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 …

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 …
