“Don’t privatise essential infrastructure”? I bet that’s not the lesson they learned, but it definitely is the one they need to

That’s the trade off for a larynx capable of speech

This is the way. AR goggles are cool. AR goggles that send everything you do, and everything you see (and eventually everything you look at) back to meta/google/amazon/apple aren’t cool at all. Open source goggles with an open source LLM, that’s the cyberpunk shit I’ve been waiting for since I was a teenager

I’ve not played a Hoof, but from what I know of it, the Hoof is more of a straight-up Muff circuit. There’s a lot more tone-shaping on the Zvex due to the sub and PW control.

 

I’m mystified how this isn’t a more well-known pedal, it’s about the most perfect fuzz tone to my ear. The sub switch takes it from a high, sizzling tone that cuts through a mix like a saw, right through to the noise of an earthquake. It’s in a similar realm to the Carcosa (which I reckon is probably the best value fuzz ever made, really versatile) but a bit weirder and heavier. Joyous.

Close enough for the girls I go out with

As Yoda says, “start or start not, there is no try 14 times and then the problems randomly fixes its self just as the killer breaks the windows or whatever”

But also worth remembering that kid who made a nuclear reactor in his shed. Ai wasn’t around back then, but if it had been then, maybe, juuuust maybe….

Yeah, that’s immediately jarring

Or to put it another way, “EU and rest of the world, and most of the US wants literally anyone other than the felonious senile tango man to be in charge of the big red button”

Did you know that if you take all your blood vessels out and lay them end to end, you’ll die!

I’d think that the smart ones will desert as soon as they can

Golden Fool by Gome? (Probably not, but brilliant track anyway)

 
 

Bunged a couple of pedals from the B-team box onto a little board I’d bashed together a while ago. I’ve had to cut the right-hand end down a bit to plug the Dirty Robot in.

I’ve been using this on synths, just as a bit of fun really. The dirty robot is fantastic, and very versatile. Seems redundant, using a synth pedal on a synth, but on rhythms it does all sorts of joyous things. The Bass Overdrive is a great little budget drive, and the wet/dry mix and low/hi tone shaping makes it well suited for synths. The Aurora is a nice, simple delay that you can manhandle nicely, and the Exosphere is a reverb that can be rather wild especially with the Little Monster expression switch.

 

I have a couple of things I’m not managing to do - I can’t seem to search posts, only instances/users etc, and can’t block whole instances from the app. Am I doing something wrong, or are these just features that don’t work in version one on iOS? Thanks

Seeing the last Gunship tube posted reminded me of this absolute beast of a tune
