CostchParticipant
Hey everybody, guess what I just did! I found a Big Box Pulsar and ordered it for myself! I’m such an asshole! Blowout section of musictoyz.com. Who would have thunk it? Here’s another one: http://www.midi-classics.com/h/h28276.htm
Don’t tell me that it’s too expensive. $75? I think that’s fair for a brand new unit. I payed $100 for mine, then I found this.CostchParticipantHere’s the best corse of action: Acquire all of the classic pedals you want before they become either impossible to find or hideously overpriced. I just ordered a classic Pulsar a few days ago. It was a bitch to find, but I did it.
CostchParticipantI need to get me some more EHX.
Double Muff- A gnarly, temperamental dirt box? Don’t mind if I do.
Deluxe Electric Mistress- I need a flanger for various trippin’ tones.
Russian Big Muff Pi- You can never have too many muffs.
Stereo Memory Man- Not the Haz, the discontinued analog one with 300 milliseconds of delay and chorus. I must completely EHX-ificate my pedalboard, therefore the Carbon Copy will not do.
Mini Q-Tron- Not to be confused with the XO Micro Q-Tron. I’ve always wanted an EF.
Frequency Analyzer- Real cool time, it would seem.
Octave Multiplexer- Even though I have a POG, I would like to have an analog octave effect.
Korg DT-10 BR Tuner- Not really an effect, but I need a pedal tuner. I hardly ever tune my guitar though.
Vox Wah of Sorts- Maybe I’ll get a McCoy if I come across one and have the money. If not, just the standard V847A.
CostchParticipantHere’s a novel idea: Don’t try to emulate the tone of other’s or base your tone on an archetype. Create, don’t emulate. Unless you want to. It’s your prerogative.
CostchParticipantI knew this would happen eventually. It’s just strange to see Thurston and Lee with guitars that aren’t beaten to shit.
CostchParticipantFender Hot Rod Deluxe.
CostchParticipantOh yeah. Damn. Foiled again.
How long did it take you to amass that collection, and at what approximate price? Also, do you own pedals made by any other companies? Or do you really exclusively use Fender and EHX (forever)?CostchParticipantI’d like to burgle that.
CostchParticipantI suppose that the link between music and art is wearing quite thin. Terrible shame, that. I rue the day that it is completely severed. It’s getting pretty close. Spot on, John J.

CostchParticipantYou know me; always in favor of the vintage. If anybody is aware of preferably new Mini Q-Tron, please let me know. Oh yeah, the reason. Mojo. Yeah. That elusive, vague concept that most folk aren’t aware of as long as they have their convenience and cookie cutter tone. Here’s a digression: Why do most guitarists strive to emulate the tone of well established “celebrity” guitarists rather than create their own (or at least try)?
CostchParticipantI don’t see why EHX couldn’t have just made the pedals smaller, but still housed them in tolex and sheet metal so they have the same aesthetic. XO is far too generic. EHX just isn’t as unique as it once was. Compared to Boss, Ibanez, Digitech, etc. I suppose they still are, but they’ve almost completely lost their mojo. Fuck all of that “trying to appeal to a wider demographic” shit. EHX already appealed to the right people, not most people. Right is what’s important. If people are too shallow to look past the large cases and semi-obsolete power jacks (which add to the mojo), then fuck ’em. They can fester in their boring, digital cesspool. EHX should plan a vintage revival. I know they won’t, but it’s a nice thought. Stop the genocide.
CostchParticipantIt’s probably only around $80.
