The Muffketball Diaries

Can a big muff make a band specifically, when talking about glorified cover bands like Wolf Mother and the Silversun Pickups?

need a deep dive into jazz fx pedals next please

Oh yea Skerik does do a lot of intersting stuff with fx.. Miles had a wah wah and tthen some in BB, OTC, Agharta, and Live Evil..

here's a good one


Been seeing a lot of effects added in jazz lately, be it pedals or laptop samples and its a mixed bag. A lot of it is a shortcut. Also seen some absolute masters get a cornucopia of sounds from their instrument without an electrical aid..

speaking of samples..

In 1968, the same year that Anthony Braxton made his first solo LP "For Alto", Joe McPhee began a series of home recordings, assisted by his friend and future producer Craig Johnson. McPhee had initially worked as a trumpeter, and he'd only picked up tenor saxophone earlier in the year. Along with his very first documentation on tenor, these tracks included solo recorder and a starling "sound on sound" recording, an early commercial overdubbing technique. In years to follow, McPhee would sometimes use the multitrack recorder in performance, referring to it as his Survival Unit. McPhee continued these highly experimental recordings in 1970 and 1973, using instruments not usually associated with him, including deftly manipulated microphone feedback, nagoya, harp, and Space Organ (a Wurlitzer), which he combined with tenor saxophone and the tour-de-force "Cosmic Love".

I was about to recommend one anyways so thanks for the additional info. In my opinion the Orange Micro Terror is one of the best around. It's very small but loud as shit and can be had for about a $100 used, however it is just the amp head so you will need a speaker cabto play through. The amp is awesome though, you can plug it into any size guitar cab, it's got aux in to jam along with some tunes and a headphone jack for silent practice. I had one, sold it and then bought another one again because they're great. I even have a spare cabinet I can send you, and a speaker too if you want, just sitting in the practice space unused. If you want to get your own I recommend at least a 10" speaker, the 8s can be a little weak.

Right on. I've already been peeping craigslist. I also saw a few Orange amps on reverb. There was a B52 AT 100 with a cabinet on cl, but that is probably way more than I really need. The neighbors would hate me. It was a good price, I think, but on the high end of my range.
