Happy man
Watching : bleeding through - kill to believe
this little baby here have just been added to my rig just yesterday. this is the coolest thing ever! this have always been part of my dream owning this thing! it's a TS808! though it's a resissue, but to hell with it! it screams and it's one of the best pedal ever created on earth. it's goes very well with my DS7, any either way, a booster, or an overdrive.
it's truly heaven owning this 2 ibanez pedal. i wonder why Jerry thinks so highly of BOSS pedal when there's just sweet pedals made by ibanez. personal preference though. he loves screwing out the screws and check on the PCB (it's not pua chee bye, it's printed circuit board) to see if it's 'VINTAGE' with that damn french accent.
well still, i have to thank him for being so patient helping me with all the knowledges about music. in terms of hardware and tone. and having the patience to actually accompany me through all the testing of pedals and guitars.
well, it's time i stop GASing (gear aquiring syndrome) and start brushing up on my skills. the financial thing is weighing me down. so no more GASing and start saving up for guitar lesson. better start fast and start planning now. and i really must have the determination on not to anyhow spend money.
----------------------------
so yesterday, i went to Jerry's house first as to actually decide on whether to get the TS9DX or Jekyll and Hyde. initially, TS808 never cross my mind because it was over my budget. we thought that the swee lee usual 20% discount don't go with the pedals. so i was in a dilema. i will blog about how it came about later.
so we read up, and talk shit about on amps and pedals. Jerry got a 'VINTAGE'(yes, with that damn french accent) DD2. he was so pleased because the guy who sold him didn't know his gears. he still sell it with another HM2 for $150. so he deal with him imeediately.
anyway, we went to swee lee first to test out my pedal. initially, we tested out TS9DX. it's good i must say, fattens the tone with smoothing it out. great as a booster. then Jerry thought since we are there, might as well test the digitech bad monkey. it's smoothen out the tone, not very rich, but it's a better overdrive than TS9DX. while Jerry's testing the bad monkey, that's when the swee lee malay guy came in. he's a very friendly guy. cleared out all our doubts without hesitating. every question we ask, he replied in a jiffy.
now this is where Jerry asked about the TS808. the malay guy said, he tested the 808 and he's very impressed. it's actually crossover, a mixture of bad monkey and TS9DX. he wanted to get that himself. then he recommended us that. he took it out showed and tested 808. i was fucking blown away can. so i thought, maybe i can get that. so we enquired about the swee lee discount. it's applicable. just nice $252. it's within my budget.
bet that guy was devasted when he found out it's the last TS808. he hoped that sim drive still have stock. i hope so too. he's really a friendly nice chap.
we left and went to G77 to buy Jerry's daisy chain.
then we parted ways, i went to lion dance and Jerry went to work. well, i won't go into the fine details about the lion dance trip. it's just pure fun.
well, i'm going to chalet tomorrow and on saturday. will update on that when i get back.
