This new Naga Viper changes everything. It’s pushing my current overdrive pedals to new levels and even clean tones are brighter. Feels more like new pickups than a new pedal—very fun. Heard the guitarist from Earthless talk about buying several treble boosters in an interview recently and I didn’t get it. I’m starting to! It changes the whole character of your setup.
Love this super simple Pickle Vibe pedal. At 10 o’clock it sounds like the Uni-Vibe sound in Breathe by Pink Floyd and cranked it has a Riders on the Storm sound. The only problem was an always-on power indicator which I don’t need. So I grabbed my soldering gun and removed that 2nd LED. Unfortunately now the first LED doesn’t blink at the vibe rate like it used to. I can live without that but if any pedal people know how I might fix it this would be a perfect pickle vibe.
Latest addition: Haunt Fuzz by Old Blood Noise. It's like a crisper Big Muff with some additional chaos. The Gate is a clip that squashes the signal in a "oh no, the amp is too loud and it's breaking" sort of way that I like in small doses. Running this into a Catalinbread DLS in Super Bass mode is [metal chef's kiss]. I was inspired to record one minute of doom noise to demo:

On the real pedal front, this catalinbread DLS is my favorite distortion sound right now--a dark, growly Marshall sound. (Makes up for the weaker heavy distortion sound on the Blackstar.) And this digitech Mosaic is a fun, jangly 12-string simulator.
Picked up another classic.
Nice evening to throw some discs.
About to hit this putt for par. (You’ll just have to trust me.)
I feel you Reuters website error message.
