In the last few days I've been working some heavy hours, but in the mail came some wonderful guitar pedals. I got a rather rare Boss PH-1r Phaser finally, in rather beat-up shape and reeked of ozone (not a good sign). I'm timid to power it up. I need to open 'er up and see if there's any burnt bits beforehand. My schedule's been .. shall we say, "busy" lately with the Middle-East (vs. the Middle-West as it were) and, of course, Russia, so I haven't had time to play (or sleep much).
Also, Behringer has a great deal on some very inexpensive pedals ($9 each). The Analog Delay Vintage is quite nice, and there's a GEQ 7-band pedal that'll round things out nicely at the end of my pedal chain and back into my Digitech 2112 multi-effects processor and BBE Sonic Maximizer. I think I have about all the sweet-tone options now that exist. There's rumor that the Boss PH-1r is not as good as a MXR Phase 90 or Electric-Mistress "Small Stone" but that's a matter of taste. I wouldn't mind a "Blue Box" MXR Fuzz distortion as it makes guitar sound like an Atari 2600 which is pretty insane/cool. Maybe I can snag a cheap one on eBay under $50 after Christmas.
In any case, my new song will be "space" related I think, and sound a lot like the band Ardor in style guitar-wise but more layered and textural. I'll probably pull out all the stops on it and use all my tricks and heavy change-ups, but I still want to cover Limbo first (once I get a freakin' day off!)
Cheers and keep warm! It's cold outside!
