Hello everyone!
I've lurked here for some time now, gathering intel on fuzzes and such and snickering at your irreverent conversations. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to pedals; always just used amp gain in the past, and nowadays only record DI due to apartment dwelling. But, I have been discovering the kind of gainier tones I want can only be had through pedals, having demoed and re-demoed every amp VST over the years. And here I am!

I joined a long time ago but never really posted or introduced myself. I started playing guitar when I was 13, and it was all high gain distortion all the time; heavy metal and humbuckers. Now I've grown to really appreciate clean tones and how it can be a blank canvas for splattering with fuzz. I play a tele and a strat into a '79 Vibrolux, which is funny because for the longest time I hate all things Fender, especially Strats.

Hi!
I'm from France and in love with dirt boxes, delay, reverb, offset guitars and analog synths.
In my setup, you could find stuff from Iron Ether, Dwarfcraft Devices, Devi Ever, Smallsound/Bigsound and EarthQuaker Devices.
I guess that won't be very shocking here. ;)

See you!

Newb here, I've lurked for a while after growing more and more tired of TGP land. I'm starting to pick up some more unusual effects for the next AO record, and I've already found some great new builders in my time here.

Nice avatar! It looks like a mix of the album covers of Kraftwerk's "Electric Cafe" and Coldplay's "A Rush Of Blood To The Head".

I just listened to your tracks of the "After Osmosis EP". They sound really good. Not exactly my cup of tea, but very well done! :thumb:

Hello.

I've been checking this place out on and off for a while now and thought it was about time I posted. I've got a neat little collection of pedals out here in Los Angeles that can't cover up my terrible guitar playing.

Nice pickguard in your avatar. Is that DIY?
