The Alt.Country Club 33: Thirty Three and a Third

[nodepression]

Been watching old time music videos and wound up selling my bass rig.

Had a guy in Arizona build me a banjo. I'm actually having fun with music again. It's got me writing again as well.

I thought this thread was dead. I've not seen it on regular front page rotation as before.

Unfortunately, most of the prior inhabitants of this thread succumbed in a large hot tub accident. “Lime and Liver” flavored Jell-O shots were involved over the course of a hot afternoon, and as the hot tub waters churned wildly with a steady stream of burrito bubbles and “recycled beer” foam someone had the very bright idea to attempt to gather the amps around and jam in the water. All was well, despite the occasional teeth-clenching shock, until a runaway faulty water heater rose steadily high enough to cause some of the sub-Mensa inebriants to nod off and slip slowly below the waves. Were it not for the later explosion (burrito methane off-gassing, guitar sparks) it is thought that some might have actually survived the submersion in the highly aerated waters...

Death by methane. I fully understand.

Shocking!

If I’m dead, why do my knees still hurt?!?

Half Vertex, half Fulltone.

Your pedalboard content reply @christophervolume has earned you the prestigious “TGP Stir Stick” award. Very well done sir.

I’m really enjoying the Chase Tone Secret Pre. It’s become an always-on pedal at the end of my albeit short signal chain following a Red Panda Context Reverb and a Keeley Compressor Plus after the Boss tuner. If anyone has any overdrive suggestions that play well with the Secret Pre, I’d love to hear them.

FWIW, I miss this thread, too. I’m not much of a contributer, but I sure enjoy it. If it gets going again, I’ll try to add more to the conversation if I can.

I feel like alt-country has fallen by the wayside and I’m the last man standing at the roller rink in my Members Only jacket.

The Alt-C Boat is in a better place now... Letting sleeping dogs lie.

Also, you might add Keeley and Chase Tone to that list there @christophervolume.

Of course.

I plug them all into my wall of Zs.
