There’s a Mr Sparkle 808 & another reverb from a separate company. Go for it Thanks for this Tom. I've just had 24h of getting brigaded by the GojiraFX fanclub. Turns out they're also based in Scotland and quite precious about the idea that another Scot would have the audacity to take an image from a Simpsons episode and put it on something that resembled an overdrive pedal. Last fucking time I listen to you. (Actually I don't mean that, the daft bastard shared my listing to his 6k followers. More ideas like that please!)

Tom 13861 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Seriously? What a knacker Theres a canny few Mr Sparkle pedals out there like. I’ll buy one off you eventually but I need to shift some gear first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1236 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Aye, tbf I missed the first half of it kicking off and woke up to a few bizarre messages accusing me of nicking their Intellectual Property. It's all good though, kept me entertained on an otherwise uneventful Thursday. Best part is I only made four and gave two of them away to Simpsons fanatic friends, had no real intention of making more anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1236 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Aye Jim Morrison had a point, people are fucking strange. We all have our moments tbf. Given that they're also Scottish (which weirdly seems to be main point of contention) I'm fairly confident it's a non-issue that could be easily solved over a whisky and a quick chat to guage how many generations back our families are probably connected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4223 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 New Spiritbox albums been out for a couple of weeks, absolute banger in my book. Heavy as shit in some places, almost poppy in others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really my cup of tea but refreshing to see a Canadian metal band that doesn't involve Jeff Waters or Devin Townsend and isn't Voivod I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34508 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 My tele is double bound. They look great but they're uncomfortable as fuck to play cos it's sharp edges all round. Teles in general aren't built for comfort though, so I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13861 Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 I was after a NUX Steel Singer as Guitar Guitar couldn’t honour my first order but they didn’t have one in stock. So I picked up this instead. Really nice, fun pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13861 Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 Yes I was bored tbh, I just wanted a pedal. It’ll replace the Behringer reverb & delay on the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
