EAT

Can't seem to shake that guitar. I lose it every few years, but it keeps coming back for more. Slightly modified blues tuning, lost the diminished chord on top, brought the 5th down to a 4th. Sounds better. There are 3 main elements to this. The "beat" pedal loop, the "tone" pedal loop, and the guitar. All 3 feed into the "tone" pedal loop in variable ways.

Wifey Blues

Wifey Blues by Some Pepper
Bluesing aways on current and favorite setup. Beasty beats from trem, eq, pog, and delay. Bluesy bleeps from fuzz, me30, delay, and all working together through 4-track.
No source, all output.
This widow ain't no sponge on society!

Just grateful.

Patricia Brewer

Is in the foreground. Lotsa tapes. 49. Gonna make you some tapes in August. Now is the time for requests. I will mail them if necessary.


that 4 track is nothing but a glorified mixer. don't get your iron oxide panties in a bind, they'll peel right off. the tapes will get their say in the "mixing" process.
I will feed them through each other.
Also, if you want the original content of the tape I give you that I recorded over, I'm digitizing them beforehand, and will put them somewhere for you to download.

Didn't think you needed to see this

But then I listened to it on these things Carl gave me called "headphones", and I like it a whole lot! Wet "n" Wild!


If you can't hear a "beat" at the beginning, you're not wearing enough "headphones".

Two for one: The Sun and Arizona

Gonna premiere this Charmaine's Names song tonight while hosting the West Philly Roundup. And some Arizona for good measure.



Some of you are lucky enough to have an earlier more experimental version of "The Sun" on tapes I made for you. You oughta know who you are. Let's pump up the illusion together, strangers. You oughta know you're strangers. Stranger and stranger, only strangers become more familiar.

thump and wump

Very happy.
Got an equalizer pedal from Davey and a octaver from Carl.
I've cut the crap, pared down to what I'm most familiar with, oscillators in the right places, the DD-6 out of the loop and at the end. That's where it was with ye olde Touch&Taste. I can tell the threshold before it squeaks out its own sound, and the feedback levels for resonances that fill out. The DD-7 is firmly in the middle, creating its lovely over powered organ sound. Line feedback, new to me, is fed from the tremolo for that nice sucking sound into the equalizer which RULES and can adjust pitch AND volume. AWESOME. Anyhow, after playing with it for the better part of today, I'm happy to announce that I GOT THE BEAT:
