I think it was always going to become the Demerzel show eventually. Lee Pace and Jared Harris are really carrying though. I really like the series writing but even if I didnāt, those two are worth watching.

Last time he focused all his attention on Tesla, they grunted out a steaming pile of Cybertruck. So this ought to be good.

Glock is short for glockenspiel which is what the company set out to make but accidentally had one of their factory machines set to āgunā so they just ran with it.

To an extent, I think the key here is being yourself. If you are naturally kinda shy and donāt make eye contact well, trying to force it will give off the serial killer vibe I think. Iām not the most confident and extroverted person, but some women have found that charming. One married me.

Here is where I am now. Back to the homemade pedals and BYOC looper for control. BK Butler Tube Driver, BYOC Flanger, phase 45, chorus, and homemade germanium fuzz face in a custom sandblasted enclosure to match my unpainted aesthetic :) 14/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
New board, mostly the same pedals. The Baja Real Tube Overdrive makes a reappearance and the excellent Big Spender rotating speaker simulator is now in the mix. To combat tone loss Iām back with the BYOC Super8 looper. 13/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Short lived and overly complicated setup. Using the effects loop in the amp, the lower row was before the amp and the upper row was in the loop. The footswitch on the left switch amp channels. This pedalboard ultimately was too noisy and killed too much high end. Full description in alt text 12/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
The one where I sold my soul to Mooer I need some more varied overdrive. But my homemade pedals (while sounding excellent) are not space economical. So after some research and experimentation I found Mooer pedal clones to sound dead on to the pedals they are cloning. Full desc in alt text 11/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Looper time These pedals are all now controlled through a BYOC Super8 Looper. Wah pedal is back on the board, main dirt pedal is still the BYOC Big Muff Pi and overdrive is still the Baja Real Tube Overdrive and I now have a BYOC Tube Screamer for lead tones. Full description in alt text 10/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Gig board Continued Swapped in the BYOC Flanger which sounds great but is somewhat overpowering so I use with a Boss LS-2 blending it 50% with the dry tone for a more balanced sound. Also added a Ditto Looper because why not. Full description in alt text 9/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Gig Board We played Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh and this is what I used. Added a volume pedal, ditched the RAT in favor of a BYOC Big Muff clone (which can do a passable RAT impression with the tone stack bypassed) and added a tuner because I don't like the tuner clipped to their headstock. 8/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Board used in recording studio We laid down a track and this is a picture of my board in the studio. Realized the Tube Overdrive is better after the Muff and RAT. I finally admitted I am not getting the sound I want from the Electric Mistress clone and broke down and bought the real thing. 7/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Finally got a real board, no more Ikea desk part with handles! Phase 45 is back! GGG EA Tremelo added (I don't like trems, but one song needed it). The wah returned but was short lived, I just can't be bothered to stand in one place, it's bad enough I have to tap dance between songs :) 6/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Because I know what all of the knobs do... All Dymo Labels removed! Re-ordered, dropped the TS808 clone in favor of a RAT clone, got rid of the Phase 45 (that didn't last long, I can't be without that pedal), and ditched the Fuzz Face and Wah as I pretty much never use them at this stage. 5/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Getting a little too big Same as before, added a BYOC Chorus on top of the flanger and now sporting a RG Keen designed Univibe clone (NeoVibe). Forever rearranging order. 4/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
It's all homemade, baby Now sporting a clear rip off of Analogman's BiComp (Ross compressor and Orange squeezer in a single enclosure with an always-on buffer) and a GGG Phase 45 Kit. It also has a Baja Real Tube Overdrive (a largely overlooked and unknown jewel in the world of pedal kits) 3/14
MarkE (@tnlsofdoom.bsky.social) reply parent
Replaced the TO800 with a GGG TS808 clone and added a Deluxe Electric Mistress clone built with a GGG circuit board and a REAL RETICON SAD1024 chip (I have like 5 of them still :) Remaining description in alt text 2/14

Evolution of my guitar pedalboard. Get ready for some loud noise theory. This spans about two decades. I only started discovering pedal kits at this point, so I still have my original MXR Phase 90 and Dynacomp as well as my Behringer TO800 Tube Screamer Clone. Detailed description in alt text 1/14
