Since late December, I've been playing my tweed amp rather than using pedals into a pedal platform amp.

So I've finally picked up a Lazy J Cruiser Deuce to go with to.

This isn't your regular overdrive pedal. Run it into a clean pedal platform amp, and you'll regret the purchase.

It's specifically designed to go in front of a tweed amp to act like a second channel (ie a lead boost).

Only had 10 mins with it, but I already got some great rhythm tones out of it!

Got up this morning to finish off a new #HomeToneBlog #guitar blog post about compressors.

Went to export the audio I'd recorded yesterday. Couldn't match the audio up to the placeholders I'd put into the blog post.

Realised I'd screwed up the track labels 🤦‍♂️

I'd better re-record these and get the damn track labels right this morning.

Hoping to spend a lazy day catching up on my backlog of #guitar #HomeToneBlog blog posts that I want to write.

What I share here - and on the #HomeToneBlog http://hometoneblog.com - is just my personal experience as a home hobbyist.

I don't claim any expertise or skill with this stuff at all. If you want great advice, ask a pro, not me 🙂

(#LUNA is still updating ...)

Just finished my draft blog post for the #ToneCity #Mandragora overdrive pedal.

Full #HomeToneBlog #FirstImpressions post will be out next week.

tl;dr - if you need a fairly generic overdrive with nice mids that won't steal the limelight from other instruments, it's worth getting one.

Sadly, there seem to be no people within my observable fediverse who are talking about the #Klon 🙁

I guess I need to try and help with that on Sunday, with a live #CoffeeAndKlon thread. Don’t think I’ve done one of those yet this year? I can’t remember.

Topic will be the #PRS #Horsemeat pedal. Spoiler alert: great great pedal, but not replacing the Klon on my board.

Afterwards, I’ll repost it on the #HomeToneBlog with audio samples.

Today, I think I finally figured out why there are times I prefer #TweedTone and times that I prefer #PlexiTone.

Going to cogitate on that for a few days, to see if it sticks or not.

That moment when you go looking for a pedal review, and end up on your own blog post from the before-times about a related pedal 😂

I got all excited this afternoon.

Spotted a rare tweed-tone pedal at a certain UK box-shifter's website, in the Used section.

It's scuffed up, doesn't seem to include the original box.

Deal-breaker though is they're trying to sell it for £10 less than full retail price. And it's in stock brand-new elsewhere.

This is why I never click 'Buy' the moment I see something that looks like a bargain. Always better to double-check first!
