed a couple of layers of winter garb and is beginning to look really good.
