    when you say Avant-Garde the first thing I think of is John Cage.

    Though Avant-Garde is a pretty loose term. It doesn’t mean “against the grain” it means “vanguard.” Avant-Garde is anything that pushes the boundaries.

    I think avant-garde is way to broad to be used as a label for a particular genre of music. And it’s also in the eye of the beholder, because so much of the art that’s been described as such is in fact anchored in the period of its conception.

    PS: The problem with the French is that they don’t have a word for “agent provocateur”. 😆

    Haz in loop mode: pick chord -> swell w/ guitar volume knob -> record loop when the chord is up at full volume -> play lead over the loop.

    Sonic youth isn’t punk, SY is definitely avant-garde. Kinski is another avant-garde band I like too.

    I guess we could all use a course in labels. :D I’ve been a huge SY fan for almost 20 years now, but I always thought of them as an art-rock band. Avant-garde is so passé… :P

    Look at the definition of “avant-garde”, SY fit it perfectly!

    So does Bjñ¶rk. Bjñ¶rk is not art rock, SY are. :)

    Never heard of them, but it’s good stuff. Black Widow’s great, that’s the best of the lot, imho.

    Either we can’t get along personally or there are no people that would want to play even similar music as i do or it just doesn’t work because there isn’t that “magic”

    You know, if luck doesn’t come your way the first time round, sometimes it helps sticking with something that’s not quite right just to get in the flow of things. My first bands weren’t the best, but by playing with them, I learned a lot and got to know the people with whom I enjoy playing and have a great time now.

    Devi is a supercool pedalgod… nice to talk to, replies to anything (unless shes busy)

    and then also, i have found that many of her fuzz pedals sound so sweet.

    though i shortened down my board… so all i have from her is a synth mangler…

    (ñ†nima, KF & TP) is on the shelf til i decide to do something with them.. i fear that i might regret selling them, but they dont work for me when im with the band… )

    Yeah, it often happens with those weird and wonderful effects, you love the sound but just can’t fit it into what you’re doing. I’d keep if I were you, though. You never know when they’ll come in handy.

    I will recommend the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+ to anyone, it’s a great product. I power everything except for my Frequency Analyzer with it (though its adapter is plugged into the courtesy outlet.)

    You can power any 9vdc pedal, 24vdc pedal, 12vdc pedal, or 18vdc pedal with it with no noise.

    The Cathedral will need a high current 9v out, which the PP2+ supplies. And for the Memory Man (I’m assuming deluxe?) you can get a special cable to get 24v.

    Pedalboards- I suggest you make your own. Some old bed slats or 2x4s and some properly sized screws you can make a grid pattern, then paint or stain it. You can put a couple extra at the back to lean it- then mount a PP2+ underneath, and mount all the pedals on top. I use mounting brackets to mount my pedals, but you can also use velcro. In case of velcro, you can use aluminum construction (which is lighter.) Pedaltrain boards are supposed to be really good. Personally I hate velcro. Gets the back of your pedals gross, the velcro never seems to hold and always comes off, and just keeps your pedals too loosely on the board.

    I second Julian’s take on the PP2+, well worth the investment, I use it myself. As a Pedaltrain user, I have to disagree with him about velcro, though. It works great for me, pedals are firmly stuck on the board and everything’s really neat and easy to rearrange if need be. More question of taste, I guess.

    im shocked to see this! not only did humbuckers top the pickups poll, but not many people like trem bars?

    not what i would have expected.

    I voted fixed earlier on but just spent about an hour wigglin’ away on my Strat. It’s a pain when a string brakes mid-song during a gig (mine’s not set flat so it goes horribly out of tune) but it’s an awful lot of fun. :)

    1973 Gibson ES-335
    1973 Gibson Goldtop Deluxe routed out for full sized humbuckers. The guitar currently has 1964 patent number pickups.
    2003 Gretsch 1962-6122 RI
    Fender 1962 RI Strat

    I also have (not pictured) a 1978 Guild D25, 1975 Martin D18, Nash T52 Telecaster, and a Philippe Jean-Mairet handmade classical guitar.
    My first guitar was a Czech made Jolana which I still have.
    I feel like a complete guitar glutton.

    Nice. :thumb: BTW, my first guitar was also Czech made, a 3/4 size Cremona classical.
