yes! this kp-3 doesn't need a booster pedal like the mini did, which is cool. I need to spend time with it as its quite the beast.
as for the dano pedal, after hearing the foxx tone machine and loving it, I had to get one...however I needed to get the cheapo dano copy more!

I feel slightly responsible, indirectly. Great little pedal, isn't it? Octave on, fuzz right down, is a thing of beauty. Tell me about you rJag, not seen that before.

Hats off to NickD for the bro-dealin' hours of fun!
I've got it tuned up to G since the shortyshorty scale makes things a little flabby. I might put some 11s on it, although it might cause the trustrod-free neck to bend even further. Might be okay tuned to standard though.
The best part is the speaker distortion when you have the volume up high
Also has headphones out and a normal jack for big amp/little axe rock fun!

I just know it'll find it's way onto some recordings in the near future.

YOU KNOW IT.
I wanted to do a minimal more "odd" song for the WK album, this may well be the perfect catalyst.

I bet Spud has a "Lo-Fi" plugin on his Cubase setup
Nah, in all honesty, he's more up for experimentation nowadays- the new recordings are a lot rawer (in a good way) than the last EP, we stuck an ambient mic in the room for some of the lead overdubs, recorded one guitar intro by just micing the electric guitar itself, and so on.

Nice one. We're not doing studio recordings anymore, we're just DIYing it. The results are a lot more true to life, even if the drums aren't real because we don't have anywhere to record them.

Could you not just record them at the practise room, then overdub the rest of the band later?

Not really. The practise rooms we use are too loud (several units in a single warehouse, lots of Metal bands that play extremely loud, there would be too much bass leakage to get a recording worth using). The TD-20 is still John's playing and it sounds good to us, which is all that matters. Your typical music fan isn't going to be able to tell the difference, fuck snobbery.
We could maybe do it on a weekend when there are less bands playing but it involves a lot of fucking about, decamping our entire recording setup involving PC and Mixer, Mics, Stands etc to the practise room and it would take at least 2 hours to setup the kit and get it mic'd up to our liking.
