Wow thanks for the detailed post, muchos gracias. A lot to take on lol.

Basically my little orange micro dark with 8” cab sounds ace when you turn it right up but it’s a bit anti-social, especially from a beginner so would be nice to get the fuzz without turning everything right up :/

Much appreciated, great video and that pedal sounds ace, certainly a contender.

I don’t really have the vocabulary to describe tone but it sounds like the Matcha is at the boomier/woofier end of the spectrum(to my ears at least).
I rather like a tighter/brighter fuzz sound, think recent fu manchu, white dog etc as well as the wild scratchy lead sounds like Isiah from earthless gets. A little doom is good but not looking for full blown sludge or chainsaw tones…

I know Bob from fu uses a Creepy Fingers which is made by his bandmates company and very much above budget.

Seems all the cheap pedals review fairly well just a case of deciphering which original they’re a copy of.

@RonAsheton yep, I imagine there’s far too many potential variables to give a definitive answer.

Sounds good. Currently watching a JHS vid about the different types of fuzz circuits. Fascinating stuff.
Like the sound of fuzzface.
Ideally something that does the job at lower volume lol.

Now browsing fuzz face clones :)

Recommend me a cheap first fuzz pedal? Baffling array of choice it seems, especially amongst the little ones on Amazon/reverb etc.
Going into a small tube amp, if there’s just a richness at one end and doom at the other that’d be great.

I saw a hot pink 14bikeco with baby pink front and white rear spoks a couple of months ago. SS with front brak only of course. Was a joy to behold.

Did someone on here grab it? Disappeared shortly after you posted the link.

That’s absolutely mindblowing. Props to both you and the artist.
Needs straps to turn it into bib shorts ;)

So I’ve been plugging away with the a minor pentatonic scale and can noodle around all positions pretty happily and go up and down with octave intervals n all that good shit.

Recommend me a good song to learn to put it together?

15months of full time community service with a straight to jail to serve the full sentence if they fail to show up on any day perhaps?

Our seating area is under our trees and we just do woodchip. Dandelions come through non stop but it does the job for us, just keep topping it up :)

Red is a bastard for me, purple for my partner. I think all inks hit different on different folks.
Whatever brand of black Malice uses is the absolute business. My tattoos from her are the only ones that have never triggered my psoriasis, irrespective of other factors like season, my overall health etc.

I was going on the advice of my Italian mate but a quick google suggests you’re correct.

Yes and yes.
We’re growing salad toms as well which seem to come in dribs and drabs which is fine.
We’ve also got some romas which are supposedly even more dense and used to make tomato paste.

All my kohl got destroyed in one night during slugageddon, that looks fantastic.
First proper tom haul :)

I haven’t got a scooby. I was thinking out loud from a place where I almost certainly lack the knowledge compared to others on here.

It all started with me being perfectly ok with the idea of rioters losing their council houses and spiralled a bit from there.
As you were everyone, happy to leave the debate to those with more experience of such things.

In a unicorn filled wonderland then yes, that would be nice.
Heck if I go down for a 10-stretch I’d come out the other side mortgage free!
Sign me up.

Of course I don’t want to break up families or make people homeless but fuck me, can’t we just accept the fact some people are proper cunts and can’t be trusted with a property if no-one’s keeping an eye on them?

So if I got jailed for rioting the government should pay my mortgage so my family don’t go without?

I find it difficult to rationalise giving a free house to a rioter/bigot/thief/insert crime of choice. Especially those with multiple previous convictions.
I’m paying a mortgage but if I got banged up for 2yrs I’d definitely be on the streets after release.

A safe place to sleep should absolutely be a human right, your own private home for nowt? Not sure.

The only situation it works is in a totally idealistic situation in my head where it simply helps people see the correlation between work/community/education and self worth. Everyone comes out the side of it with a new lease of life.

I’m not suggesting for one second it would actually work, let alone be free from all sorts of pitfalls and crappiness.

Nah, focus on training/education, not punishment.
I know it’s a fucking fine line and would probably be completely impossible to implement in a way not open to abuse(from both sides), but feel a middle-ground opportunity for some people that doesn’t result in them getting a criminal record/locked up but a real last-chance saloon could be beneficial in a lot of cases.

Even if we had enough council housing for every man, woman and child it should be revoked for serious crimes.

Unpopular opinion- a modernised form of workhouse(with full education, rehabilitation and work/social training facilities) should be introduced for persistent low-level offenders.
Keep them busy during the day, get some of the grotty jobs like litter picking on motorway junctions dealt with and hopefully instill some work ethic in those that have been left behind.
A short stint in somewhere like that would have been very beneficial to me in my early 20s.

100% behind this approach.
No one should be homeless in 2024 but some folks need reminding a council house is a privilege. Seeing some of the arrest videos I’d be seeking evictions based on how poorly they treat the properties.

Looks like some local councils will be evicting tenants involved in rioting according to the Indy this morning. It just keeps getting funnier.

Gosh, that’s very different, mine is practically black it’s so dark and solid.
I like the streaky personally!

Did you see the granny leaning out of her window above Hoe St with ‘fuck the nazis’ sign taped to her walking stick? Biggest cheer of the evening I think
