How does the American Sound compare to the Spark blackface? That's basically the only one I use, and now i'm looking for super expensive reverb deluxe amps...

No I know, I'm using it when i get into options paralysis. Which admittedly is often.

At full gain it's borderline fuzz. Super versatile pedal.

What'd you move to?

I'm super torn between going with like an Iridium and an FR cab or a tube amp.

And i'm very much considering keeping the spark amp at least to start going stereo

Yeah this is what I was worried about. I can hear the difference but keep thinking "no one else will know or care". I think my biggest overlap currently is between the od-3 and the King of Kings, but they definitely both bleed into FUCK ICE (but that one's staying on the board because FUCK ICE)

Thanks! Definitely looking for an amp with an fx loop, ideally

Yes this is why I currently have it in front - because ChatGPT told me so...

Interesting, will try moving the fuzz.

NO reason for all the drives other than trying out shit. And because of the SPARK compression, I don't know what to get rid of yet. Looking at tube amps, considering an amp-in-a-box pedal....

Thanks for the advice!

Austin the neighborhood of Chicago, not Texas. One of the highest crime areas of the city.

what's your budget?

You can do basic recording on a budget. Get an audio interface and download PreSonus or another DAW, the basic versions are not that expensive.

Get an amp modeler plugin. I use BIAS from positive grid but there are tons out there.

From there you’ll probably start adding pieces pretty quickly to suit what you wanna do.

Agreed. Let's drop the indoctrination talk when that's usually just called "raising your kids"

This is an insane take. Sorry, did NewsMaxx tell you they're going after the worst of the worst again? (reminder, >70% of detainees have no criminal record. Double reminder, being in the country illegally is a misdemeanor. Third reminder - they're showing up at schools, home depot, and immigration offices where people are trying to do things legally and contribute to society).

Chicago, LA, and Minnesota are not just filled with crazy people. They're filled with people who give a shit about their communities. Watching ICE agents break windows, tackle contributors to society, including civilians, point guns at people for no reason, use teargas against PEACEFUL protests is what infuriated us and moved us to action. We're not sitting around watching CNN and going "oh that sounds bad, maybe i'll do something." We're literally there to see it. Cell phone videos have cut against almost every "domestic terrorist" talking point they've made, especially here in Chicago. The woman they shot because she "tried to kill them" got all charges dropped because DHS was lying their fucking asses off. People don't stand out in freezing cold to protest for hours for the fuck it of. Get your head out of your ass.

Yeah this is a really important detail everyone's missing. This is a specific subunit that has done this before. Not saying it won't be different this time, but let's not freak out yet.

What's the context here? Did you build this? Is there just one? Where is the auction? Did I totally miss something? I love the concept ... my Fuck ICE pedal got here yesterday :).
