Grandson's board [ Non DIY alert ]

I still listen to the Cure, the Smiths, Killing Joke, early Hoodoo Gurus, Pixies, Models - even Simple Minds for the '80s bombast. They used to sound amazing on a big nightclub sound system. I have a soft spot for '80s music as it was when I was out all the time clubbing, pubbing and playing a lot.

That's an impressive board - but why would anyone need so many overdrives?? (Probably a silly question here!)
I haven't thought about killing joke in such a long time so now that's what I'm listening to
 
I like a bit of Killing Joke. Hearing Love Like Blood takes me back to a club we used to regularly frequent way back when. Good times. There were a few songs which got played every night. Release the Bats was another, then there was Bela Lugosi's Dead...
 
🚨 Board update! 🚨

Xotic SP compressor edges out MXR Dynacomp for prime real estate!

As subtle as the settings were / are, it was a toss up until.....we engaged the BjFe Auto-Quack (funky-funky fun). Yumpin Yemany wah-ta difference! :oops:

Speaking of square-inches, we are picking up a few to spare...a 24"x18" board is headed our way. 📏📐
 
I just found out a couple of weeks ago that Tim is probably the reason Bon Jovi got famous. He played guitar on their first hit, Runaway. I remember hearing that late one night when they premiered it in the early 80s on some music video program on regular tv (before MTV) and thinking how great the song and guitars were... it was him

It's amazing the amount of contribution he seems to have done on a lot of big hits from my childhood.

Update: We've had some major changes and some still likely to come...

First up, a couple of showdowns starting with a pair of Jimi fuzz (JHW4 & JHMS1) . Each has pros and cons but until we can build the Fuzz we really want, the JHW4 is holding that position.

Next it was between the MXR DC and the Xotic SP..we went with less squish

Then there was the TUMNUS deal....

We are running it at the end, kind of a final boost / cleanup...then outta nowhere I get smacked in the face with hype......super secret stash of MAGIC DIODES.....zzzzzzz.....wha? Oh my...did I fall asleep during that riveting story? :rolleyes::ROFLMAO:

Being the village idiot, I naturally scooped one up. The jury is still out, but we have hype covered.
