Great thread! I’m going to check out each poster’s music tonight before I go to bed!

Here’s a little EP I did of rough improvised pieces I did early in the pandemic. It actually doesn’t have many effects at all on it— I think just a cheap looper pedal on track 1, the chorus from my old line 6 spider (believe it or not!) for the tiny little Leslie sound on track 3, and a digitech bass whammy on track 4 (and maybe 3 for a second or two early on)

There might be a little bit of fuzz somewhere too, but if I remember correctly most of the fuzz tones were achieved by DI’ing the guitar totally clean but maxing the input gain of the interface so it was just really harsh digital clipping, and then just low-passing the hell out of it.

Everything is just my Epiphone LP trad pro with a Seymour Duncan ‘Whole Lotta Humbucker’ set and coil shunts, phase, and series/parallel wiring, as well as my Hagstrom 8 string bass for track 3.

So here's the only decently recorded thing that's on the YouTube from our self released record in 2013. I'm playing electric upright. My buddy Chad was a guest on violin.


Here's a hilarious live video. Tiny music fest. We were pretty out of our element playing pseudo jazz funk way early at a "rawk" fest in rural Washington state. I chose this one because my drummer is crazy good and playing someone else's kit, having too much fun with the added rototoms and splash. Also, the vid was taken right next to the bass amp so when I stomp on my bmp with a thick h.o.g. preset it completely buries the mix. Makes me laugh a bit.

I used to record local bands in my home studio 20 years ago or so. I'm building up my gear to start doing it again. The Lazy Gene Theory and Sorry stuff are my bands. The Halfcut demo was recorded at a local studio with my coverband at the time.

Great stuff! Although I must say, I’m completely sold on Dead Chickens.

I’m definitely not as accomplished as the lot of you in both pedal building, musicianship, or recording... Everthing I do is has just been half completed ideas or messy improvisations some of which have been pedal demos but here is a project that was abandoned relatively quickly I have yet embarrassed myself with or subjected you to

Love it. I couldn’t guess where the track was going from the beginning then wham! I’ve never finished any material, most of it stays as Ableton projects I’ll check out again every once in a while.

Hey @wintercept thanks for starting this thread. I was gonna post something similar recently but didn't get around to it. I'm enjoying listening to all y'all's bands

I've always been in bands as long as I've been playing guitar. I literally can't imagine a life without playing music

https://isolationvoid.bandcamp.com/music this page has some demos of bands I've been in the past few years and were recorded at home by me. I played all the instruments on the False Moon demo and that was my first time playing drums. The drummer from Terminated moved to Texas right after we recorded this, and Sentience will probably continue to be a band but we haven't done anything since before the pandemic.

I was just saying the other day that I want to get something new going. I'd love to play some stuff with country rock, soul, acid rock, or folk rock influence too

No problem, I love how this thread is going. Is nutmeg folk are all tuned to the same frequency I guess ;). Awesome stuff by the way! The guitar tone on Interdimensional Force is immense!

I've recorded this song probably 5-6 times by now, but I finally went to an actual studio to do it, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I didn't pay for mastering so this is just a rough mix, but I dig it so far. I haven't had any luck starting a band so I'm playing everything myself.

Clean/delay guitar uses a TRex Replicator, dirty guitar is my Soldano GTO clone, and bass is through my original bass preamp pedal.

Wow, this might be my favorite track so far! It’s between you and @Stickman393. Love what you’re doing with the delay.

Those circuits are classics and I’m sad to say I’ve never tried a single one. They are so different, but use minimal components for wild effects by the looks of em’. Any favorites you would recommend?

The Bronx Cheer and the Jawari are probably my favorites. The Harmonic Jerkulator is a decent approximation of the Harmonic Percolator, I go a transformer based octave working on the end of the circuit once and it was super gnarly and cool sounding, couldn't make it reliably work though.

The Thing Modulator is easy as dirt to build and sounds cool but it is hard to get the LCM567 in non-smd and the LM567CN doesn't work the same.

The PWM is very cool too, though I think I like it better without the LFO option.

The LOFO MOFO is on my list, I've heard some awesome demos but haven't built one yet.

The Ugly Face is probably the one I've read the most about. I think it used to be a sort of DIY right of passage. I made one and wasn't super into it, but there are some cool sounds there.


Another good circuit along these lines is Doug Tuttle's (Mid-Fi Electronics) Random Number Generator. Another easy build that sounds cool.

One thing to keep in mind is that several of these are sensitive to what is going into them. Rolling off the tone knob is often key to getting the coolest sounds with a lot of these.

Dead Chickens was written one night behind a police station when two mates and I were driving around town late at night. I had the guitar in the car and we were stopping around town and jamming. Having said that, it's all the one riff of F, G#, F#, G played in different positions on the neck.

It was recorded in a little church vestible/storage room on a dual tape deck karaoke machine, basically a glorified ghetto blaster. Basically, we ran a casio keyboard, mic, and single guitar using a korg A5 into it via a little mixer, and did a runthrough. Then we'd play that back and record the second guitar, keyboard percussion hits and extra vocals on the second run. Done.

We actually did a complete 5 track demo on that thing over a couple of days and gave out to heaps of people, mostly trying to pull the girls...

Man, I am really digging that first one.
