It’s when the muscle memory is so ingrained that I’m switching pickups and controls when it’s unplugged 😂😂

hahaha

i've seen folks do that before. more often i've seen players constantly turning their guitar volume up despite it clearly being up all the way, like an OCD/nervous tick.

Oh damn yeah I absolutely do this. Obsessively re-tuning after every song as well, although I'm trying to get out of that habit.

I love that in old footages Hendrix sounds sloppy and out of tune when he noodles but the second the beat and the groove drop he sounds like god being reincarnated

i've had this habit of over-tuning as well. getting better at and trusting my intonation skills i think helped, but there's still a nag to do it anyway in the back of my head.

For a good while now I’ve been playing a single channel amp with the band (either Origin or Bassman) and my main board sounds great with them, but I’ve been missing my Rockerverb at times. So I put together this “mini” board which has a patch bay so I can put effects through the FX loop if I want. Tuner, Compadre and ODR in the front, the rest in the loop.

Added a cheapo noise suppressor turned all the way up to use as a kill switch. And Korg kaoss pad. Picture from Salford gig.

How does the Kaoss pad get used? Was always interested in them but didn't have the imagination to see a use case for one.

Or have Fashion Tips gone in a different direction and are now a Muse tribute?

To be fair it's not heavily used at the moment. I am effectively using it as a noise machine for the end of songs. Using the many looper patches to mangle notes. But it is being used during a new song in a similar way, but as part of the song. I have it in my FX loop as there is a dB boost in the vox FX loop. as the Kaoss Pad drops volume a bit.

Some great looking boards, Hurb and Thom.

Surprised Korg haven’t made a guitar/pedalboard friendly kaoss pad with guitar level signals and 1/4 in and outs .

I can't remember what state this was in last time I posted it, but there's been a few reshuffles of late. So here we are...

I did have two DD3s for quite a while, but those are both gone currently. I did have the tuner at the beginning of the chain for a bit (I'm told that's the "normal" way) but recently moved it back. I always enjoy the convenience of being able to mute everything in one fell swoop. I don't have much need for the Silencer anymore now that I'm generally using humbuckers again (the Silencer was originally mainly there to tame Tele bridge pickup squeal), but once your signal has been this clean/sharp it's hard to go back, even if basically no-one listening can tell the difference. The wall-wart for my power brick shit the bed and the replacement one I bought didn't work, so I've switched back to a daisy chain. I feel like I'm not using anything that draws enough power to need a brick anyway, plus it frees up some space, which I'm considering filling with an Earthquaker Acapulco Gold at some point. "CONDOMS" tin is full of plectrums, a capo and an allen key.

So I've been putting this together the past couple days.

There aren't actually anymore pedals (I am pretty happy with what I have for once) but with the bigger board( metal peg board painted black and cut to size) I can fit the expression pedal on that normally gets put to the side and thrown in cables bag at gigs. The Kaoss Pad can now fit, and the big bugger on the right is a circuit Rhythm sampler. Switched in and out of the pedal board with the boss line selector. The idea is, I've sampled my own guitar noises that I can trigger and fuck with some more with pedals and Kaoss Pad when I can't be bothered to stand up and actually play guitar.
It's way too fucking big and heavy.
