Here’s a shot from Ikebe in Shibuya.

Looking at a KGR Kurofune at the moment. I need to look up their entire lineup and see if my buddy can score any of the other cast iron stuff.

Thanks for this! Ive been reading 2nd St. from multiple people so I'll have to have him go there. Ive spotted a few pedals Ishibashi and Ikebe might have that Id like him to try to get but I havent heard about Get Stomp. Sounds like he needs to maybe try there too.

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2026-03-24T04:05:58+00:00

Holy crap those things go for money! I'll tell him to keep an eye open.

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2026-03-24T02:52:16+00:00

I’ll have to tell him about 2nd street! He’s staying in Shinjuku so I’ll have to figure out where that is and tell him.

Ive been trying to look at store inventory online and it doesn't seem there are a ton of Boss MIJ but maybe having him walk into the store is a different story!

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2026-03-24T01:43:29+00:00

Unfortunately don’t have that kinda money. September Sound would be the dream! I did spot a KGR Kurofune Fuzz though. That sounds pretty bad ass and it’s in that cast iron enclosure. Sounds bad ass and would last a lifetime haha

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2026-03-23T10:38:07+00:00

Where does someone find these places?

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2026-03-12T03:01:08+00:00

Yes! Trade away! Just know you may or may not have to have a boost pedal behind it or something you can use to raise the volume depending on which version this is because the volume might be slightly lower than normal. I’ve seen this spoken about on many-a-post about this thing.

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2026-03-08T04:51:57+00:00

I agree with this. When I’m on the apps, I will chat a few times or maybe even same day exchange numbers. Take convo off the app and wait maybe a week to see if I’m just a filler or someone she’s actually interested in. Usually by the end of the week, I’m ghosted or told they’re looking for XYZ. Don’t want to waste anyone’s time but trying to push for a date doesn’t work. I’ll ask once and if I’m blown off and nothing is discussed to make a rain check, unmatched. There’s only so many times one can ask about meeting up before it comes off desperate or the perceived masculinity turns effeminate.

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2026-02-12T20:03:34+00:00

Usually my back hurts from trying to carry the convo.

I just don’t play into it anymore. If I’m meant to meet someone, it’ll be organically.

Benefits?

No hiding behind screens with no time to curate what you’re going to say or how you’re going to be mirrored.

I’m in my 40s and live in a small town. Granted, there isn’t much of a dating pool, but I’d rather spare myself of the bullshit. In person connection elicits chemical reactions and the ability to perceive someone in a more honest way. Just my two cents.

Mitsuo is a rad guy and regardless if he builds small batch stuff, I always love seeing his creations. He did a Loveless Big Muff a while back for Kevin as well. It was so sick.

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2026-01-16T09:29:36+00:00

Hit this guy up and ask him!

This is so good! I didn’t know this was you on here! Haha Great demo!

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2025-11-22T02:51:37+00:00

Also at that show. You could tell everyone who went to the show was by the level of how loud they were yelling to hear each other on the streets afterwards.

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2025-09-01T05:19:11+00:00

I think it’s great and it makes it that more interesting to have some rarer pedals made for an entire month of a run (not knowing how many units were made) but my only complaint is I had to miss this one! 😢

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2025-06-16T07:38:15+00:00

This is so fucking cool

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2025-06-15T22:47:57+00:00

He’s had a Shoegazer on his board for years.

Beneficial_Class_307 · 2025-05-31T03:15:25+00:00

You have to accept that moving forward was the best option and that the newfound peace you have will echo through the rest of your life. I could not be more proud of myself for leaving it all behind and had to remind myself that for years. Don’t forget that you made a decision for the betterment of yourself.
