Austin Pedalfest '08!

[Mullet Kingdom]

Date: Saturday, September 20th
Time: 12:00PM
Location: Music Lab

Brad Fee (Unkle Slam) has been chomping at the bit to come back to Austin sometime soon -- and what better excuse than to host another Pedalfest. (well, actually there are better reasons, but that's beside the point)

Last year Brad and the Tonefactor crew brought a plethora of cool pedals for us to scrutinize....er, marvel at. In fact they brought more stuff than we (realistically) had time to mess with.

For those with short memories, I've hosted and organized two similar events in '06 and '07 respectively. Right now we're looking at the last weekend in September (9/27), but it's not set in stone. If need be we'll move it up to 9/20. (note: scheduled for 9/20 -MK)

Who's game?

Not only do people know and trust the "Mullet" brand....they demand it. :D

You know I am. BTW, we gonna hit the D.Lindley show?

[Mullet Kingdom]

Mos-def.

When you get a chance, make a list of the pedals you can bring.

My modest collection has been pared down to a handful of dirt pedals and a vintage Thomas Organ Crybaby.

[swampthing]

Let's see what other folks are committing to first so I don't end up bringing a boat load. Is this more about checking out unique stuff or readily available pedals?

BTW, can you pm your phone # to me? I lost my cell phone. Will call ya thursday or friday morning to work out details for the DL show.

[Malekko]

you bitches know i'm in...i've got a behringer space chorus and a DS-1 i could bring!

[Mullet Kingdom]

You tease! :drool

:rolleyes:

Swampthing: bring as much or as little as you want.

MODS: please sticky this thread

[sa1126]

i can probably make it.

[b_rad]

Let's do this.

[JayRue]

Depending on the date, I may be able to trek down from DFW with an interesting item or two. Didn't you guys meet at Music Lab last time, or am I confused?

[swampthing]

UnkleSlam...

You bringing your whole herd of pedals?

[bobgoblin]

Now that I'm finally in Austin, I *should* be able to make it. If its in late Sept, I should also have an OTS by then, so I could bring that. Otherwise, my pedal situation has greatly diminished since the last 2 ATX pedalfests that I couldn't attend.

[Todd Lynch]

Mullet K!

[ned911]

Count me in.

[EXP]

Welcome back Greg!

I wont have any pedals to bring except maybe a vintage ts-808 but I'd still like to come. I can however bring my newly acquired super reverb(EV's, Philips 7581A's, SS rectifier).

I'll see if E wants to go and can bring his plethora of pedz.

[TX6Strings]

I should be able to make the drive from Houston and have a few things I could bring.

[Mullet Kingdom]

Depending on the date, I may be able to trek down from DFW with an interesting item or two. Didn't you guys meet at Music Lab last time, or am I confused?

Yeah, it was at the Oltorf Music Lab both times. Though you may have this confused with the "Austin Ampfest" was in May (and again in November).

What ya got?

Nice! We'll have to do a side-by-side comparison with your Super and "Tha Superfly Reverb" (which is what I've dubbed mine).

I can already tell you that Eric isn't coming -- even if he says he is. :hide

[JayRue]

Yeah, it was at the Oltorf Music Lab both times. Though you may have this confused with the "Austin Ampfest" was in May (and again in November).

What ya got?

Some run of the mill stuff, some unusual stuff: an RX Overdriver, an 80s Crest Fuzz Face, the 1st version of MI Audio's Blue Boy (my new fav OD), a Tremster, a Carbon Copy, a Verbzilla, an odd old pedal called a Nu-Fuzz, and I have a Lovepedal Karl on the way. I also have a couple of old Fender amps that might make good platforms. I'd really like to audition some of Brad's stuff, though.

[Mullet Kingdom]

Now that I'm finally in Austin, I *should* be able to make it. If its in late Sept, I should also have an OTS by then, so I could bring that. Otherwise, my pedal situation has greatly diminished since the last 2 ATX pedalfests that I couldn't attend.

Like I mentioned before -- we could have spent the whole day with just the stuff that Brad brought. So no worries where that's concerned -- but you should definitely bring that Les Paul in your avatar. :D

[b_rad]

UnkleSlam...

You bringing your whole herd of pedals?

I can definitely bring enough to keep everyone occupied. :)

[swampthing]

I can definitely bring enough to keep everyone occupied. :)

Nice. I know this is evil but I was debating on if I should even bring anything...after all, I know what 'my' pedals sound like :o I'm sure can't go there without bringing something though. Gotta at least bring one show and tell.

[eric-d]

When is the date.... :p

[Mullet Kingdom]

When is the date.... :p

The last weekend of September. But I can pretty much guarantee your ass is gonna pull a no-show.

:Spank

:p

[mr. stanley]

When is the date.... :p

if you come bring your Toneczar stuff...we'd love to carry Ed's stuff but he's pretty set on not having dealers.

[EXP]

:roll

Well, I'll be there assuming I dont have to work. That BBQ place was good last time; we should catch a bite and a show afterwards.:drink

[ned911]

Swamp- bring the M13.

[rhythmrocker]

i might be able to come - enjoyed it last year.
Depends on how expensive the flight from SFO to Austin is.

Look - you (someone out there) must go over to the Continental and invite Redd Volkaert to drop by. Tell him there's a bunch of fans out there and would love to hear him talk about tone or pedals (have him bring his Tele and pedals) and maybe play a little for us too! See if that would work.

He's usually playing a gig on Saturday afternoons. What you're talking about sounds like a clinic. He might be up for doing something like that, but I doubt he'd do it for free.

Anyway, it'll be good to see you again if you can make it into town. :)

i knew there was a reason you were banned.... :p I'll talk to mama amd see what she's got going. I just might even bring the JTM45 and make you even more jealous of my rig.... HAHAHHAHA....:Devil:roll:D:Spank:drink

Actually, the real reason is because the old server was ill-equipped to handle the overwhelming awesomeness of my posts. So the mods told me I could either dial down the awesomeness (which was completely out of the question) or wait until the new server was online. :D

Definitely bring the new amp. And I'll show you how to make it sound good. :banana

[eric-d]

BTW - how is the Super? ;)

Its still sick matter of fact it stopped working all together Saturday night! If I blew the OT Im putting a Twin Reverb Merc Mag transformer in it. Dropping it off at Marcus's Friday with the Philips 7581A's, SS rectifier, and all the tweaks it will sound killer when its done!

[bobgoblin]

Mullet: I surely will bring the LP.

[Mullet Kingdom]

Mullet: I surely will bring the LP.


Cool! We're gonna need something other than strats and the like. I'll bring my Reverend Charger 290 -- which is sort of a hybrid of a Jazzmaster and an LP Junior w/P-90s.

Does anyone have a ZIM we can checkout?

[ned911]

I'll bring my Wolfgang and Axis SS.

[eric-d]

Here's the list I'll bring if I can make it - still haven't talked to Mama about it.

Guitars:

Les Paul Std (Antiquity's & RS Kit)
50's RI Tele (Antiquity's & TB Cap/Res from Mullet)

[Mullet Kingdom]

BOSS TU-2


Definitely bring the Boss TU-2. Those things are totally amazing. :crazyguy

My friend is bringing a Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe+ (or whatever it's called).

He's also got Textosterone and a half dozen other cool things for us to mess with. I'll get a list going soon.

Who's got a little Fender amp we can use as a test platform?

It would be a huge help. We used Clemduolian's Princeton last time and it worked out perfect.

[b_rad]

Who's got a little Fender amp we can use as a test platform?


We've got a '66 Super Reverb and a Fender DRRI. We can bring one of those two.

[clemduolian]

MK--Good to see you're back.

Depending on the date and "life" I'll try to make it by. I can bring the '64 Princeton with Tone Tubby that seemed to be a good "platform" the last time around. Guitar wise my Collings 290 should have a Stetsbar by then (!) and my Cardinal Rat Rod sports a '54 DeArmond (from a Harmony H44) and a Cardinal single coil...not your LP, Strat or Tele. :D

Pedal wise I can bring this small board:
http://www.troutstudios.com/pedals.jpg

And, I should be able to bring the even smaller "Texas Chainsaw pedalboard" with a Captain Coconuts II, Fuzz Factory, Empress Super Delay, Ibanez AD80 delay and Pitch black tuner, mounted with chain saw links.

Yee haw !

As much as I love Supers -- I'm gonna say bring the Deluxe. The first time somebody fired up a 40 watt'er at last year's pedalfest it cleared the room out pronto.

[bobgoblin]

No small Fender, but I do have a 1960 Ampeg Mercury (think late 50's tweed Deluxe) that I can haul out.

[EXP]

Then you probably dont want me to bring my super.:D

Philips 7581As(35 watt 6L6GC), EVM ''10's and beefy iron yeah loud is an understatement.:Devil

[Mullet Kingdom]

Hey, Bryan!

You've alway got an interesting array of unusual stuff to bring to the party. Looking forward to hanging with you again -- and seeing what kind of weird sounds you can conjure up. :)

I'm gonna bring my MESA Blue Angel -- so we'll definitely have to hear your 290 through it.

MK--Good to see you're back.

Go ahead and bring it, but we should probably save it for later, for the sake of our ears.

[sa1126]

I will bring the skreddy's (pink flesh, mayo, and screwdriver) and a tim and timmy if anyone wants. I also have an OLC Big cheese clone for you Greg ;)

Wow! That's some cool stuff, Steve. Definitely bring it. If Jim can make it let's get him to bring his Silvertone 2X12.

[burythemisery]

hell yeah lets do it!

[Mullet Kingdom]

Rockin' good news, gents! :dude

Mark from O.L. Circuits (http://olcircuits.com) is going to be sending us a box of really cool toys to play with. I don't know exactly what at the moment, but when I do I'll post it here. :crazy

[Mullet Kingdom]

I just checked the calendar and the Austin City Limits Festival is going to be happening at the same time pedalfest is -- which presents some pros & cons that need to be considered.

Pros:
there are always killer bands playing "after-show" gigs in the local clubs that you might not get to see otherwise. Lots of good possibilities to catch a band after pedalfest if anybody wants to.

Cons:
Austin is packed and driving around town takes a lot more patience than usual.
ACL typically draws about 100k people from out of town.
Hotels fill up.
Music Lab is busy because there's tons of national touring acts in town and they want to get in a last minute rehearsal or do some recording etc.
***


I mentioned all this to Brad and he's game for sticking with the original plan and doing it the weekend of ACL or rescheduling it one week earlier if need be -- but October is no good.

Let me know what y'all think.

[clemduolian]

I say "Damn ACL, FULL SPEED ahead." Any "national touring act" would much rather hang out at the Pedal Fest than the ACL Fest...great equipment, great players and.............wait for it.....air conditioning (and no dust storms!).

So sayeth Clem

Well, it looks like the deciding factor will be whether or not we can get a good sized room on the 27th. If need be we can also move it over to the St. Elmo location -- though I much prefer the Music Lab on Oltorf.

If at all possible I'd rather not have to be in a room that's completely black for an entire afternoon. It's kinda gloomy and depressing. :messedup

[burythemisery]

so let me get the facts straight, it's gonna be in austin - what time this month??

[Mullet Kingdom]

so let me get the facts straight, it's gonna be in austin - what time this month??

No, September 27th -- but it might get moved up to the 20th due to ACL fest which may or may not present a unique set of complications. Like I said in my previous post, if we can get the studio we want we'll do it on 9/27.

Got any cool pedals you can bring? :drool

[GtrWiz]

I just moved to Austin 2 weeks ago, I'm game!

[mr. stanley]

Brad and I can bring an AC30 too if anybody would like. We both have LP's we can bring too if needed.

As far as discontinued pedals I can bring a DM-2 and an Alesis Bitrman

[Mullet Kingdom]

We'll have at least one Super Reverb and possibly a JTM-45, so an AC30 would round that out nicely.

I'm not familiar with the DM-2 or Bitrman, but bring them if they're interesting or different.

GtrWiz: come on down -- and bring a few toys if you feel like it.

[Mullet Kingdom]

So I've got a pedal list going and I'll be adding to it as information becomes available.

I've got a few builders sending some pedals for us to demo and I'll be adding those to the list too -- as soon as I get confirmation on what they're sending.

I'll be adding an amp and guitar list to page one as well.

Check it out and let me know if any changes need to be made -- or if I've missed anything.

[Millo 3.1]

I'm in town so if I'm free I COULD be there. Got a Teese RMC 3, Fulltone Choralflange & OCD v.3, Empress Tremolo, Eventide TimeFactor, George Dennis volume... I see someone else is bringing a ZenDrive, so no need for that one.

:bow

Wow! That's an impressive list.

I haven't done a tally yet, but between what's on our list and the stuff that the Tonefactor crew is bringing -- I'd say we're getting pretty close to reaching critical mass. There's always a few no-shows, but even so, we'll probably end up having way more stuff than we can realistically get to in a single afternoon.

Damn, that was quick! :crazy

I suppose we could make it a two day event, but if you haven't had your fill after the first day you should probably seek professional help. :roll

[Mullet Kingdom]

I've heard of a few of those but I'm not familiar with any of them. So I'll be interested to see what they're all about. Hopefully you can stop by for a bit.

I added you to the list just in case. :D

So did we get a room @ Musiclab already? Let me know if there's anything I need to do on my end.

I'll know shortly. If we can't get a decent sized studio for the 27th (due to ACL) we can move it up a week to the 20th or try the east St. Elmo location.

[JayRue]

My vote is for moving it up to the 20th. Less headaches overall.

[wtdpblake]

I'd like to try and make it too. Sounds like my kind of gathering!

[Millo 3.1]

I added you to the list just in case. :DCool, thanks. I just read it might be moved to Saturday the 20th--that might be better for me. :BEER

At Music Lab?

[Mullet Kingdom]

So did we get a room @ Musiclab already? Let me know if there's anything I need to do on my end.

We've got a room booked for 9/20. :BEER

It can be rescheduled for the following week if need be, but I'll need to do fairly soon.

[b_rad]

Sounds great. I'd rather come that weekend, too.

We'll still be there. It may have peaked by then, depending on when folks decide to start showing up. Anyway, get there as soon as you're able to. Obviously the earlier you show up the more cool stuff you'll get to see.

[Millo 3.1]

Cool, I'll try to make it!

[$uperpuma]

I'm 95% in and I just got word from Beavis Audio that a certain mad scientist is going to make the trip.

[3 Mile Stone]

Pretty sure I can do this. Pedal List:

Xotic BB
Xotic AC
Fulltone Fat Boost (1)
Zen Drive
Pearl Chorus
Mojo Hand Luna Vibe
Teese Wa


And the Fender Bassman channel on my Egnater Mod 50 is a pedal lovin' SOB. The Marshall Super Lead channel is good too.

Any body feel like bringing a cabinet to run it into.

[Mullet Kingdom]

Nice list!

The amp sounds like it's pretty rad, but it's way more than we need to demo pedals with. Don't want to punish folks with volume. Speaking from past experience, it tends to clear the room out quickly.

Just curious:

What amps/guitars are we going to have?

[Mullet Kingdom]

Just curious:

What amps/guitars are we going to have?

I'm not sure. Probably one or two strats, a Les Paul or two, a Collings I-90, a Wolfgang, a Reverend Charger 290 and maybe a handful of other things.

I'll look through the thread to see who's bringing what and add them all to the list on page one. It depends on who shows up.

[Millo 3.1]

Cool... well, I can bring my Carvin Bolt+ kit w/ handwound pickups but it's not the best--it has weird after-market switching and somehow I think b/c of these components it's a bit noisier than usual. I need to get around to the bottom of that issue one of these days.

There are a couple guitars I'd like to try so I figure I'd throw this out there as well in case anyone was planning of bringing them: if anyone has a Warmoth axe to bring, I'd like to try that neck (their standard). Also, a PRS Singlecut, Carvin CS or CT, 2008 Gibson LP Std, etc. I'm interested in trying necks/fit/playability more than sound, so I don't need to be plugged in to do so.

Thanks!

[bobgoblin]

Just curious:

What amps/guitars are we going to have?

I can probably bring my Ceriatone OTS w/1x12" Fuchs cab loaded with either an EV12L or a WGS ET65 (Celestion G12-65 clone). The only thing stopping me right now is whether or not I have a head cab for the OTS by then.

[Mullet Kingdom]

If you're planning to bring a guitar please bring a stand for it. That way we can stack the cases in a corner and line the guitars up along the wall -- keeping clutter to a minimum.

[Millo 3.1]

I can probably bring my Ceriatone OTS w/1x12" Fuchs cab loaded with either an EV12L or a WGS ET65 (Celestion G12-65 clone). The only thing stopping me right now is whether or not I have a head cab for the OTS by then.cool... definitely interested in hearing the EV cab

I've been talking to my good buddy Greg at XTS, he's planning on bringing a board full of his original and modded pedals. Some of the best stuff out there, IMHO.

I'll probably bring my '64 Deluxe, and a Tele or LP.

[rollyfoster]

a bit off-topic (still trying to work out whether i've got to work on that Sat or not, though) but do any of y'all know someone that can do a strat setup without me having to leave it with them a week or longer? 1-2 days would be outstanding.

gracias.

There's a guy at Music Makers who does bread-n-butter guitar repairs. He might be able to get it done in a day or two, but you definitely want to call and ask first.

[rollyfoster]

that's who i usually use (ollie's awesome), but they're telling me about a week because he's so busy. last time i took a guitar in there, he had it 11 days.

[Mullet Kingdom]

Might wanna try doing it yourself then. :D

[rollyfoster]

eh.......i get carried away with that kind of thing and end up ****ing things up royally. patience is not one of my attributes.

Wow, that's cool! Get a detailed list of what he's bringing and I'll add it to the list on page 1.

Definitely bring the tele and the '64 Deluxe. I think we've got at least a few guys bringing Les Pauls, but go a head and bring yours too if you want to.

Bring a guitar stand if you can.

[$uperpuma]

Anyone bringing a SkreddyEcho? I'd really like to try one of those....

[Mullet Kingdom]

Yeah, me! :D

Now hurry up and build my pedal. :Devil

[EXP]

I might be able to bring a MJM London Fuzz, Fuchs Pure Gain, RGW Bad Bob boost, TS10, a modded Fuzzface, and maybe some other toys.

[Millo 3.1]

EXP: I'd love to try that Fuchs Pure Gain... I'll be there possibly around 3pm.

[sa1126]

Yeah, me! :D

Now hurry up and build my pedal. :Devil

[Mullet Kingdom]

Not yet, but the wheels are in motion -- and it'll be in my "show-n-tell" bag-o-awesomeness when I show up at Music Lab on the 20th.

:AOK

[txbluzmn]

Wow! Is this gonna be held at the Erwin Center??

In answer to your original question, no, we're not hosting this get together at the Frank Irwin Center.

:rotflmao

See page 1 for details and come check it out if you can make it.

;)

[EXP]

Add a MJM Ulysses wah to the list, selling the Fuchs Pure Gain so scratch that one off, and could very well accumulate yet more unnecessary toys I dont need in the next few.:crazy

Dude, it's less than two weeks away. Can you at least hang on to the Fuchs Pure Gain until then? (can you hang on to *anything* until then? :hide )

Seriously, it's a new pedal that most people haven't had a chance to checkout yet. So definitely bring it if you can.

[b_rad]

Hey Greg, Let me know if you're covered on amps and guitars. The less room used on hauling amps and guitars the more room we have for pedals. :)

[Mullet Kingdom]

It's getting close -- just over a week away!

So let's take roll call.

Who's coming?

[$uperpuma]

[Mullet Kingdom]

:JAM:drink:crazyguy:BEER

If you make the trip on Friday we're gonna rally at the Texas Chili Parlor on Lavaca for beer and some particularly wicked chili -- and then late night streaking on the lawn of the Capitol. :Devil :BEER :moon


:D

[GtrWiz]

[Mullet Kingdom]

OK, I know there's more than five people coming.

Who else?

[eric-d]

I'm there... :p

[Mullet Kingdom]

I'm there... :p

What guitars are you bringing?

[eric-d]

Nah - prolly my Tele and Paul.

[ned911]

I'm in. What time Friday night?

Can bring a Hyper Pak and my Wolfgang and Axis Sport.

[dksouthpaw]

[dan-o-guitar]

I'm flying in from Wash DC on Friday night.

Woot.

Will bring no pedals because I don't need another TSA anal probe. Wait, maybe...

Anyway, looking forward to meeting all of youse and reveling in the expected debauchery.

The mystery pedal on my board is a FreakShow Effects Fantastique--a one off pedal with a Brown Rabbit and Maharishi in one box (with a switch to change the order of the efx).

Looks like I'm going to score a Mutron II Phaser tonight! Gots to keep the old school arsenal in shape.:AOK

[jisforjustin]

I can't believe I didn't see this sooner. It sounds awesome and I would love to participate! I am an effects builder in Austin. You can check out my stuff on http://www.3Xfx.com and http://www.myspace.com/3Xfx. I sent ane email to the TS and hope it's not too late. Looking forward to the event and checking out everyone's awesome pedals!

we can bring a double hotcake

[Millo 3.1]

Well at this point I can make it if it's still going on after 3pm, and then again maybe I won't be able to do it--sorry if I can't! Reason: possible much-needed rehearsals. If I come I will bring the aforementioned pedals, I'll double check the night before to make sure I don't bring anything someone else is bringing. Thanks!

[$uperpuma]

well, we hope you can make it Millo!

[JayRue]

I'm about 85% sure I'll be there. I'm coming in from out of town, so it's a tad more complicated. I'm gonna do my best, though. Sounds like a good time.

[$uperpuma]

I'm coming in from out of town too :)

[GtrWiz]

I just got word from a good friend of mine who is starting his own high end cable company, Colossal Cables, that he's sending me one of his cables to show off at the fest. Brian has worked for Bogner for the last five years and has had a lot of encouragement from Reinhold. I tested a ton of cables with him and, IMO, they should be a major player soon.

Anyone have some high end stuff we can A/B it with?

[swampthing]

Good news.

Jeorge Tripps sent shipping confirmation. I'll have all 3 new Way Huge pedals in tow for the fest. Good times :)

I've got a Tara cable that I'll have with me.

[whoismarykelly]

Im sending a BJFE Folk Fuzz clone down with Beavis Audio if anyone was interested in hearing one without shelling $600 out for a BJFE pedal.

[EXP]

I cant make it man(unless Eric is going and I can ride with him). Hurricane Ike really f@#ked up my plans for this weekend.

[swampthing]

Just so I don't hit the wrong place....This is at the Oltorf location, yes?

Excellent, looking forward to it. We'll see ya soon.

[Millo 3.1]

rehearsals fell through, I'll try to be there from around 3-5pm... Later!

[swampthing]

Don't know about y'all but I had a good time. Thanks to Greg for setting it up...and thanks to Brad for bringing all the mother load for us kiddos to play with :)

[dksouthpaw]

yeah i had a blast! definitely have some new G.A.S.

Hey UnkleSlam are you guys gonna be putting those videos y'all took up anywhere? I had to leave before i got to see the WMD Fatman in action and wanted to see!!!

[dksouthpaw]

Oh and we need a smiley for GAS, I'm thinking a like this one :barf1, but with a cloud coming out the back end...

OH and don't forget to petition for reinstating Mullet Kingdom!

[jisforjustin]

Wow, had a great time and got to hear some awesome effects and show off some of my own. I hope this keeps happening every year, thanks Greg!

[wtdpblake]

What a day, eh?! I put up a little photo gallery from the event. Holly and I had a great time and it was good to meet everyone. Hopefully we can do it again next year!

Thanks Greg (aka Mullet Kingdom) for again taking the laboring oar to row the boat of tone ashore in ATX. Great to see Swampthing again (well have to do that more often than just at Pedalfests) and to meet Mr. Beavis and the other talented pedal folks.

That was a room full of toys, boys and joyous noise. :RoCkIn:RoCkIn:RoCkIn

Yeah, we'll probably be adding some of the footage to our Youtube page in the next few days. :)

[eric-d]

Had a good 'ole time - Tone Factor and Line 6 had some nice toys to show off - The new Swollen Pickle is just RIDICULOUS!!!!! Really liked the new version of the Huckleberry too!!! The Huck completely blew the some "name brand" fuzz's out of the water! I think my little Fuzz Face "Mini" could hold it's own too... :D

[R Morrow]

Great pedals, great folks, great time, bad gas. Thanks to all who made this possible!
