  1. Plain Heathen Mischief sure was a disappointing follow-up effort.
  2. Netflix series Marcella was good.
  3. Today I met a mythical Via Chicago member known to wander the Eastern seaboard.
  4. I'm at a loss to describe how much I dig this writer.
  5. Family forum, asshat.
  6. For some reason when I read your post it occurred to me I have no idea who the evening anchors are for ABC, CBS or NBC. It's amazing how irrelevant they've become. When I was a little kid they were a big fucking deal.
  7. Anyone else think there's a decent chance Trump would be assassinated before ever taking office if actually elected?
  8. I'm only 1/4 way through but this guy may be my new favorite modern writer. God damn is he efficient. Has the almost unsettling frankness that reminds me of Vonnegut, but his phrasing is so unique and colorful. Felt like I KNEW the characters just pages in. He's really something.
  9. Trying Clark's first book today.
  10. this, on the other hand, was just freaking fantastic. https://youtu.be/FHKM6SvRbpI
  11. the Houston show was impressive. These setlists are impressive. I would do without the 4 encores... I am probably in the minority on this one but I think Reeves is a really bad fit for this band. No doubt he's a talented player but his massively overdriven, saturated, distorted tones and trem-bar antics just don't fit the material in my opinion.
  12. Phase 90: Mode: 4 STG Regen: III III III Waveshape: SINE Headroom: III III III III Depth: 3 o'clock This gets me pretty close to the old script MXR Phase 90. And yes, I like the Whirlwind Orange Box better than all the Phase 45s, Phase 90s, Phase 100s, VFE Enterprise, Keeley Phase 45 and Mobius settings I've tried. There is something so perfect about its sweep that I don't hear in any of the others. Never a part in the sweep with the tone isn't musical.
  13. more on Mobius: Phase 45 Here's an example of why I love the pedal so much with an expression pedal. I have a setting I saved called "Phase 45." I set it up as follows: Mode: 2 STG Regen: III III III Waveshape: SINE Headroom: III III III III Depth: (see below) The way I've saved the preset is with speed around 25 BPM and depth at about 3 o'clock, but I really rely on the expression pedal. When I set it up, I saved the "heel" setting with speed around 13.6 BPM and depth around 3 o'clock, and saved the "toe" setting with the speed at about 444 BPM and the depth at about 10 o'cloc
  14. The great thing about the crayon/colour box is if you just dial down the guitar volume a bit, you can get amazing overdrive tones. You can also turn down the gain on the pedal and just use it as a really great EQ/boost.
  15. How did you know the tick was angry?
  16. forgot about this. I have both the Colour Box and the Crayon. I was sure I'd sell the Colour Box once I got the Crayon but just can't do it. They are both incredible pedals, although I'll add the disclaimer that they very much seem to be a personal taste thing (I've read of tons of players who couldn't bond with them). I tend to set mine fairly loud and really fuzzed out (the Revolution sound) and then roll back on the guitar volume to get about 10 different shades of clean to OD to totally clipping fuzz. I also really like to use the low end cut feature, roll the tone down and get some a
  17. Mobius: I'm convinced that people who don't like this pedal didn't give it time. I've probably got about 22-25 saved settings that I've labored over for a year or more, I don't use a single factory preset. The expression pedal and a few tricks I've learned with the formant just take it over the top. I'll have to sit down with it and send you some specific settings I've found (if you're interested), but one right off the bat I LOVE is setting up a flanger with depth on 0. In the grey or silver machine, find the spot on the regen and manual settings that you like in a fixed position and sav
