The Hondo H-737 I recently began the process of downsizing my pedal collection, as touched upon in this post. Two of the pedals that I was selling were $30-$35 mini pedals that you can snag on Amazon, a Mosky Plexi-M and a Kokko Compressor. If I’m spending $30 on a pedal, I’m pretty much writing…

It’s been 2.5 months since I released “Go On” and “It Feels Familiar”. I’d hoped to have more music done by now, but this year hasn’t been great for me, health wise. As the title of this post indicates, I am working on two new songs for upcoming release. One of them is a rocker…
The other day, I posted a bit of a rambling post about the decision to part ways with my pedal board and a number of pedals. Today, I finalized the decision to do so. I’ve sorted all of the pedals I own into categories and which ones I’m keeping, which ones I’m getting rid of,…
Pedals. In 2007 or so, I joined The Gear Page forum and learned of a world of boutique guitar pedals that, in many opinions, left the world of Boss and DOD/Digitech pedals I’d always known in the dust. The very first pedal I bought through that forum was a Zvex Box of Rock and I…
Part of this post was originally part of a post talking about “Go On”, but after some thought, I decided that I wanted to have a post for each song I release. I’m moving the bit that was part of that post to it’s own and expanding on it a little. Unlike previous releases, “Go…
Back in 2021 when I started work on Volume Four before burn out caused me to stop, I put together drums for what would become “Go On” and eventually “It Feels Familiar”. This song is apparently in 6/8 but I don’t remember choosing grooves in 6/8. The only reason I know it’s that tempo is…
Health and Burn Out Between hospital trips, doctor appointments, and back pain that can get pretty severe, work on Volume Four (henceforth referred to as V4) saw numerous delays. Every time it felt like I was getting wheels back on, something came up and caused another delay. “Go On”, which is the first track of…
This post doesn’t really have much to do with music, streaming, gaming, painting D&D miniatures, or anything else that I use this site for. Heck, it might not even show up on any Google searches, but in the event someone is faced with the same situation I was, I wanted that person to know they…

I’m currently on my 2nd revision of the way I have this site laid out. At first, I didn’t realize how to include the sidebars on each page, and recreated every page as a post. Once I’d done that, I realized how to make the pages have the sidebars and switched them all back. Now,…
If you head over to the Pedals page, you’ll find a listing of the current pedals I own. If one were to count all of the sky blue names on that page, I have a whopping FIFTEEN different drive pedals in my current pedal chain. Fifteen! One might be inclined to ask, “Why in the…
