playing without using effects became almost a source of pride after a while, but i'm not against them. i just found that dropping them gave me a lot of interesting room to play around, because i am a pretty experimental guitarist at times, but i don't need to use effects to get wild sounds out of my guitar - i find overdriven, overheated vavevs and controlled feedback give me a heap of aural textures to work with - and pedals can only complicate things, or be a distract.
i really love the sounds i can get out of that amp/guitar combo, and got to really know how to do interesting stuff with feedback and resonance.
Yeah I didn't even consider effects until relatively recently... I came up playing acoustic piano and acoustic drums. Lately though I've realized the awesome things you can do with effects. I actually have an octaver pedal, well my guitar player is loaning it to me indefinitely which is basically the same thing as I have no plans to not play with him in the future. I want to use it for my Moog, because the one thing about that instrument is you can't play multiple notes at once. Well you sorta can with the frequency knob, it can down to a 4th or up to a 5th plus the root, but the octaver pedal can do any note up to I think 2 octaves up or down, plus apply effects to it. Pretty excited to start trying it.
We have 4 of 5 songs done, final versions, for our EP. Finished the 3rd and 4th tonight. Gotta get the 5th, then we'll put it together, get it printed, and move on to new stuff.
also - good luck with the phenibut kick. it sounds kinda rough.
It's really almost nothing cared to opiates, it just throws me for a loop from time to time.. Thanks man.
Well, the camping trip with my girl's mom went great.
I ended up microdosing, and it actually put me at ease, it was great. Not enough to trip but enough to make me feel really sharp and on my game. It was a little awkward at first but today we talked about a lot of things.. she even confided in me privately about her life. I don't know why I was so nervous, I guess I just got so used to phenibut helping me deal with social anxiety. But this helps me see that it's all in me anyway, it's about self-confidence.
It's been a good weekend so far, I'm hoping tomorrow I can go river hiking with my friend. I just camped in the same spot for 2 days, but they don't like to climb boulder and shit.

One time during my heavy delay use days, I was again tripping on 2C-P while playing by myself, dreaming of my aspirations to become a well respected musician someday, and I thought of a really lame joke that at the time got me laughing so hard I had to put the guitar down for a bit. "I don't care how long it takes, I'm going to have the greatest delay ever."
Get it, because if it takes a long time then the word delay has two meanings.
Most of the time it takes people a moment or three to understand the joke. I tell them the delay before getting it is part of the meta of the joke, but it's really just a bad joke.
. Still tickles my funny bone to this day, tho.
I like meta-jokes.

Do all my edits before the timer for the edit line is up show up in moderator view? Sorry if so.
No, I'm sure it's possible to see them somewhere, maybe at an admin level (I wouldn't know I would just imagine) but I consider the 5 minutes sacrosanct anyway. Can't tell you how many times I edit posts in the first 5 minutes.

In a sharing mood today, decided to record this work in progress composition I haven't set to tape yet... I'm not sure where I want to go with the piece from here, but it certainly feels to me like it should end up being more of an epic than it's current three minute length.

Awesome dude, thanks for sharing. That kind of feel is right up my alley. We always end up primarily minor. Just love minor, it's so powerful. I love the partial chromatic descent that starts around a minute. Nice to see a face too.

Oh wow man, congrats!
Yeah I got married once and it sucked, but that was down to the individual I chose. From everything I've heard, your girl sounds like a real keeper. So fuck yeah man!!
My girl and I have talked about marriage but we both aren;t really interested. However that's about where we're at. Beautiful to have someone you are just happy to be with and who brings you a lot of joy.

Man I need some quality live music. Primus and Clutch play in Pittsburgh next Sunday but I have to be in Columbus by 9am Monday and can't drive myself. Clutch is easily one of my top 3 bands so kinda bummed about that.
I missed my chance to see Primus recently, but my friends went and can't recommend it enough. Primus is one of those bands man, been around forever and they've been amazing the whole time. Fucking Les Claypool...
