Just received new custom guitar pedal!

[Platypus]

I asked a custom pedal builder to make me something unique based on one of his pedals the '? Lady,' which itself is a variation of the Triangle Knob Big Muff Pi fuzz/sustainer pedal from the 70s. I can give some tech details if guitarists are interested but here are some pretty pictures of this sweet little pedal I dubbed the 'pLADYpus'

Not sure if anyone cares or not but we'll see if there are guitar players out there!

Of course, after I finish this AIX upgrade I'm doing for work.

It has way more sustain and gnarly in your face tone.. picture the Siamese Dream album by the Smashing Pumpkins mixed with Nine Inch Nails.

Goddammit, I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT. :|

Don't you have more important things to be doing?

rest of sound series plz.

Neat! I had a custom pedal made a few years back and it's been my #1 since then. I got a Yardbox made by Prescription Electronics. It's some Ma & Pa hole in the wall that makes some awesome stuff.

The Yardbox is a near exact copy of the Solasound Tone Bender. It's like a combo distortion/overdrive, and will give unending sustain with good humbuckers.

Here's a sample

I know everytime I play somewhere, someone asks about it. It's a cool feeling getting something that is exactly what you're looking for.

As promised, here are some clips:

Mayonaise
Cherub Rock

Sorry for sloppy playing, too excited messing around with knobs.

Holy sh!t. Nice... how much did that drain you? How long have you been playing for? I just started playing last Christmas... bought this Alvarez Acoustic to start on. Bought myself this fender strat a few months later. It's fun to play on. I've just been teaching myself songs basically. I'm more into Zeppelin, Clapton, Floyd, etc. Been playing drums for 13 years though

It drained me a bit

I've been a musician for a while, played lots of instruments throughout my entire life but I just started playing guitar seriously again 2 years ago after taking a 6 year break. I play all kinds of stuff, Zep, Cream, Sabbath, Floyd, all the way up to grunge, heavy metal, death metal, pretty much anything.

I've got too much gear .... 3 guitars, 3 amps, etc.

Sweet. Ever hear In Flames? or... Trivium? Or anything like that? Also.. can you play any Page/Clapton solo's note for note? I just have a little 25W amp to play on. Whenever me and friends jam I'm always on drums. They've been playing guitar for much longer then me and have better equipment then me. My friend just bought a nice Fender Deluxe tube amp. Thing is a beast.

Yeah I could if I wanted to, but I prefer to make my own solos

Yes to both bands, don't care for the latter and the former was much better before their last few records I've got a Mesa Dual Rectifier tube head, an Orange tube combo, and a Mesa Stiletto tube combo on order. The clips I made were with the Dual Rec.
