I play in my bedroom every day. Nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. I suspect the phrase is supposed to indicate a teenager living with his parents. Language is so often used to subtley undermine and denigrate others.

I don't know the album, however if I see any record described as the most 'overhyped, and overrated album of the entire 1980s' and it doesn't feature Phil Collins then I know I'm on shaky ground.

Ooerr

I feel increasingly out of step on some of the issues raised hereabouts. I got the 5th Beatle gag, but most other comments are bewildering. Is it that folk feel the Beatles provide an insufficiently significant contribution to the subject? Is it snobbery from people who have degrees in more 'important' disciplines? Or reverse snobbery from those who think all students are a waste of time? I can't work it out.

I took delivery this morning of a slim, blood red pedal from One Control. My first thought was, huh? What's this all about? A kind of dull, low gain distortion with one more knob than it really needs. But then... Oof! I plugged it into my Elf, and through a set of decent headphones. This is a fat barsteward of a pedal. I can't describe the sound it creates, but I can compare it. Closest thing I ever heard like it was my Ampeg SVT CL. My lukewarm response first time around was (I suspect) all about low volume levels (shared house) through my cab. I still don't know what will happen when I move a more respectable volume of air, but through headphones it sounded divine. There is still the question of that extra knob though. Mine has the word 'brilliance' written next to it. I wonder, do they all say that? Or do they, perhaps, have different names relating to light? Either way it makes literally zero difference to the sound.

First up, I'm really sorry you have to go through this nonsense. But I'm also glad you shared it with us all. Thank you.

Agreed. Good luck!

I am a restless soul. I don't think I'll ever be able to finalise the chain. Except for my finger tips and my ears everything else is always up for grabs.

Beautiful work @Andyjr1515

I love mine. Less fizzy that the California. I think the Orange Juice is very similar, but much smaller.

I am itching to get hands on it!

Live And Dangerous, but ask me again in 20 years and it'll be Vulfpeck MSG. Probably

Living the dream man!
