I built it myself
This site has been through all sorts of revisions. So have all my other sites. One of the things that has always bothered me is the simple act of having a contact form or email subscription form.

Shaping My Tone For Metal
My gigging board has changed a bunch over the years, but has reached its *final form for my metal band. I tried the chorus for a while but it wasn’t the vibe, so why not three drive pedals instead? Gain staging == metal? Bass – Sterling Stingray 24H – set up B-E-A-D with EB Beefy…

When bored, do something silly.

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…
