Members AidyCM Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 Why are you driving that Prius? Bleugh! You need a FERRARI. You'll never take it over 70, but WHY would you want an average-ass car like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BEMUSofNthAmrca Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 OP, I know what you mean.It's useless to discuss gear with some musicians. No big deal. Some know more than others.If I'm working with a player I respect, who doesn't know anything about effects or amps, I offer to help them out. If they don't care enough to learn, I don't bother.Some people just don't care what gear they use. Crazy! I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members npfrs Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 I was having a convo with the new girl I'm dating the other day and started to go on about getting a new effects pedal for my pedalbaord - she stopped me the second I said "pedalboard" because it was like I was speaking a foreign language.Which is funny because she speaks English, German, French, and some Norwegian.

Members AidyCM Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 My wife now knows so much about gear that she decides most of my purchases. 'Aidy, you already have 3 delays!'. I love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 Its even worse trying to explain it to non musicians."What do you do?""I am a writer and guitar pedal builder.""What's a guitar pedal?""Its something you plug your guitar into to make it sound different before it goes to your amp."Oh...so like before you plug the guitar into the wall it goes into this?""...um...sure."

It's always fun explaining to new people what I do for a living. I have learned that most people know what a wah is, so I typically say I build things like that, even though I {censored}ing hate wah.

Yeah, people usually ask if it's like a wah wah if they don't know that much about it but know a little about rock music. My cousin's girlfriend asked me, though, "So, like a fuzzbox?" I was like...yes exactly. (stunned). She says, yeah that's all I know. Fuzzbox. No idea what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is stupid who doesn't have a Bogner. I must have missed the memo. Maybe with the right insider information, the multiple Bogner references in completely unrelated threads might be hilarious. Without that information (if it exists), it's just annoying. Please stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, point made already - enough's enough. I have stopped for some hours now, even apologizing in one thread where I was taken seriously. Just parodying the Bogner craze for a bit even though I knew it not to be hilarious. I thought I stopped just in time before it got too annoying Apologies again.

So many builders have taken that into consideration and modified the standards to reach wider audiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
