it occured to me that i've not heard this pedal so i went to find a youtube demo and what did i get?

someone using a scooped mid-high gain sound, as his base sound for the demo.
some twat with a beard who was 90% natter natter and 10% annoying wanky playing. also using an overdriven sound for his base sound, fuzz loves cleans you dolt i don't want to hear your head's overdrive.
the good old guitar strings louder than the amp because it's recorded with a webcam.

* Apart from fuzzfaces - they tend to sound better through amps on the verge of breakup.

It's like quicksand at this point, the more you struggle, the deeper you bury yourself.

sorry that was a typo. my INERNET lingo is a bit off. i must admit, i would be lying if i said i owned any Ramones records or said that the Ramones were my favorite punk band from that era.

Fair enough. I only asked becuase it seemed to turn you off that he had a Ramones shirt. Wasn't sure if it was the fact he was sportin'a band t-shirt or if you really disliked the Ramones.

honestly. it wasn't that he was wearing a Ramones shirt (which, whether that is a punk rock cliche or not is debatable...) but the fact that he was rocking it w/ a flannel shirt & a baseball cap that really didn't match. i think you could say would be circumspect fashion-wise.

actually. it was the Ramones shirt that was his saving grace. IMO. it definitely stuck out in my eyes. that i used the dealmaker/dealbreaker usage wrong was really not the point.

capiche???

Haaa...right on. I think I'm rocking a flannel (in fabric not pattern) and Clash shirt in my avatar :lol:

I have a very deep love for flannel. It keeps me warm.

The Ramones are really, really boring. They're like the AC/DC of punk. Some of the stuff was good but there was way too much of the same thing.

but wearing it open like that? if you were concerned w/ warmth you wouldn't wear it open. (& you'd also wear a sweater over it...)

but yeah i am not the fashion police. i am just giving y'all yet another reason to level ad hominem attacks & mudslinging at me. so fine, par for the course...

now that Clash. now were talking!!! i actually OWN Clash records & tapes...
