I've been curious about the Android...how ya like it?

I'm supposed to be buying a Vox Ace guitar tomorrow. I don't know if it's already been sold but I'm going down to the store tomorrow morning. It's white, the paint is pretty fucked up on it and there's a gash in the back of it. I'm going for it though, its cheap.

Cool, Danny! Hope you get it bloke!

You might wanna note King Buzzo that Steve's sound also comes from the Travis Bean, metal picks, and using PA speaker cabs weighted with sandbags instead of guitar speaker cabs.

^I know, but i never knew the sandbag thing.

Its such an amazing sound though, no?

stress free, i was using a snarling dogs ring mod which had an awful buffer (im not usually bothered about this sort of thing but this is very noticable,) it also sometimes decided to be awkward and refused to turn on and off,

and ring mod isnt an effect you want to have stuck on at a gig, luckily this didnt happen but if i kept using it, im sure it wouldnt have been long until it did.

overall the android is alot smoother, but doesnt quiet have the attack i want with the sounds i want, i think im going to get a booster and put them in a loop to give it an extra little jump,

its also true bypass and the size of an mxr pedal so overall its a dream come true

I hope BYOC offers a Ring Mod kit with a small enclosure eventually...I already have 2 ring mods though...just put my Frequency Analyzer into my loop and it sounds good there.

Thanks. I'll post a picture if I get it.

I like how you say 'bloke' even though nobody even says it in Liverpool.

I joke with my other friend in Liverpool about it. I wish it was said here more.:D

I have had my sister's unworking MIJ Fender Jaguar sitting around for nearly 10 years not working, and my friend fixed it this week...it's so weird actually playing it and not having it sit in the corner anymore...it's still my sisters, but she has a Tele she never plays anyway...The thing sounds pretty awesome and twangy.

^ You person, are lucky with gear.

Haha. What's your friend's name?

Fuck yeah! Only 54 pounds.

I have like 5 guitars now.

Congrats!

Motherfucker. I only dont like that headstock but whatever.

5? Which ones?

I'm taking updated pics of all my gear today.

Nice! Post it ASAP!

Cool.

I figured all I need now is 1/2 fuzz pedals, a trem pedal and a flanged and a better amp (fender bayme?)

Well, I have so far;

Vox Ace (that I got today)
Fender Jazzmaster
Burns Cobra
Weird jaguar knock-off
No-name stratocaster

Here's new pics taken today at Fortress Of Desire:

Well see, this is the point where I say 'Lucky fuck'

I will steal that Jazzmaster.
I love the colours.

i think chout needs more muff!

Ahhhh CHOUT, is that a hot rail I spot in the Mustang? Get it out Get it out for gods sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice guitars, chout. They're not abused-looking enough for my liking, though.

I wanna get a white jazz soon.

Mini-Humbuckers are for pussies.

Let me rephrase, Humbuckers are for pussies.

Did that come from J's mouth or something?

No. I know he said it, but I agree. I dont like the output and the suckage of feedback. And they're not noisy at all and they sound dull.

Mini humbuckers are even worse. Change it, right now. I'll fly down there and smack you.

Bring it on, punk.

I like single coils more that buckers (that bucker in the 'stang sounds just like a single coil with less noise), but they all have their place somewhere...

I guess it depends on music.

I like the Jag, but those mij pickups are pretty sucky...damn screechy unmusical microphonic feedback.

Yeah, I've had that problem. I just run the feedback through a blue box and a wah and then it's fine.

I'm selling my Turbo Rat and sold my Little Big Muff to my friend to fund more BYOC pedals...I just ordered the chorus that I'm gonna mod to have a vibrato switch.

we've had a raw experience with byoc pedals, a friend of ours did a big muff clone for our bass player, the thing almost fell in pieces, costed him 55 euros and in the end had lots of problems. the sound in itself was even cool, but it's totally unreliable. his getting it changed with a custom made wood shell for 2 lousy plastic pedals he has...

Hmm, that sucks. But it seems like a thing where they're sturdy if you build it carefully. Mine are very solid.

I read a Kevin Shields/ J. Mascis interview where J. Mascis gave all young guitar players the advice to never use humbuckers. Since then I've taken all of his opinions with a grain of salt.

welcome back julian, where have you been...oh wait you may have still been around and I just haven't been looking at a lot of threads

I just put a green LED in my Mighty Mouse today...all my byoc pedals are gonna be different colors...the chorus and large beaver are on the way.

I just ordered a Behringer Vibrato from activemusician.com, the only place that seems to have them yet.
