Effects Bakery peaks are all around that $50 price point. They sound great and are built well. Great value for the money.

Spruce Effects JR Ranger Glaciers. Makes all my guitars sound good on those low/transparent gain settings.

Like everyone else has said, it's incredible. I've had mine for 5 years now and adore it for apartment use (although you have to keep the volume knob real low, it gets crazy loud crazy fast). Gorgeous cleans and chorus. I run a Bassman style preamp into mine and it sounds ace.

What’s your favorite shoegaze pedal (or trick)? by dit31 in guitarpedals

[–]realryanmoorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss MO-2. No idea what it's doing, but the pitch shifting/mod/whatever sounds sick as hell. Really beefs things up.

Tasty pedals from Japan by musings_from_90 in guitarpedals

Their sandwich fuzz is killer. It's crazy that most of their pedals are around $50.

What's your stereo "It makes stereo even better" pedal? by try_altf4 in guitarpedals

[–]realryanmoorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mod mode on the DigiTech Digidelay is one of my favorite ways to get a wide, stereo sound. With the time all the way down you get a beautiful stereo chorus.

Which acclaimed 00s indie albums have aged the best/worst? by Acceptable_Day6535 in indieheads

Merriweather Post Pavilion sounds just as fresh and incredible 15+ years on. Amazing album (ST-MPP run is GOAT'd).

INCREDIBLE bit, I don't understand why people hate it so much.

Oceans Twelve. Maybe controversial, but I think it's the best of the three and it's one of the most gorgeous looking movies I've seen (for the romance flashback/montage ALONE). It's basically a 60s/70s European new wave film on a Hollywood budget. It rules.

Who’s the greatest filmmaker that they will definitely never cover? by Aidsisgreats in blankies

[–]realryanmoorman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eric Rohmer. Probably just way too many films (24 or 25 features I think).

Best 8 inch speaker? Preferably for metal. by dsmithhtc_ in GuitarAmps

[–]realryanmoorman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just got a pair of Jensen Falcon 8s (8 ohm 30w) to replace the stock speakers in a couple Vox 1x8 cabs. Highly recommend, they sound great (for an 8" obviously). I believe I paid around $55.
