Really, it’s not schadenfreude:

That’s just pure bloodletting, altho’ a single line did the same job for Prince Mayberry:
“The bottle of whisky and the pearl-handled revolver were laid out for him. And they were laid out for him by his mother,” one source told The Daily Beast.

You do realize people stop watching the news vids if we have to see ads?
We’ll simply search for an ad-free re-pub, or skip it.

It’s changed again, but here it was:

Ampeg Opto Bass compressor: nice and round and kinda spongy on bass, not as tight as the BBE non-mustache or even the Meek racks, I really like it on funk stuff where it makes pick playing sound … funky.
BBE Windowpane: a silicon distortion pedal that never sounds clean, all the way to blown-out. Very cool in that no bottom is lost on bass, and it sounds great on guitar, also.
Rowin slow hand: a really cheap (but true bypass) take on the classic Slow Gear, what I wanted for when I get all shoe-gazey.
EHX OpAmp Muff: i am totally loving these nano muffs, so cool to just change out a pedal and get a different but compatible sound when stacking rhythm guitar tracks, and they all (I also have the Triangle and my fave, the Green Russkie) feel different but sound great. This is the one they been callin’ “Corgan inna box”, and I hear why.
=====================
TWA envelope filter – pretty good auto wah, better on guitar than bass, but switchable for each
Aguilar Octamizer – went immediately on my main bass board, knocking off the Meatball
EHX Nano Green Russian Muff – best muff I’ve heard on bass
Wren&Cuff Pickle Pie – pretty good GR muff with a blend, but the EHX is better on bass (not as smoove) so it’ll be for guitar*
Triangle Big Muff: just now got it
*a collateral observation: the W&C can fully cop the EHX, and do tons more, besides. But I like the EHX for a live board better, because it defaults to the sound I want, so tho’ it is significantly less flexible, it is much easier to use, what lets me drink more when I play** – It’s a science, see.
**these was all ordered re a certain band and recording project, and we never got a set drummer, and now one of the guitarists left, so, well, I’ll be recording most of it meself (some with anuvver guitarist), and that also lets me drink more when I play.
=====================
BYOC Envelope Filter/Fixt wah – you build it and I’ll mebbe buy it! Very nice on guitar, I’m considering the mod for bass. Or not. (I have the 5 knob BYOC multi-compressor, also, and it’s a treat.)
Pigtronix Envelope Phaser – now this is what I been looking for! No severe volume shifts, great sound, totally controllable and useably subtle or deeply funky. Hadda a buy a 9@18v. converter to not have to use the wall wart when it’s on my daisy-chain powered board, so that added US$20, but it’s worth it.
Yeah, I love it at like 8-10:00, tone at 8-9:00. It has just the right amount of SVT-ish grind without becoming fuzz right there.
Yesterday I made a board of the Green Russian amd Triangle Nanos along with a Mastrotron.
The Triangle is much hotter than the GR, and also sounds good on the bass, but can’t get the subtle grind.
The Mastrotron is anuvver Zvez craziness-incarnate, tho’ not as wild as say, the Wooly Mammoth or Fuzz Factory.
I used the board with a looper into a clean SS amp (Trademark 10) and was wankin’ with a Xavier semi-hollow LP-type guitar with P90-types.
Running either nano into the Mastrotron was pure bliss – just so cool.
The nanos did not stack well into each other.
But that GR – I’m really thinking of swapping out the Pork Loin I replaced the Hot Tubes with on my bass board …

Inna a discussion with Nick at LO, I was caused to reflect:
Yeah, I usually prefer live stuff, even when it’s tweaked.
Prob’ly told the story before, but back around ’95 or so, having been in bands since about ’83, my then-bassist said to my kinda amazement, “you are a musician”.
I mean, I was inna rock band, y’know?
But the thing was, when I heard that it was a revelation of sorts, that I could actually do what musicians do, as opposed to just playing inna garage band – I could create music as art, as opposed to just copying it.
Of course, my aesthetic is garage band anywhat, but I fully embrace the title of, “musician creating art”.
