Demo shemo bemo tremolo...
Recorded this months and months and months ago… Recorded on Garageband with a Behringer mixer …plugged into my iMac with an RCA cable …the cool stuff is …the HUGE room all of the drums were tracked in …the delay on one of the floor tom tracks …the extremely out of tune upright …and the delayed signal of the upright …I’m still …eh about it...

3:02 pm …finally finished my homemade fuzz pedal… made using Silicon transistors. Has one knob that controls the amount of fuzz. I was under the belief that it controlled the mix of dry/wet signal …but actually it only controls the amount of fuzz. Still though …for $40 …well worth it. Definitely worth looking into… I bought mine...

eBay: At It's Worst
I bought an old Sears SIlvertone 1464 on eBay a week or two ago… seller claimed it was in EXCELLENT cosmetic condition, everything worked great, that he even cleaned all of the pots himself. I got it at an awesome price too… to put it… for less than half of what I paid for my 4x10 Blues Deville. Now now… yesterday this thing came in the mail…  Now, I don’t...

8:36 pm …I just got my 1981 Hohner Pianet T electromechanical piano in the mail today …hell to get thru all of the packaging …but grateful nonetheless. This thing is in pretty great condition …minus the voicing on the last 6 keys or so …I need new rubber heads for the hammers but that’s relatively cheap …very happy. Played into a 2002 Fender Blues...

1981 Hohner Pianet T
I posted a bunch of information about the Hohner Pianet T electromechanical piano …a week or two ago. I bought one on eBay …and it FINALLY arrived today. It took a while to sort thru the packaging but it sounds GREAT. Though it looks like I’m going to need to do some voicing, tuning, and just some …cleaning. It seems like there’s a bit of dust and dibree? Some of the...

Craigslist gone bad...
So, I put up this amp saying that I accepted trades of “Vintage Silvertone, Harmony, Greco, and Teisco guitars” …I get this pictures message of THIS: Vintage 1958 Silvertone semi hollowbody …WOW. This thing is GORGEOUS. So I begin to think, “Man, this is a steal! I can’t wait to get this thing”. After texting the guy back multiple times about...

Fiona Apple
A friend of mine recommended that I purchase Fiona Apple’s record “When The Pawn” …I’ve never really listened to Fiona Apple before. The main reason I bought the record was that my friend who recommended it to me claimed it was the best engineered record of all time …being into recording and such… I bought it. …wow. Jon Brion, who wrote the score...
