Sounds horrible

On a side note, Lindsay from The Mylene Sheath has been *BaTsHiT* crazy on facebook lately.  Like, racist, mentally unhinged crazy.  It's really, really, really sad. 

Did any of you guys have a personal connection with her?  Something is very, very clearly unwell with her. 

WTF? Really? What's going on there? Not "friended" with her on FB, so I'm not seeing anything (actually don't even know who of all Lindsays out there she is...)

since we're bumping this, god what i wouldn't give for an affordable repress of Frames + EIP. see them regularly on my wishlist for a very hefty 3 figures.

I still can't believe I managed to snag one of the /100 red presses of Frames...love that record!

This new post-rock album may be of particular interest to members of Vinyl Collective because it is released in “digital vinyl format”: 
the 56 minute album is designed to be listened to from start to finish, but it is presented in three multi-song tracks in order to preserve continuity, 
much in the same way that listening to a vinyl record is an event, un-cheapened by modern convenience.

haha, what?

$60 + $45 shipping to Germany...fuck that! I hope some EU distri will sell them...

Awesome amps!

Got a question for you guys. Earlier in the year, my nephew was serving in the Air Force in England and came back to live with us for a little bit until his next gig started. He left behind a Marshall 15W combo amp because he didn't have room in his car (It's an MG15CFX).  It's in great shape, but it's got a UK plug and it's 230v. It's basically useless here unless I want to buy some kind of converter, but is there a market for these kinds amps in the States?

Well, it’s $159 new...would guess that used ones sell for around $100. Maybe another 1/3 off because of the plug...Don’t think you’ll get more than $70 for it

Wear a mask

Awesome rigs!

Sorry to bump this thread again...but just gave it a listen after quite some while. Man, this album rips! I love it! Probably my favorite CoL record!

this fucking rips!!!

Thanks man! It’s a fantastic pedal...instant doom when you put any kind of OD/distortion in front of it. Infinite sound walls...

Never assembled something easier than this It's really only cutting the ends and screwing the plugs on the cable! Seriously, nothing can go wrong here!

Awesome, thanks for the tip!  I think i'm going to go with George L's because they're on Amazon and I have a gift card haha.  Seems like the same thing as 3Monkeys. 

Is this what you got though?

Yeah, those are the ones I’m talking about. Haven’t heard bad of the George L. ones, but never tried them. Only thing I can say is that they probably aren’t as small as the 3Monkeys. Never seen anything that small. And the cable is very thin and flexible on top...

@Sasan
Those Lava cables, they are the ones that are a pain in the ass to put together, right?  You've got to strip the cable, make sure the ends go into the shielding but not the wire, etc etc?

I just don't know who to use.  My board moves around a lot, and everybody seems to offer the same thing...  is there really one brand that's better than another?

Yeah, the Lava Mini ELC where a PITA imo. I mean for all cables, you’ll need to  strip the cable etc, but the lava ones are so unreliable. No matter how tight you fixed the „screw“, I always faced problems when I transported my board... the sound was gone and you had to check 40 patch cables for a loose connection...that sucked. 
 

it’s either soldered cables (which in my opinion is the most reliable way, but the plugs will never be as tiny as the solderless ones) or the 3Monkeys. They are small, easy to assemble and I haven’t  faced any problems, yet!

Bumping this old piece of sh*t in order to let the Caspian thread die...

Here's a picture of a SUNN MODEL T Preamp that I've built

No offense to Caspian but should we start a thread?  

There actually is one...dying somewhere between the "Shower Farts" and "Condoms"-threads...shall we revive the other thread?

god damn dude!
 

also, what are you using for cabling?  I like the looks of this, and I'm in the process of preparing to neaten up my board when I put a few new things on it (DD-6, Digitech Obscura).

These were Lava Mini ELC Cables & Plugs...a pain in the ass! Switched to 3Monkeys solderless cables which are expensive but damn, they are fine!

I'd rather solder cables myself, but solderless plugs are way smaller than the ones to be soldered.

Here's my old one (last year), too heavy to carry around...therefore I downsized; will take a picture of the new one in the next days.

my current board minus Afterneath. What are you guys running?

Nice, Im building the Life Pedal anytime soon. Still waiting for some parts to arrive

I highly recommend the Walrus Slo for reverb. Nothing I’ve played comes close. 
currently stacking it with Caverns V2 and EQD Afterneath.

Not sure, played the Slö some time and only found the Dream Mode to be useable; the rest was too „normal“...

i like how this thread turned into a pedal thread 😂👍

damn dude, i didn't know you played too!  I'm getting a DD-6 soon, as well as a Digitech Obscura so I can do some backwards stuff.  Jared from Appalaches uses the DD-6 for his smearing of the sound.... it's perfect in those songs like "Oja" and "Milsai"

Yeah, for like 20 years now...had some sort of a 5-year break though...now it’s hard to find some time with two kids.

Dude that collection is amazing!! I think I’m like 20 records short on mine, I want to start buying them up but I have stop buying guitar pedals first.

I found that buying guitar pedals is even worse and more expensive than vinyl...I need to stop this as well 🥴

I think in the past 3 years, I bought ~200 pedals 🙈🙊

Nice. Didn’t know they are still active as a band...

Also, i caved and bought "Frames" for $85.  Free shipping, sealed...    It helped abate the sadness for a little bit.  I regret nothing. 

Commemorative 9 11 T-Shirt & Frames are worth the $85 alone...

Oh man.  Thank you for bringing them up.  I completely fucking forgot about that band.  They were a top 3 set at Dunk 2 years ago.  Fucking incredible.

They played dunk two years ago? Can’t remember them 🤔
