FX pedals are like sex toys, they can enhance your performance, make your instruments (partners) make new noises and can recontextualize not just the entire act but also you and your instrument's relationship in the process.
I came across it Today and it's old sentiment to me.
A years ago I've started to build this GREEN RINGER effect pedal which is still in progress. That time back I've been moving to the new flat and haven't got enough time to go through thousands of parts to find the right ones to get it done. Then it fell into dust. I was using old parts from broken Fender amps I collected in the past years and this one effect meant to be greener than green just by its look. I was really excited how it's gonna sounds like depending on these parts taken off the old circuits and none of these would be normally used for this particular type of wiring. I should keep these parts to fix some other amps but I found this idea to be quite interesting.
Ringmode effects such as Gonkulator by DOD likewise this Green Ringer are my favourite distortions, right after Fuzz effects. Could be something sentimental about oldschool era of those wierd dial tones.

I started More Gain Music to be family and life first for myself and anyone working with us. With that in mind, we’re open normal hours today and throughout the season.
We’ll have @rombopicks giveaways through the season, and announce the first winner later on, because we’re casual like that.
Review of the Zoom G6 Guitar Multi-Effects processor…..
… or rather a demonstration of how bad the UI experience is. Enough for me to send it back.
I’ve always loved Zoom products, from way back to the 505 through to the G3. The OD/Distortion and amp modeling beat anything by Line 6 in my book, but this time around it looks like Zoom has put all its eggs into the (unresponsive) touchscreen…
