The new Catalinbread stuff looks cool; as usual

lol @ Zvex and Catalinbread making stuff for J Mascis
The vex Double Rock actually sounds like a creative use of versatile combinations/switching


even though it's still SHOs

ZVEX Sonar

There's a write up of the Sonar already on Vexs Site.

The Aqua puss seems pretty self explanitory, Wow & Flutter Controls for modulation, Grit I guess adds in some light clipping or something simmilar, Filter is probably just a low pass filter control to take it from a dark to bright delay. Then just tap tempo with a delay tails feature.

Ok thanks SCRUFFIE
I gonna check that !

Yeah I thought the Double Rock looked like a pretty neato idea.

It seems like a cooler variant on the Analogman King of Tone double boost/overdrive theme.

We could all probably build one for ourselves on this forum(SHO and Distortron circuits switchable by DPDT Toggle with a master 3PDT bypass x2), but cramming it all into a 1590B wouldn't be much fun for me!

Are Dinosaur Jr a big band in the US? The guy seems to have loads of signature gear and I don't really know much about them.

Quite a lot of cool announcements this year so far; the Arturia Analogue synth looks really interesting.

I'm quite intrigued by the looper from Pigtronix personally. Looks like a super versatile weapon of choice actually. As soon as I see some demos I'm going to be planning that acquisition, so I'm avoiding my youtube channel for now.

Hmm the new pigtronix looper looks interesting. I'll have to try it out, maybe buy it as a graduation present to myself if it's cool, haha. I bet it's super expensive though, pigtronix stuff usually is.

I should be there right now, every year the company I'm with goes and I always find out the day before making it to late to get on the list. But I guess there's a vintage guitar/amp/pedal trade show this weekend I'll be at with my local music shop.

Not really big but like Sonic Youth, they've got a cult following. Everyone who's heard of them knows J's a great guitar player--he has a reputation of being boring in interviews to avoid annoying questions, is an avid Big Muff collector, and is supposedly kind of a "controlling-jerk" of a musician. My favorite band said J Mascis was "in the same league as Hendrix". Check out Beyond & Farm for newer more accessible stuff or You're Living All Over Me for their noisiest best

also...New Klon:

Thanks for the Heads up Jeff.

Sonic Youth are a pretty big band in the UK; as they should be, and I have a few of their albums.

If Dinosaur Jnr are on a similar keel I might check em out.

I'm intrigued by the new Klon. Haven't listened to that audio, but it looks like its in a standard 1590BB enclosure?

I'm not at all impressed by the new Klon.
