Location: Jet City | I've been gettin' the itch again. I can't help myself. I think I'm gonna start looking to join or start a band.
I got my last necessity finished with some help on the last key pieces from Stephen.
I did find out a bunch of my line noise was coming from my old Digitech PDS 1002 diigital delay. I've had it for 20+ years, I guess it was time. Until I can get what I want, the POS that's there will just have to work.
For those who care, here's the signal chain:
Electric Guitar --> Old pre-Dunlop Crybaby --> Custom Shop Fulltone Full Drive 2 --> Vintage MIJ Pearl Chorus, then Flange, then Phaser --> Ernie Ball Jr Volume --> Cheap ass digital delay --> Amp
The RC-20XL looper is stand alone and the acoustic guitar is plugged into it. It can be swapped into the end of the chain with a simple cable. I may add a compressor to the acoustic chain as well. The acoustic usually just uses the Roland's built in effects.
Oh, on the Furman pedal board, I took a 1x6 and cut it into 3 pieces. One length at 8", and two at 4" so I could do various lengths in back if the setup changes in the future (right now, all 16" are in line back there). Stuck velcro hooks on the bottom of the blocks, and the furry part up top. Then made a "shelf" with them on the back row as I was finding it awkward to hit the buttons in back with the knobs of the front row pedals.
I'm ready to go now. Any bands needing a guitar player/singer?

All you really need is three chords and the Truth!
And of course a little distortion, some chorus, add a bit of delay and... |

Dave happens to be about the best uke player I know personally, so I'm guessing he would be able to do something, well... not terrible. |

Same thing happened to me last august. Fortunately, I was only out for a couple of months. Hopefully you'll find something in short order (or enjoy a little time off first!). |

I'm taking the week off though. |

Take a breath, take a walk in the woods, go someplace you haven't had time to for a while.
Then take up the hunt with vigor and renewed purpose. (I know you know how.) |

You still up for the task? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | While you're clearing the cob webs, Damon, clear out some of you PM box. It's full. Let me know if you get desperate for wine. I'll bet we have some reds in the "wine cellar" that we'll never touch. |

Location: Jet City | I never turn down the reds. Funny, I just looked through them, and noticed there's nothing that can be considered house wine (less than $30)
It's gonna be a spendy evening. Maybe I should just grab the most expensive and irreplaceable bottle and drink it with a straw! |

Location: Jet City | Mmmm. That was Saturday Bobbo. Grilled up some ribeyes and had them with a nice malbec. I marinated them in a bit of the wine too.
Good stuff.
I won't be down long I'm sure. If I told them I'll go back into sales, they'd probably bring me back immediately. I have a decent network of folks so it might be time to find a new, mo-better, higher paying gig. |
