The Fuzz Munchkin is awesome! It’s a monster, sounds just like J! It makes the Blue box sound phenomenal to. Love it!
The Fuzz Munchkin just arrived in the mail. I got No. 167, no autograph (That’s OK, I have plenty) I’ve had bad luck posting pictures and I’m at work. I’ll hook it up tonight, give her a whirl and let you know what I think.
So while I’m waiting for that Fuzz Munchkin to get in I ordered a Double Rock. I found out that the Purple Sparkle is limited to the forst 200. They can be found, but as of yesterday there’s one less.
Though it is expensive I am very pleased. It’s 6 pedals in one, 2 Box of Rocks, 2 Super Hard Ons (Boost) 2 Distortrons and I am very impressed by the great tone that can be achieved by it. For the first time I felt like a real guitarist. It is so lush and creamy. Cranking it up really makes this baby wail! Total J Mascis. And when you combine it with boost, this things sqeals like any Dino song I’ve ever heard.
I played it through my modded J Mascis Fender Jazzmaster. The pick ups are my Curtis Novak and the Volume and Tone from RS Guitarworks.
I’m inspired to play more and sound better, which this thing does. I think I’m going to cal mine Falkor because this thing just brought me 9891 miles closer to the goal : )
Eh, the quality is no where near the level of ” What the Corners” It’s the quality of some really bad 80’s video’s. They were probably going for that. The sound system thing and mid-life crisis is probably something the older guys can relate to. I just upgraded the speakers to Pioneers in my car. Nothing like what they have in the video. In fact the budget may have gone to that sound system makeing the video so poor…
@empire2 I tried last night with no success. It was around 7:05 PM Eastern time. I had one in my cart but by the time I hit the checkout button it was gone.
This morning it went up around 6:58 AM and the different thing I did was to refresh the page using the book mark tab on my page instead of the refresh button. The refresh button was slow at times last night where as the favorite button acts like it was going to that page for the first time. It was a lot faster. I hit the checkout button and this time it cleared. I was very excited!
@Hybridge only the first 100 came with song titles. Though someone did ask if he was going to add songs from the new album while he was making them last week, I don’t think he did, but who knows. It appears that Tym is up to about 190 so far. One interesting thing I didn’t know about is one in every batch will come signed by J. I have plenty of autographs from J and have met him, so maybe not the biggest deal, but still very cool.I was a bit iffy regarding the price on this thing, but I am a guitar player and I’m having a custom amp made by Gabriel Amps. It’s totally worth it. J has never found another one that sounds like his and these are clones of that. Big Muffs are well revered and a boutique one is going to cost a lot anyways. I have no qualms about it now and I’m glad I finally landed one. Now I’m saving up for a Double Rock!
Oh, Without a Sound and Hand it Over Remastered! Hopefully we get an American Release! (Or did I miss them?)
empire2 said: I have not watched this and I’m using a memory from nearly 20 years ago but was it not written about the time J skied and broke a leg and then “felt the pain ” until the morphine “felt nothing ” or is it that pesky publicist again 🙂!!!
I can’t watch the video for 5 days as I’ve moved to the countryside and my phone can only just do this …. So sorry if it is mentioned !
I always thought it was attributed to his carpel tunnel. I remember getting the impression that J may not be able to play guitar in the future. I was worried…
