Scott Shriner (bass Weezer) sent in this snap from his rehearsal space, while gearing up for the North American tour in support of their top ten "Red Album." Scott wrote to tell us: "The Bass Big Muff Pi is great for a single cab situation with the dry setting, I love it. It's the new standard for fuzz bass."
Check out this hilarious demo of the Bass Micro Synthesizer! We should point out that he's actually "playing" a guitar -- next time try it with a bass, and the asprin is on us...
Devo's first album, "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo" — now widely recognized as a classic — was released a whopping 30 years ago (July 1978), and ushered in the first wave of proud geek warriors.
In the picture above, standing to the left, you can just barely see that Mark Mothersbaugh has an Electro-Harmonix pedal (we're not 100% sure, but we believe it's a Frequency Analyzer) duct-taped to his guitar. But you can't miss it in the picture below, a screen-cap from the video for their cover of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction":You can watch the "Satisfaction" video, in full mongoloid glory, here (look for the shot at about 10 seconds into the clip):

EHX friend Justin Rohrlich writes to tell us that page 79 of "Lobotomy" (Dee Dee Ramone's autobiography) includes the following:
"The first show we did at CBGB's was ok. {snip} The Ramones were a very theatrical group then--like a play set to loud, sick music. We had two Mike Matthews amps from Electro Harmonics (sic) set up on chairs. They had four tens in them and were very hot-roddish."
Do you have something that you'd like to share with the Electro-Harmonix community? (a tip on getting a great sound, a cool site, a video, or whatever?) Please send your

Did you know that Electro-Harmonix makes many of the world's greatest vacuum tubes? The next time you need to re-tube your guitar, bass, or hi-fi amp, be sure to insist on getting authentic Electro-Harmonix tubes.
