finally, after the wait for forever. my new pedal is here, in my hands!! it's a long story on how i managed to coax it into my hands. pretty much like a historical moment. it was my first ebay bid/buy(my first overseas buy to be exact), my first pedal after a significantly long period of time, as well as my introduction to the world of fuzz.

it was quite an eventful time, since the seller decided to go awol on me for a good 5 days after i transfered him the S$215.70. when he finally replied, i had to wait another whole week before it supposedly arrived at my gate. the postman somehow managed to get into my condo without alerting us and since my doorbell is spoilt he couldnt reach anyone of us. and then, oh the horror, brought it back to the post office which i can only collect on a working day on working house. thank God for my mom though who kindly got it for me after a slight disagreement with the postal lady.

okay wadeva.. and now.. presenting to you.. all the way from some remote place in the deserts of australia.. my the latest toy?

a Cusack Screamer Fuzz v1



okay to be honest it wasnt really as awesome as i expected it to be, especially after listening to MGC and how he'd used it for all those edgey lead riffs, you know those overdriven solos with a little texture of fuzz. it wasnt as hmm.. wide? as i expected it to be, but largely due to the fact that i probably didnt have enough tweeking done to it. the overdrive(or scream they call it) kinda was a little like my ibanez ts808, with a greater low and less of a mid bump. the fuzz knob enables a really wide range, from smooth to rather aggressive. THOUGH, the volume knob gets ultra sensitive when the fuzz and overdrive is engaged. i nearly had my eardrums blew open when i plugged it in. overall though, im rather happy with the buy, bid, wadeva. it sorta adds a own flavour to the lead lines, and also maybe an excuse to play more weezer music.

now the sad part is, my boss ce-2 seems to have some issues again. this time it seems to be able to have its LED lighted up even without a power supply, though it seems to be true-bypass whether its on or off. sad gotta go get it looked at again.
