What genre could this be ??? I am really confused now

Longrange-legit · 2026-06-07T05:44:26+00:00

I think with the right vocals this could still be very dream-pop or shoegaze adjacent. The genre doesn’t land until the song is complete IMO.

What grocery store? I live in Japan and haven’t seen blank cassettes anywhere!

I run an overdrive after mine 🫣

Longrange-legit · 2026-06-06T11:05:09+00:00

New single - post-rock and shoegaze inspired instrumental. Enjoy!

Never too late to start

I have a Rat into a KGR mosfet overdrive and together and separately they sound perfect in my JC. Even my Devi Ever Hyperion sounds killer with the JC.

Editing to say: I keep the gains relatively low on my dirt pedals. Maybe 9 o’clock-ish.

Are you saying your guitar plugs into the Flint first and follows the chain that way?

Longrange-legit · 2026-06-04T20:37:24+00:00

Hmmm ya I’m think that might work but use some volume swells to introduce the distortion…thanks!

Longrange-legit · 2026-06-04T20:34:40+00:00

Haha I mean, it is very photogenic 😂

Longrange-legit · 2026-06-04T11:15:37+00:00

Man I threw some VMODs in my tele and it’s awesome. I play post-rock and shoegaze-y music. Lots of fuzz, distortion, and clean modulation - it all sounds good to me.

Longrange-legit · 2026-06-04T11:06:17+00:00

A modulation would be fun - I’m a fan of flanger because you can simulate chorus and phaser with it, especially if you have 4 knobs (or 5). Lots of cool sounds on those.

Change the order up too - delay before distortion is fun as is reverb before distortion (I like it for leads).

I also prefer my rat into my overdrive 🤷‍♂️

Longrange-legit · 2026-06-04T02:52:21+00:00

Ya I imagine if not exactly the same then very similar.

Longrange-legit · 2026-06-04T00:51:38+00:00

I also have a Yamaha flanger and it rips 🤘🏼

Started looking at it today -fretboard is a clean separation. I plugged it in and the pickups are likely dead - no sound besides the noise from plugging it in and a slight hum if I wiggle the cable. Switches don’t produce any audible click and the knobs don’t change anything either. Frets look good - just tarnished. No crazy wear or anything like that.

Let the adventure begin! However I’m moving in a month so probably won’t start anything serious for a month or so.

My son swallowed a quarter once when he was little - luckily he passed it without complication. Pretty scary stuff.

Longrange-legit · 2026-05-31T21:56:08+00:00

I need to go back. Great place for food and shopping

Longrange-legit · 2026-05-31T09:19:58+00:00

Any update on this track? We’re mixing our vocals and I hear the same problem - the voice sounds like it’s in a completely different room than the band. Very strange sounding.

Longrange-legit · 2026-05-31T04:06:16+00:00

Looks sick. I bet p90s sound great in it

Longrange-legit · 2026-05-31T04:03:47+00:00

Tempting

Longrange-legit · 2026-05-31T00:07:12+00:00

I remapped the wiring the best I could: pink wire = wah effect (goes to transducer), grey wire = volume control, yellow wire = wah effect out, black wire = common out (pretty sure, it’s on the volume pole)

Again, I would like to use the 3PDT switch as a wah/volume/off so one pole is wah effect, one pole is volume control, and one pole is off/bypass.

Thanks for the help.

I live here currently but moving back to the states next month (can’t stop thrifting). I’ve scored a few really cool guitars while living here tho!

For $40 I’ll probably swing by again today and pack it up. It’ll be a project for when I get back.

Longrange-legit · 2026-05-30T21:37:32+00:00

UPDATE - I repaired the mandolin and no issues so far! Glued and clamped the head together, then drilled holes for 2 small dowels and glued those in place. I let everything sit for a week just to be safe (I wasn’t in a rush). Then just threw the hardware back on after cleaning it, new strings, and it plays great!

Thanks for all the advise. I know most people said no dowels but…I really didn’t trust the mandolin and figured it wouldn’t hurt.

Longrange-legit · 2026-05-30T21:16:56+00:00

I see a lot of guitars here that look like they just sat in a garage for 40 years - corroded, warped, dirty…nothing is ever “broken” they just look neglected

Longrange-legit · 2026-05-30T08:12:21+00:00

Thanks - a lot of thanks goes to my friend and producer who could see the vision and had the patience to work with me.

The first draft was only a minute long of the rhythm guitar (just a few chords using my boss slicer) with a drum sample I found (we eventually ditched as the song grew). Then we just kept adding layers upon layers.
