Just a little heads up!
I'm thinking of putting a tour box together that will go through the US as the new pedals start to drop over the next month.
If anyone is interested, please PM me and I can start to work out logistics as I feel some of you are very keen to play some big ol' fuzz.

What, no Australian tour box?

There's like 3 of us on the whole stinkin continent haha!!

Midnight World Tour?

Pm'd.

the day has come.

I have an issue with clutter in my home. im having clutter anxiety attacks. crippling attacks. some of the worst Ive ever had. couple that with a slightly private fight against extreme depression, I have been a wreck in my own home for months now. my sanctuary is now my enemy.

Im downsizing, and streamlining every aspect of my home life. everything I sell / donate / organize streamline is making me feel slightly better. why have a sectional when its just me and the wife and 2 spoiled dogs and cats? replace with a cozy couch and enjoy the extra floorspace. why have a kitchen table and 6 chairs we have literally never used just to have it? give it to my sister with 4 kids and baby alice in route. why have a scanner and printer? all in one for the win.. why have a huge, drab, grey computer desk? replace it with a gloss red one half its size in the corner so I can enjoy my home "office" corner windows.

then my crippling demon set its eyes on my loud room.

why have 10+ amps? why have 15+ guitars? my love for a wall of crush can live in harmony with my demons right? wrong. im going to give this new idea a try. im going to downsize my "home" rig. thank god im going to be playing bass in an upcoming project with dr poop and we have talked about getting a lock and leave space, the bass rig will be out of sight out of mind. however im trying a new thing at home.

2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 amp, 1 cab, unlimited pedals.

the keepers
"brownie" 1980 the paul. Ive had it for over a decade. it was MINT when I bought it and lord knows its not now... its the guitar everyone associates with "me". huge tones, perfect neck, ebony board. dimebucker has been in there since 2006. might pull it out for a slug. might leave it cause its so good.

a mid 70s Greco les paul clone
bolt on neck, pancake body, pot metal hardware. why keep it when I own a beautiful les paul standard premium? it plays better, sounds better, and just feels right. this cocksucker makes me look at my 2500$+ les paul and be ashamed of myself. way to go dipshit.

the amp that stays.
hold onto your assholes gentlemen. my kalamazoo 30 watt 210 combo is the one staying. its so unique, its so amazing, dime that bitch and its perfect. the V4s, vt22 and god knows how many other amps are going. for some reason im fine with that. . . if I need a loud guitar fix I have 3 svts, 4 810s, and that horn from hell. so ill be ok. im gonna pop that bitch open tonight and see if 2 greenbacks will fit in this bitch.

cab is a checkercloth marshall with greenbacks. it might get greens pirated from it and sold empty. im not sure.

and im on the prowl for a short scale bass for home. I play along to classics at home so a SS in e is perfect for my home noodle bass.

long pointless post is long and pointless. thanks for reading gentlemen.

Fuck man

You're gonna need lots of time off to ship that stuff

thats gonna be one hell of a craigslist add

Or am I completely wrong.

This is basically it /\

So you do a parallel split at the input jack: one lead goes to 4 16ohm speakers in series parallel, then the other to two 8 ohm in series (best placed in the middle IMO).

This is the closest representation I can find:

Anxiety in any shape is a crippling mind fucking son of a bitch. I feel for you bro.

While I admire your insanely huge rig, I completely understand where your coming from. I'm down to 1 amp rig, 3 guitars, and 1 and a half pedal boards. A far cry froma year or so ago for me.... But you'll still have the triple SVT rig so... you know... you got that going on.

Yeah, I figured that would be the best way but I read that it was kind of inefficient where the two 8 ohm speakers would be a lot louder than the other 4. I don't have any experience with a 6x12 so I figured I could get first hand knowledge on this from you guys. I'd like to get it at 16ohms so I could run it along with my 16ohm 4x12 for a full stack (and a quarter) but I know it won't ever happen. I can always run 2 heads, but that's pretty overkill for what we are doing now too.

I've never heard two speakers being louder than the others in mine, and I've tested the theory after it being brought to my attention. I couldn't hear a damn difference in volume to be honest, I even put a mic on each speaker and the Db boost was barely noticeable in the DAW.

16ohms aint gonna happen unless you find someone who sells or will make you 32ohm speakers. then you could plug it into the above diagram with the 32's replacing the 16's and 16's replacing the 8's.

I'm glad the volume issue isn't a big deal like I thought. That is the only thing that really had me worried. I'm gonna get the cab made without speakers and then load them when I get the cash. Running it and my 4x12 isn't an issue because the sole purpose of getting the 6x12 was to eliminate needing two cabs. Still, its one of those "It'd be cool if I could" type things. Where are your two 8ohm speakers located? From what I've read the middle was where everyone was putting theirs but does it really matter?

Whiskey,

sorry to be hear about anxiety depression. I think it's a battle many in the doom room are familiar with in some aspect.

At least you've got the lady and the pups.

Good for you whiskey! I'm getting to that point myself. Well, my wife and I both are. There is just so much shit all over our tiny appartment, (mostly my gear and building stuff, and us just not staying organized) that we both just come home, sit on the couch, and then go to bed because we can't stand looking at it. My wife went on a cleaning spree yesterday and was able to get 4-5 trash bags worth of stuff out of the house, 2-3 more for donations, and then 2-3 for recycle. Just need to get that stuff OUT, especially since we are moving soon, into an even SMALLER place.

Damn, that's a lot to deal with. I have a relative who's just coming off of a major anxiety streak and in my limited experience, it's rough as hell. Hope things start looking up soon.

I was having more of a rig efficiency thing going at one point, but moving it to a practice space has largely quelled those feelings. I can lug an instrument and board out to where we practice, and keep a small amp where I live for convenience.


Also, Midnight World Tour is an awesome idea, provided the shipping isn't unbearable for you. I've loved every clip I've heard, but I know they're out of my budget for the moment.
