On a side note...since I haven't built a true bypass looper for my Black Arts Pharaoh yet...I'm contemplating selling or trading it, anyone here interested? Let me know what you got and see if we can both come up on something new.

Thanks bud! This will be the 5th Verellen product I've owned, hopefully this one'll be a keeper like my now 3rd big spider

Oh, and why would you need a true bypass looper for a Pharaoh? It's all ready true bypass.

I'm ready.

How do you guys feel about coated strings? I've been using a set of nexus nanowebs but have nothing to compare them to.

Awwwwwww yeaaaaaaaah new Bongripper:

I can't stop listening to this album, it is so crushing!

Cool stuff. The vocals remind me of Abandon, which I'm all about.

I could see that. He is also in Clinging to the trees of a forest fire.

i havent seen Milk, but didn't think it was a depressing film...now i will have to watch it. nothing gets me like a good depressing film, but i do always feel the need to watch some stand up comedy afterwards...just to balance things off. I think a good depressing movie is probably one of the hardest films to make, the story, script the acting; everything has to be so good to draw you in and get you emotionally hooked so you feel the way you do by the end of the film...

Or you can do what many directors and writers do: give a small child Aids, remove his/her legs and arms, give the mother a cheating husband, and play lots of sad piano orchestra. Instant gratification.

The Pink Floyd film?

Necrosis18 wrote:What's deal with amps without a master volume? How is it beneficial or not? I saw someone selling their Dunwich because they forgot to have it designed with one and they mentioned in the ad they needed a master volume control on their amp for the specific tone they were going for.

A pre-phase inverter master volume allows preamp distortion at lower volumes; a post-phase inverter master volume allows for phase inverter distortion at low volumes. I think the problem with Darren's Dunwich was that when he boosted the front-end with a pedal it became too loud in the band mix.

radish wrote:I just got a early 70's non-master volume Ampeg V4 from Guitar Center's used section. I am curious, Is it normal for them to begin to break up with the volume around 10 o'clock? I had a V2 years ago and seem to remember it breaking up later.

It has Philips 7027s in it so I am not sure if they are the originals tubes the amp came with. I am guessing not, since most of the preamp tubes have been replaced with JJs. Who knows though. I might have it converted for 6550s anyway.

Also, the reverb does not work at all. I doubt I would use it anyway. Hopefully I can use it as a bargaining tool to get some money back (doubtful). Either way I am excited about this amp! Now I just need more cabs and a ABY pedal so I can run a dual amp rig.

Nice. Shame about the reverb though. Get some moolah off that bitch.

I picked up Tony's current Sunn concert bass for < $200

Jammed with new drummer again tonight. He'd learned a few of the songs from recordings I gave him and picked up a couple more over the course of the evening. Left his gear at my place which says to me....

I OWN YOU NOW!!! YOU PLAY DRUMS AND LIKE IT!!!!!
MWOOOhahahahahahahahahahaha.

I think we'll be gig ready in a couple weeks but I'm gonna call it a month to be on the safe side.
Dudes good. makes me feel like I need to step up my game.

We found another peavey classic 400 at guitar center. I think the DOOM gods are speaking to us. I got to play through it and it does sound really fucking good. Might try to work up some trade stuff.

Glad you've found someone that you like. The music I used to play took ages to learn and tighten up. It was such a ball-ache. I really regret not doing something simpler. Ahh well.

Plus I live in a town where every venue's sound dude busts out the decibel voodoo detector, (we have retarded licensing laws in this state) so you don't often have the option to go to 11.
If you put the volume pedal before the preamp you'll only cut down on gain, it might work in the loop though...I've never tried that actually.
Having said that, if I had money I'd totally jump on that wizard.
Now if only I could get my wife to say that about me...

Agreed. A volume pedal in the loop of an amp works kind of like a traditional master volume, but not quite the same. Also, that last line made me chuckle.

Most depressing movie? Grave of the fireflies and requiem, sure. But have you seen "the road"? Such bleakness.

Also, Melancholia.

samzadgan wrote:god damn! so...i was about to buy that SG, and in the meantime I sold my Epi LP...so now i have money and no guitar to buy.

but now I'm thinking, i wont buy a guitar with that money, and instead ill put a P90 in my other LP and save the rest of the money and once my band starts gigging, ill sell my amp and add the cash together to get a Laney GH100 and a 4x12 cab or maybe even a 2x15 cab...

Sounds like a plan.

It is? I thought it was when I bought it...then plugged it in and did the check I do on all pedals: Pedal off, clean signal, sweep each control to see if overrall signal is being affected...sure enough every knob on the Pharaoh is sucking a bit a tone, especially Volume...

Dayum son...

odontophobia wrote:What do you guys do as far as practicing goes?

This seems an applicable to the doom room heavies since y'all, like me, like to play loud.

I ask because a band I'm in was practicing with a new drummer yesterday. Just drum and guitars in the basement of the house. Wifey said it was really loud. It was definitely not that loud. It's just heavy-ish hardcore stuff tuned to drop c so there's a fair deal of low end. Wifey thinks one of the neighbors came by and pounded on the door/rang the doorbell. She wasn't about to deal with it as we just bought our house in November.

Good news is that we won't regularly practice in my basement but I'm also interested in being able to play loudly when nobody is home to be bothered by it (the wife) but it seems I have the neighbors to deal with, now. Any of you guys have any diy home solutions? Or do most of you just have practice space?

You can kill them. That's pretty easy to DIY.

Tis!!!! I've been pondering a pedalboard for the big rig, something simple like a dirt and a delay. This fills the dirt need perfectly. Verellen gain through a Dunwich Amp, FUCKING WIN. (not to knock your dirt pedals at all Nick but it's kinda cool to have tube circuits from both top amp builders) Now to save up for a Moog MF-104m..... and an 8 string Agile.....

I really want more people to build tube pedals. I think it's an untapped market and deserves attention. I have a few ideas myself. One day I'll start sourcing parts and finding out how much it would cost to produce a few of them.

something was faulty on that Pharaoh then.

Yeah it definitely should NOT do that.

It SHOULD be... Contact Mark @ BAT ElectricBlackDoom@gmail.com and let him know whats going on, his customer service is top notch and he will definitely help you out.

I know right?!?!

The unfortunate problem is cost and size, its near impossible to build a tube pedal with a compact footprint that will actually use the tubes as they should be used. Then on top of that the cost is ridiculously high due to the parts and design that needs to go into it. I agree that that it's a relatively untapped market, but that market would also be very very small due to cost. If I could get a tube version of a Moog Delay.... I'd... I'd... I'd sell a nut if i had too hahahahaha

i don't really think tube pedals are usually superior, depends on the circuit, but i don't usually think that having a valve in there makes that much of a difference in tonal quality.

i just got this Behringer VT911 which i'm in love with right now, and it has a valve, but i wonder how much difference it is making in there besides the actual circuit.

i could be wrong, but i never caught on to the valve pedal hype, really.

that is because a lot of tube pedals dont operate them properly.
