WWWhat in the World Wide Web

I discovered my new delay/looping pedal can do continuous notes. No gaps! My old pedal (which admittedly wasn’t so hot) couldn’t do this. I didn’t think my new one could do it either, until I accidentally did the following:

1. Start a loop, but don’t actually play anything
2. Play a note with the guitar’s volume all the way down
3. Slowly fade the volume back up
4. Repeat steps 2–3 as necessary
5. ????
6. SPACE ROCK!

At some point I should really make a video of this process, so I can put it on youtube and have everyone say that it’s FAKE. Yeah, about that: see below!

Examples

1. almost three minutes of building a chord
2. about one minute of a different chord (already in progress)

Needs work

• So far my output has been really quiet for some reason
• And I have really bad line noise coming from somewhere (shitty cables?)
• Distortion makes the bad line noise even worse, so no bowel-shaking drone metal just yet

NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: Here is a totally FAKE video I made:

ANOTHER NOTE, ALSO FROM THE FUTURE: The line noise/quiet output only seems to be a problem with headphone rockin’ (which is a problem in many other ways). I’ve been playing through an amp, really loudly, and the output’s been fine. The line noise is about what you’d expect when you also have a billion other pedals, so no complaints here.

There’s a fan in the other window now, so they had to share the remaining free one.

That lasted about as long as it took to get these pics.

A long, long, long time ago (March 5), it was one of the first nice days of the year. I’d had my new lens for almost a month and hadn’t managed to get anything but dreary indoor pics of toys and my cats. So I decided to to take the afternoon off and take some pictures of… wait for it… wait for it… »

This goose has a nest in the very empty Circuit City parking lot.

She thought I was stepping to her and her eggs and started doing that hissing thing and so I apologized for the intrusion and went on my way and that is the end of this story THE END.

Guess what day these were taken!

I read this for about an hour before giving up.

That is all.

OK NOW that is all.

Remember this? Whatever devilry they’re up to, they’ve expanded their operations.

And since there was a normally lit floor visible, I was able to achieve some kind of decent white balance!

Hi, I’m a lion!

I’m none of these things!
