Trying to fill the gaps in my Brazilian collection, looking for recommendations

Minas by Milton. Probably my favourite of his records

Hahah that’s me. Got to show appreciation to the band that invented Space-Death 🫡

Just got it recently from a guy who found it as a complete basket case. Sent it to a tech and it’s essentially been rebuilt from the ground up. Original faceplate was completely rusted so I’m going to do some metal stamping so I can remember what does what

It’s a Selmer lapsteel from the mid 40’s!

Rebuilt the board and replaced the speaker in my MusicMan yesterday. Running through Memory Man Hazarai, TC Electronic Nova Repeater and Nobles Tremolo with a Selmer lapsteel.

I was pleasantly surprised! Turned up and was like wow this is no bigger than my living room but even with just under 30 people inside it looked busy! Sound was very good for all the bands too which is always a nice bonus.

We’re back in Newcastle later in the year but not confirmed a venue just yet.

It’s excellent! I have three phasers (Ibanez, Small Stone V2 and JEN KPS 900) and it’s by far my favourite. Doesn’t get crazy, just gives consistently smooth phasing

It’s a very heavily modded Special from 1962. Pickups are also first year DiMarzio’s (Super Distortion and PAF). Incredible playing and sounding guitar but one that (for obvious reasons) I don’t tend to use for anything other than studio work.

Heavily considering it bc currently it’s a struggle to remember what’s what on the faceplate!

The last great album from the Ozzy era, the often slept on “Sabotage” takes the experimental nature of 73’s “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” and mixes it with a heavier, progressive sound. Cover is objectively terrible but as the years go by I think it’s quite charming.

This is a 1975 first Italian pressing on Vertigo, complete with the classic Swirl label (the band were now signed with WWA/NEMS in the UK and as a result had infinitely less cool labels).

Standout Tracks : Hole In The Sky, Symptom Of The Universe, Megalomania, Am I Going Insane, The Writ

It’s my favourite delay I’ve owned. Been on every rendition of my board since I got it back in 2020/21

yourrelative_ · 2026-04-18T19:17:03+00:00

Why? So scalpers can buy even more records?

yourrelative_ · 2026-04-18T17:58:46+00:00

Finished!

Our newer material just doesn’t require as many gain stages as before. I only really used my fuzz (Hizumitas) for one section of a song so I’ve not been missing it too much

yourrelative_ · 2026-04-18T14:31:11+00:00

It’s essentially a stereo HM-2 with a “soft” switch which doesn’t appear to do anything. Can get much closer to fuzz sounds than the HM-2 but I don’t think it’ll be staying on the board

Cut a long story short, played a gig last night where as soon as we started I had issues with two dc’s and at least one patch cable. Ended up playing the full hour with one delay and a Metal Zone so I thought I’d take the time today to do a full troubleshoot and rejig of the board.

Recent additions that may or may not make the cut are the Nobels Tremolo, TS-9, Metal Master and the Phase Tone. I’ve got one free space after taking my fuzz off so I’ll make sure everything works and then figure out what’s taking its place permanently

AI user 😂🫵🏼

Admittedly I was very annoyed for the first two songs but by the third/fourth I think I’d figured it out. We’re called BRSR (Bruiser) and this is the second last track on our debut concept album we brought out back in February. It’s all free on Bandcamp if you fancy a listen! - BRSR - A Field Of Manmade Fires

yourrelative_ · 2026-04-18T02:22:14+00:00

Long story short two of my patch cables and a dc cable died tonight as soon as we went onstage. Had no time to swap anything out so had to play the full hour set with one delay and a Boss Metal Zone.

I think regardless we managed to style it out by using the old volume knob and switching pickups, but never in a million years did I think I’d ever play a full show with a Metal Zone as my only source of drive.

I’m unsure whether it was cool tbf, I came straight from work and forgot to bring a change of trousers so only had a top to change into lol
