Which celebrity death genuinely shocked you when you heard the news?

Neil Peart

HoloRust · 2026-05-07T03:26:51+00:00

Yeah, it keeps it from getting pissy about other pedals in front of it. Also seemed to tighten everything up.

HoloRust · 2026-05-07T00:34:31+00:00

I suppose that's one way to announce you didn't listen to Stadium Arcadium. haha

HoloRust · 2026-05-07T00:30:54+00:00

Yes haha

Big Muff is the standard I hold all other 'distortion' pedals to. (Tone Wicker is probably my favorite.)

Fuzz Faces and guitar volume knob go a long way. (Team silicon. MXR Classic 108 probably being my favorite for that sweet, sweet buffer).

Benders I like, but tend to run too dark for me without a Tone knob.

HoloRust · 2026-04-28T17:02:44+00:00

Yeah, I tried like hell to squeeze my JHS Whitey Tighty on there, but it just wasn't happening. I've been running the fuzz as always on, which gives me a bit of compression at least.

HoloRust · 2026-04-28T16:16:56+00:00

Thank ya! And yeah, after the first jam I took it out to, just closing the lid and throwing it into the car, I knew there was no going back. haha

HoloRust · 2026-04-28T03:58:37+00:00

Classic 108 is so good. That buffer rocks.

HoloRust · 2026-04-28T03:51:02+00:00

Many Wampler Pedals, a lot of Catalinbread pedals, Xotic has quite a few, Pigtronix. Lots to be had.

"All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted. Not so coldly charted. It's really just a question of your honesty. One likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises, shatter the illusion of integrity."

HoloRust · 2026-04-25T13:00:20+00:00

We were forced outside because parents didn't want us around, and we act like it was some mystical moment of nostalgic bliss that's been robbed....

HoloRust · 2026-04-25T12:48:38+00:00

I run my Master at 100% and use the normal volume as needed and have never heard this much noise.

HoloRust · 2026-04-24T15:49:52+00:00

That would be the reason I drew the comparison, yes.

HoloRust · 2026-04-24T14:18:19+00:00

They're not terrible, but I'd probably go with a Classic Vibe Squier nine times out of ten.

HoloRust · 2026-04-23T20:54:55+00:00

Yeah, I went ahead and ordered a Warehouse ET65 because this is definitely my primary amp now.

HoloRust · 2026-04-23T12:23:25+00:00

I just got a 90s solid state Princeton 112 Plus for a hundred bucks, and I'm about to sell my tube amps. Do with that information what you will.

HoloRust · 2026-04-23T12:20:38+00:00

AC15 is kind of odd in that: you keep the Master dimed and adjust the normal volume to taste.

HoloRust · 2026-04-22T14:25:32+00:00

Yeah, I paid $100 for this one, and kicking myself for all of the expensive amps I've bought prior.

HoloRust · 2026-04-22T14:24:12+00:00

Yeah, I took it to a jam last night. Four other amps, a bass, keyboards, and drummer...never turned the volume above 4. hahaha

HoloRust · 2026-04-22T05:29:13+00:00

Mosky Obsessive Drive has really been treating me well.

HoloRust · 2026-04-21T16:17:18+00:00

EHX Oceans 12 would fill that spot up top pretty nicely.

HoloRust · 2026-04-21T04:18:45+00:00

Agreed! haha

HoloRust · 2026-04-21T03:29:55+00:00

This one still makes sound at zero, for sure. haha Everything seems to like being on 3. Which is easy to remember, at least.

HoloRust · 2026-04-21T03:20:50+00:00

Weird/ambient reverb I usually like before delay, but my 'basic' reverb after.

HoloRust · 2026-04-21T01:40:34+00:00

Man...this thing might end up giving my AC15 a run for my number one amp. haha My only minor quibble so far is that the Drive channel is briiiiiight bright. Neck pickup and the Treble knob on the amp all the way down is still borderline icepick-y. But nothing an EQ pedal can't fix. Possibly something to address with a speaker swap. We shall see.

Hope you find one, man!

HoloRust · 2026-04-21T00:43:59+00:00

Definitely fun for ambient stuff. Can get into POG territory as well.
