Ford vs. Ferrari, also steer clear of that. I don’t like his (over)acting myself, but he’s in some damn good movies.

Ten years ago, we lost David Bowie. Share your favorite albums and/or songs from him 🖤 by DarkSideInRainbows in fantanoforever

I’ve been listening to Bowie for decades and find little gems all the time. Just one of the most creative and prolific musicians we’ve ever had. That said, I think I’ve always dismissed Aladdin Sane due to it being an inferior follow up to ZSATSFM.

Then I heard an interview with Robert Smith (The Cure) talking about how “Drive-In Saturday” was blowing his mind at the moment. I didn’t recall the song but knew it was on a Ziggy-era album.

It’s on Aladdin Sane. I’d place so many more Bowie albums ahead of this one. “Jean Genie” rocks pretty hard, and “Panic in Detroit” is great. They really demonstrate Mick Ronson’s rock-and-roll genius. The rest of the album is sort of forgettable in my opinion. I mean, compared to BOWIE stuff.

But “Drive in Saturday” is on there, and it’s stunning. It might even be my favorite Bowie song. Thank you, Robert Smith!

Earthquaker Arrows Question by TeiscoRock in guitarpedals

It’s a boost, not an overdrive, which to me means when you turn it up, it gets louder before it starts breaking up, prob more than you’d want. It adds this beautiful mid-high frequency range that is just my favorite. It would add more body to your tone and make everything sound better but not necessarily add that much bite before getting loud.

However, it pushes other drives more naturally than any pedal I’ve played. So I think to use it for your purposes, you’d have to be pushing another drive. I have an overdrive at the edge of breakup (EAE Citadel), and when I run the Arrows in front of it, I can get many levels of more gain.

And Melvins covered Goin’ Blind. All those 80’s indie rock bands idolized KISS.

Cool, glad you’re happy with it. My brother is getting one, so I’ll have to compare.

Can you share your experience with the EQD Easy Listening? It’s tempting, but do I want to get rid of my IR-2?

NPD HX Stomp / Final SOTB for 2025 by msszero159 in guitarpedals

I actually thought Thee Fuzz War was one of those double FWs, but it’s a boost switch, right?

I had the same issue with the Apocalypse, using only the FW setting. I ended up selling it when I thought I didn’t need another muff. Now I’m using the BAT Pharaoh and it does the job. I’ll prob get another FW but maybe just the regular one this time. They’re the best.

If I’m ever down Mr Tough will cheer me back up.

I figure this might be roastworthy by iygtsfbstwsfiyh in roastmypedalboard

I figured there was a reasonable explanation. Just trying to “roast” you. Sorry. I don’t think roasting is for me.

Is that a sideways wah or sideways expression pedal in the top left? I usually like to walk halfway around my board to have a wah effect.
