I've been hemming and hawing for quite a few days about the idea of getting a Drunk Beaver TS-100.
The TS-15 looks pretty good too.

But I could also just get an actual Traynor TS-25 for less money (even with having it shipped direct to my door (but it will take up much more space and the space where I record and play music is already cramped)).
Or I could spend about the same amount and get a Traynor TS-75 (but I'd have to travel 3 hours to get it and it would take up even more space (but would unleash *more power*)).

So the hamster wheel spins in place (and I get nowhere (...fast)).

I was not hemmed in by my hemming and hawing. Burst that hem at the seams.

Now maybe I need to get a Traynor TS amp so as to make comparisons, because... science (for those who can't afford Science Amps).

Always been curious, never pulled the trigger. Let us know how it is!

I have a LAL Devil Tail as well: it's a cool metal drive/distortion pedal. Very nasty as you would expect form LAL.

I got a Holy Island Audio Abracadaver, and mostly that the OBNE Parting! Such a cool and fun to play glitch delay pedal!

I'm GASing for a $70 green "Glarry" brand tele lol

The photos those no-name guitar brands use on Amazon are some of the greatest art of the 21st century. I'm sad that they've started being pushed out in favor of GenAI garbage.



I just encountered this Ukrainian-made knockoff of the Outward V1. Such a strange thing to copy! Were they able to extract the code from an actual Outward?

Now I see they're combining these two artistic techniques--awful computer-generated people playing crudely-pasted-in cheap guitars:

This is pretty fucked up, but instead of GASing after a separate ultra cheap guitar, I think I'm just gonna put some better hardware on my shitty guitar.

I have never felt like this before.

Finally decided to try a harmonic percolator and bought a MAE Part Garden. After just a short test it definitely sounds like a keeper. Also recently got the Gamechanger Audio Motor Pedal (pretty wild and large synth pedal), Beetronics Zzombee and a Boss Digital Metalizer. That Boss pedal sounded super underwhelming, need to give it more time and try to dig out something useful.

Which PG flavor, original, germ, or chef’s?

For perc-ish stuff, I’ve got a Clubber Lang which definitely doesn’t suck, but I’m long overdue to get a PG.

thanks for reminding me of the topic. i had meant to get a Land HP-2 but demurred when they went to $700-800 on the used market. considered a PG but found it a bit too much for me. just found a $200 HP-2 and crammed it into Affirm. only about 6 years late!

i'm slightly surprised to be buying pedals even occasionally because i have most of my needs covered, but also recently got a v1 Naga Viper from the Catalinbread scratch & dent sale. it's hard to think of other stuff i even want now, which is probably good since i have 4 pedalboards and going on 6 shoeboxes of unused/special-occasion boxes. i'm also kind of at an end for guitar acquisitions. i suppose amps would be next, but mainly i need to get the dead amps (Laney VC30/Kalamazoo Bass 20/Electar Tube 10) fixed and maybe a couple more speaker-cabinet options. in an ideal world i'd have 4 2x12s with JBL, Jensen, Greenback, and Fane/Fane-clone speakers which would cover just about everything. and for looping a Roland JC would be ideal, though a 70s Yamaha or Gibson Lab amp would do just about as well. and if i'm going outside of the house i could use a second 1x15" bass cab.

not that there aren't pedals i'm curious about...i just don't need any of them.

Chef's are all Germanium as well, right? I do have a non-Germanium one so I assume it is just the regular one. Sounds great!

Oh yeah, also got Death By Audio's Thee Treble Overload which is a nasty one! Turns my signal kinda into razor-sharp hiss which is great when I need that. Really over the top which is just the right amount of treble boost.
