  2. Sig, the Voodoo Trem and the Muff have all the boxes/paperwork, and the Trem has a new switch. Here's a picture of the Muff, it has TB, a couple of mod switches, boosted volume and more... ...looking for cash, would consider a delay (must have reverse + self oscillation) or a cheap, natural sounding fuzz.
  3. Hey, while we're on this wonderful topic, I guess I'll throw in my two cents. The following of course are simply my opinions, but I firmly believe these opinions (b/c if I didn't, why the hell would I believe them, much less type them?) For one, music can suck. Let's stop being hippie's for a second and just say some music is bull{censored}. If you have nothing emotionally, or musically to say, no interesting sounds, no hooks, no beat, no soul, no lyrics, no innovative theory, you suck. Now it doesn't have to be all those things, but if you don't have one of those, you suck and that all there is to it. Some people value some things more than others, but if you don't have any of these, you blow. Also, this is hilarious... http://www.somethingawful.com/d/your-band-sucks/metal.php Second, yes, you can predict parts of a persons personality through their music. Is it set in stone, no, probable, yes. Although, it should be considered, you could also tell a lot about a person from just about anything, especially their trash. Third, why do people get so serious about this {censored}? My theory is people need something to identify with, and if it isn't religion, and it isn't family, and it isn't nationality, it's gonna' be Nikes, iPods, and Autobots. Well, I need to head to class. Say you know what {censored}ing kills me? Hipsters/indie kids that don't own an album by *any* of the following - The Rolling Stones, VU, Bowie, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Can, Kraftwerk, Neu! and Massive Attack. But you get that with every genre, and what it means is, is that you don't really listen to music, you just like a certain beat or sound, and eat whatever's fed to you. You don't have any curiosity, and you're prejudiced for a variety of possible reasons. And that I guess bugs me, no, I don't expect eveyrone to be music experts, but I would like to think they want to learn, they want explore. Of course you could just be into it for social reasons, which is just another layer of lameness. Me, I like music that's any combination of fast, strange, honest, and/or fun and has interesting sounding instruments, mostly distorted guitars, spiney banjos, warm synths, frightening keys, screaming horns and long winding echoes while I dancing gleefully or just go to another place. I wish I only liked one genre of music, it'd be a whole lot cheaper. It kills me that I have to import American music from Japan.
