dude im probably gonna die in like 2 years anyway what the fuck is the point of me being miserable and unable to do the one thing i was put on fucking earth to do

i bought myself a vintage mesa boogie transatlantic 2x12 combo, an mxr 10 band eq (vintage mesa boogies have super distinct crunch but the eq control is basically nonexistent), a basic boss cs-3 compressor and just found a good deal on a like-new line 6 DL4 delay modeler (those things are so fucking cool and ive wanted one forever); im adding all this to my pedalboard w/ waza blues driver, MIJ boss chorus pedal, wammy pitch shifter and behringer digital delay pedal (i make grunge/shoegaze music); would love to post a pic of my setup when its all done

im still playing drums on a sound percussion (starter drum kit) with like one upgraded cymbal lol, so literally the whole kit sounds like shit, but the one cymbal sounds amazing, now i basically have to upgrade the kit

found a guy selling a drum mic kit for $300 that comes with x3 sm57s and a shure b57 or whatever (dynamic kick mic) and i already have two overheads for the stereo cymbal sound i'm hoping to get

yeah i wont be able to go to the hospital for a while but who fucking cares dude im not gonna live forever. this shit makes me so happy. i want to start a nonprofit record label one day and all of this shit is an investment

follow your dreams

sorry for rambling like a lunatic lol

Is it a bass version? Cause I've used the guitar one with a bass before and though it's better than other pedals you do still lose some low end that way (my favorite distortion pedal is some off brand garbage that let's me pretty much turn my bass into a heavy 4 string guitar, it can be useful). The one I stick with for everything is my vig muff pi bass version, it's a sick fuzz pedal and it holds the low end as well.

If it's bright orange it's probably a DS-1 which does indeed lose low end, but also Al Cisneros use one of those in both Sleep and Om so it obviously works for bass regardless lol

It's still a good pedal

Oh yeah, I've got one

It is definitely not the bass version and sounds like shit on the low notes lmao. I bought it like 20 years ago when I picked up guitar the first time.
