The Melvins - one of my favorite videos

[Walt-Dogg]

Yeah I e-mailed him. I asked him to just put the graphic of Buzz on it, seems very professional to me, like a signature pedal, that way.

[grimniggzy]

yeah, I went for the buzz graphic as well, its pretty hilarious.

(Implying that Buzz isn't funny looking anyways with that hair of his)

Mine's finished, payed for and on its way today. I got the green one.

[Walt-Dogg]

Mine's the raw aluminum one. Which means, I can't tell if it's the one on the right of left, but it's the one with the red text on the inside of the casing. I'm going to have to put off sending payment till around Christmas almost.

[grimniggzy]

Yeah, figured one of those was yours Walt-Dogg.

I think yours is the one on the right thats a little shinier.
But I'm just going by what I thought from comparing these...



When he told me I could make the pedal any color I wanted I browsed his site and decided that shade of green was crazy enough and not too bright to look cool atop his face.

I almost didn't have enough $$$ in my account to cover this either. I forgot about it and made a big purchase last weekend, but I had just enough to cover it and still be able to see Crowbar on Monday.
If I wasn't already 99% done Chrismas shopping we'd both be waiting for them.

[Walt-Dogg]

Yeah, the one on the right for sure is mine then.

I have the money in my bank, but cash is getting a bit tight for me right now so I told my family that I wanted a custom ordered Bazz Fuss for Christmas. So in week or so when I see my family, I'll get the money for it and send it to Mike for my pedal.

[grimniggzy]

haha, commendable hustle.

[Walt-Dogg]

Very, haha. Mine came today, I ended up just wiring the money to him from my bank anyways. It's a good pedal, lack of controls is actually a downside and I thought it would be an upside, haha oh well. I do like it though, definitely a cross between a Russian Big Muff and maybe I guess a Fuzz Factory really.

[grimniggzy]

Yeah, I'm 100% there with you on the whole lack of control but I guess get it. Definitely a cool pedal, I like that it kinda sounds organic the way it does. looks like I'll still be pulling out one of my older big muffs though for now, still need THAT sound.
I think my next pedal purchase will either be a Crowther Prunes & Custard or a Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie B between those and my current pedals I think I'll have all my tones covered as far as recording is concerned.

Great video, thanks for posting. I totally dig this song. I have a love/hate relationship with The Melvins. When seek them out to listen to them, I'm not impressed or not in the mood for them once I get there. When I by chance run across them, I'm blown away - like in this case, I wasn't expecting to have my ass kicked by this video. To me, the Melvins are starting to become like Clutch, meaning I had the same relationship with Clutch for years and years and then one day - the ass kicking became permanent and I love em all the time - anytime is Clutch time. I think The Melvins will be there soon. Going to work on that!

By the way, going to scout out a second Beta Lead today! a 4X10 combo!
