I bought a Notadumble. When JHS announced it, I was actually excited to hear about it. You see, my always-on pedal for the last few years has been a D-type. I’ll admit. I have no idea what a Dumble sounds like. I know that it’s supposed to be the Robben Ford sound. I, also, know …

SOTB – March ’25 Edition
Who doesn’t like talking about gear?!? It’s one of those things that those of us that consider ourselves gearheads can do for hours without even stopping for breath sometimes. I know I can. Heck, I’ve done it. And I’ll do it right now. So, fair warning, this post is probably going to be way too …
I Love Tube Screamers?
So I have a pedal on my board that I really like. It’s not a Tube Screamer. I’ve been told it’s a D-type. If you look at the ad-copy on the company website, it never mentions the word Dumble, but it, also, gives the impression that it was modeled after that type of amp. It’s …
Using the PodGo
Two or three years ago I took in a box full of pedals to my local GC to trade. I don’t guess it was quite a box full, but it was 7 or 8. It was by and large a bunch of Klones and TS-type that I had never used after I tried them out …
I WON!!
So I won the lottery this year. But it’s not like I get to retire. Every year since whenever it was they started them (like 2012 or whenever it was), I have tried to get in on the Premier Guitar Mystery Stocking deal. For me, it’s a fun little thing to do. I send them …
Black Friday Deals
There are a LOT of Black Friday deals out there. And, since T-day isn’t even until next week, there are more of them coming. I almost always end up picking something new up between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Most of the time, it’s the Cyber Monday deals that get me. This year, I’ve already …
Am I a Nobel guitar player?
Every time I hear someone play an ODR-1, I dig it. It’s just a really good sounding pedal! I had somehow missed until a couple years ago that it was something of a Nashville staple pedal. Back in like 2021, I had a guitar buddy that had one, and he loaned it to me. I …
Cheap OD Addiction
I have a problem with buying cheap ODs. I have a drawer full of them. Actually like 2 drawers full of them. 2 drawers with like 40 pedals each. Suddenly I feel like I need to qualify that last statement. I also have my “good” OD pedals too. In fact, I currently have 2 boards …
State of the Board – Today’s Edition
Several years ago I started making an “affordaboard.” Yes, I stole the name from guys like 60 Cycle Hum. What that is is a pedal board that has budget pedals on it. The board I made up had a looper on it that I paid $100 for and it was more expensive than all the …
