So I’m going to return the Fender Shields Blender fuzz. Just not connecting with it. Going to pick up something else to replace it

PAASTEL @paastel.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

I really wanted to like the Fender Shields Blender fuzz pedal a lot more than I actually did. Not saying it’s a bad pedal, just doesn’t do what I want a fuzz pedal to do.

For #guitarsky, here is pedalboard no. 2 as currently constructed. EHX Op-Amp Muff > Walrus Polychrome > UAD Starlight > OBNE Screen Violence > Meris LVX. I’m probably going to sell the Starlight - great pedal but the LVX can do it all (and more).

We have a great opportunity to make #musicsky more than just artists building their audience. We have the opportunity to make bluesky a place where artists and fans *talk* to each other. Ask me anything, or tell me anything you about yourself/your work that you want to share.

Going to check out the Mooer R7 mk2 pedal. I’ve always been more of a boutique pedals guy but not that many options for stereo reverse reverb.

I think I might have seen this for the first time on 120 Minutes. I already loved Gish but this was a major statement of intent. Like Loveless, there was nothing like it. Not even their own stuff.
