Budget Glitch Delay for Bass?
I’ve been looking for an inexpensive glitch effect for ambient bass experiments. Last week, JHS released 3 digital effects: Glitch Delay, Bit Crusher, and Ring Mod. I jumped on the Glitch Delay as soon as the demo played. At only $99 it was too tempting! Will it perform well with bass? Let’s find out!

Experimenting with loop pedals
Eventually, I hope to be able to live stream these sessions. It’s all a learning process and I like capturing things live. No point in trying to clean it up and make it “perfect” for the internet. This isn’t going on an album… but it could! There’s no rule that says you can’t release your…

Building a New Pedal Board
A while back, I found myself in need of a pedal board to hold a modest amount of hardware for various gigs. I only really needed a tuner, compressor, and DI, but I made it a bit bigger so it could hold a few more things. A fuzz and then a utility slot for whatever…

Today is the shortest day of the year. The end of the growing darkness we’ve been through for the past six months. Tomorrow, and each day after,…

Pushing Through
Yet again, I almost didn’t write an article this week. I’ve written a fair amount already. My book is sitting at 5,721 words which sets me at 4,149 words over the past seven days. Almost 600 words per day. I’m pretty happy with that. I’ve not been trying to stick to 500 words per day,…

Don’t Forget to Write
I did. I totally forgot to write this article. It was supposed to come out yesterday, which means I would have written it the day before that. I forgot. It was for a good reason though! Promise. I set a goal this year. It’s not a resolution, I don’t do those. Resolutions tend to be…
