My friend Collin from Scotland once had to write the word "Merge" on a cocktail napkin, to get me to understand "MEEEEh-RRDGGGggg". It WAS in a loud bar, though.

that's easy, it's quite similar to french for 'shit'.

That's what I thought he was saying at first.

I really enjoyed watching that. So many great sounds, and its nice to hear people in the know confirm some great sounds are achieved by cascading a certain pedal into another. I've been happy with the Sovtek Muff>TS dual sound for a long time, but im tempted to start trying out some other combinations. Its time to dig out the Fuzz Faces, Blue Box and the good old HM-2.

It's SOL-Der.

Have never understood why people say it a different way.

I've even seen it spelt saude by people who clearly know their way around electronics in a few places.

Saude?

I forget what I was looking for but it involved soldering, I was met with the following:

Saude
Sauder
Soder

SOLDER.

Kind of unrelated, but my friend lived in London for a while as a kid, and he remembers being in school and having to write about what they did at the weekend. The guy sitting next to him wrote about watching a race and seeing Nijuu Mansuu win.

In French, it's "soudre", no l's.
That makes it an easy conversion to "soder", in English.
...Or so I would think.

The Tonebender MK II gave me a bonar, does anyone know of a fair priced clone?

didn't mike do one for progrob?

Gavin · Post by **Gavin** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:41 am

He said fair priced. Mike should be paying people to accept that junk.

Sodder grates my ears as much as 'toob' for tube. I realise it's an accent thing but I have to remind myself that when I have the reaction of thinking someone is an idiot because they've just said Toosday.

yes indeed. it was based on the marshall supa fuzz variant, though i think the circuit is the same. it's a really good fuzz. i think mine was only Â£50 and mike did a great job as well.
