Some thoughts and new Caline DCP series is available


Before the pandemic began we were honestly thinking about shutting the business down as costs have gone up a lot in recent years and Amazon's squeeze has made it really hard to make any profit in online retail.

But luckily customers have been supportive and kind, and people have been reaching for music and guitars in this difficult time. More music is a good thing, a net plus in the universe. So thank you for all of you playing your song. That's all we're really here to do anyways.

P.S. Got the new DCP line from Caline in the store. 2 pedals in 1, in natural pedal combos to save space on pedalboards, wiring headaches, and money.

Coronavirus Supply Chain and New Realities


We've run out of stock on increasingly more of our pedals due to supply issues from China due to the quarantine issues there which have basically shut down factories across the board. Never thought something like this (and Trump tariffs which have killed our bottom line) would effect a small business like us, but we all live in a fragile interconnected world now. It's important to remember we are all humans trying to get through life, and something like the Coronavirus impacts every single one of us. There is no escape. There is no excuses. We are all one planet. One people.

Stay safe everyone! Stay away from crowds. Stay indoors. Play some guitar. Reflect on life. Pray for team human. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, but we got this.

NEW Mooer Tone Capture GTR Pedal


Just got in a really insane pedal. The new Mooer Tone Capture pedal allows you to capture any guitar you have and save it's tone DNA into a pedal so you can change guitars without switching guitars! Live applications are obviously where this will be really valued. Just bring one guitar instead o 10. I never imagined such an insane day we guitars themselves can be modeled.

6 Pedal Myths


 

 

I really recommend Joshua from JHS pedal's YouTube channel. He's a man that simply loves pedals and he isn't about hyping his own brand but educating and having fun. This particular video is one that is near and dear to my heart as I think there's a lot of BS that start in some internet forum then over years becomes sort of sacred pedal laws that simply are untrue. Many guitarists and bassists then start demanding these features and so it gets used as marketing material, and it becomes a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy of idiocy.

My general view is that with sound it's not like something visual where you're like "oh that's blue" and "oh that's a darker shade of blue with some orange thrown in" cut and dry. With sound, it's hard to be objective and many times we hear things that aren't there, our opinions or what we've read (the opinions of other people) color or perception, or our feelings and moods get in the way. This is good for some pedal manufacturer that's trying to sell you his $3000 exclusive edition Klon centaur but not so good for your wallet.

Watch the video below but here's the breakdown in short:

  1. True Bypass is better than buffered (It's not!)
  2. Boutique is better (definitely not)
  3. You can't copy that pedal (you can copy anything)
  4. Germanium is better (no it's not. It's just what they had lying around back then.)
  5. Through-hole is better than Surface Mount (NO!  Actually surface mount is often more reliable)
  6. Magic op-amps in ODs (It's really not that important)

New Shit & Life Lessons


Excuse the long absence between posts. I've been up to my ears in life events. I've learned this year that we need to stop listening to the worrying nattering whine of confusion and fear at 3AM. That voice is never productive. And it never has your best interest at heart. What's important is to listen to the music, those notes coming from your heart. That clear harmonic resonance that is you wanting to burst forth. It's quieter so that's why it's harder to hear. It takes balls to be beautiful.

Ok life lessons over. I'm here to sell pedals. We got some new cool stuff I want to tell you about.

 

Caline has a great combo Wah and Volume that makes me want to go back and be a college student with no money again:

There's also a Stereo Volume pedal that even has a boost function. And I just like the way it feels under my foot. It's smooth. Not creaky like a crybaby.

https://www.cheaperpedals.com/products/caline-cp-31p-stereo-volume-pedal-with-boost

 

Mooer put out a Phase Player wah type foot pedal. It's weird yet oddly addicting. I really like it's 3rd mode. Some mean sounding filter effect that I'm sure has a technical sonic name. I just like it cause it sounds like steroids when you rock it on the high setting with some overdrive.
