Nels Cline and Mid-Fi?
On "Draw Breath" on the song 'Mixed Messages' towards the end is that a Clari(not)? I could SWEAR it sounds like it.
Just curious...
Also could anyone point out and definitive MID-FI moments on any of his albums?
I've read he's a Glitch Computer owner but id like to know what else he uses...

He has a Glitch Computer on his "noise board", but I've never noticed it on one of his albums.
It's number 4, I don't think Doug makes them like that any more though.

Re: Nels Cline and Mid-Fi?
sounds like there could be a Pitch Pirate around the 9min mark.
Just remembered this pic -

It's Scott Amendola's board (drummer). I remember reading the orange one is a custom Glitch Computer/Pitch Pirate/fuzz

Look at the mini-fuzz probe!
Yea I guess it does sound cleaner like the pitch pirate.

Re: Nels Cline and Mid-Fi?
that song is a pitch pirate, there is glitch on the giant pin i think....he borrowed one from bobb bruno for it if i recall correctly.
he also has a clarinot, a psych byke/fuzzz, and a random number generator (and 2 pitch pirates).
also jeff tweedy is using a "glitch pirate" double pedal.
and thats that!

Apparently Nels Cline is a huge mid fi fan at the moment. At least according to that guy.

Re: Nels Cline and Mid-Fi?
Rock on. You need more pedals with custom graphics on them like that. Nels has a great taste in effects. 

Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?
