Torn Awesomeness

heel down

sorry for multiple fuzz boxes

more later

volume pedal favorite setting

improv, mucking around in realtime (known in some realms as a pretty fancypants l'il hat-trick) under stormclouds & winter thunder.

ronin blooey guitar, fryette amps, DOD Boneshaker distortion pedal, eventide space

green eye side eye blue

yeah, improv.
2 hexe reVOLVER pedals.
ronin "blooey" guitar.
fryette d120 amp.
neunaber slate reverb pedal, digitech obscura delay pedal.
BLUE mic.

another day of didn't

improv, just checking out a fresh set of the new scalar original nickel strings w/my d'pergo green lantern guitar; i like them, so far!
11-48.
any tuning problems were my own, as usual.

in widda

semi-ruminatory improv with AnalogMan's SunBender MarkIV; gaaaaah! 
ronin mirari guitar (blooey)
SunBender MkIV, fryette d120 amp, fryette power station, digitech obscura delay, neunaber slate reverb
blue mouse mic, sebatron mic-pre

colors of my south away

this is a companion track for "colors of my south away", but WITHOUT the AnalogMan SunBender MkIV fuzz-pedal.
why?
because my friend mike asked me how dirty my amp had been set-up for that other recording, and this is the answer..... though i accidentally made this 12.7% wetter.

straitfacejacket

another stray improv with Analogman's Sunbender MkIV fuzz.....

strays mark4 number 3

improv with the wonderful, rich PTD rotobone fuzz; just pushing things around, today.
when push comes to shrug, the harder they sprawl, won & all.



i found this unfinished splattercell track, circa 1999.
there was a whole 'nother release in the making, at the time: it was meant to be completely electronic, but little guitar things like this kept slipping through: then, they all just slipped away, didn't they?

thegtra 1999 eq

..... wandering around with one of my favorite fuzz pedals, the PTD MiniBone. the pedal remained in one setting, though changes were made to guitar volume, tone & reverb level in real-time.

little bhasat

my first improvised clip with the first finished Ronin MorningStar guitar, with its brand-new StrataFoil pickups..... 

indigold

another improv w/the new Ronin Morningstar guitar.

glimpsed a 2-tailed wanderer

well, i intended to improvise a nice demo of JoeGore's freaking great & quickly flexible Filth-fuzz, and this is what happened; yup.


i plead the

blooey's first improvised ride on the digitech dirty robot.
we didn't read the manual, we jes' saddled-up!

mylittleponybot

more improvitisationes with ronin blooey & the digitech angry robot.

oh, and occasionally, i fire up an Analogman SunBender MkIV pedal.

there's a wee intro with no Angry Robot & no SunBender --- just guitar, delay/reverb & amp.

or ifs or ands or

here's my very 1st clip with the catalinbread bicycle delay; 
in keeping with the spirit of the pedal's design, it's a live improvisation without pre-conception..... i tweaked the sounds, and let the sounds lead me.
