AT LAST I fixed my distortion pedal!

After months of trying to figure out why it sounded like shit, I took it apart and fixed it all by myself. It's not a fancy thing. It's a cheap DOD Grunge pedal I bought when me dad bought me my first electric. I don't like the music genre it's trying to emulate, but it is loud and filthy, and I like that.

Fuck you, floormates! I'm playing "Cortez the Killer" at an obscene volume and you are going to enjoy it! Sweet revenge!

3. Buy a Rat...

those fuckers will never break. I once had a bandmate who worked out creative differences by heaving his against the concrete walls of the rehearsal building.

Like the sound. Used one for years.

Shouting, with lighter in the air: "Like a Hurri-fucing-cane!!!!!"

4. You youngsters....

Ever hear of Link Wray?

Poke an icepick through your speaker cab a few times. Then do it some more.

THEN flail madly at the axe.

Now that's distortion, brother.
