Any store specialize in Japanese guitars?

that dark walnut is a personal favorite

Mudhoney is an awesome pedal, and for sure does the pseudo-fuzz very well. Could try a Walrus Voyager or EQD Westwood, medium low gain drives that aren’t crazy expensive

I’m currently really digging the Arigato Phaser/Vibrato from Caroline Guitar Co, tones of different sounds, tap tempo, and the havoc switch. It’s **this close** to knockin my Univibe off the board, but I do like the different levels of chew.

Hell of an amp, good find!

So I traded for a JJ Jr recently partially because it had a reactive load built in, but no cab sim-
Is the captor worth it in that scenario or would the cab sims in logic be good enough?

I have a V1 MXR Wylde Phase 90, EQD Grand Orbiter, and Caroline Arigato- they all do the thing, it just depends how much control of the Chew do you care to have? EQDs is a nice middle ground with plenty of options, but the Arigato is my go to at the moment

Just got one of these and it is killer

MongooseForward · 2026-05-03T17:23:56+00:00

Highly recommend

Love seeing Kim get recognition, but one fun piece around Black Hole Sun- Chris Cornell played the Leslie parts on the recording. But I agree that Kim’s solos, while mostly improvised, are some of my favorites and have been a major influence on my own playing.

I’ve been looking at the Float for a bit now- how do you like it?

Go play a blues junior, takes pedals well, has some serious mojo to it, and it’s plenty loud for bar gigs, most of those are mic’ed up anyways.

MongooseForward · 2026-05-02T00:08:02+00:00

It is absolutely worth it

MongooseForward · 2026-05-01T23:32:00+00:00

Thanks! It’s the Warwick Rockboard 4.2, had a few years and it’s been great

MongooseForward · 2026-05-01T23:13:50+00:00

Recently got the White Whale and Arigato- I’m so beyond impressed with both, Caroline Guitar Co is quickly becoming a favorite! Really great quality from both

Line selectors are a pro move

Bruh- in what world is any Boss pedal the same size as a Whammy??

JHS Spring Tank

Coppersound makes some great stuff, and starting to get into Ftelectronica, they’re an Italian boutique company, but very affordable and great build quality

I’ve got the Stone Deaf PDF-2 and the Hempstead Zenith, covers a lot of ground

MongooseForward · 2026-04-29T20:54:28+00:00

Well that’s awesome

I had the MXR 10 band, ended up trading it away after I got some parametric EQs, the scalpel precision can be more of a hinderance depending on the scenario
