    Sweet! It;s funny how I try not to play my Les Paul as much as possible but it's become so important to me for work that I got the cheap PRS that could cover for it on gigs. I'm not really a fan of Gibson as a company but "I can't quit them" as a guitarist.

    Question: HEAT CHECK - Would I like to post a thread to gauge the interest in possibly maybe having a "Smurfstock" get-together in Austin in May (or September)?

    It'as something I'd love to participate in. September is hard because its the beginning of the school year. May is almost as hard this year because its the end of the school year and its so close. I would definitely try for the may one if it happened though

    Question: Anyone know of a rechargeable tuner pedal?

    I don't know of a rechargeable tuner pedal on its own. All of my battery stuff is powered with a small powerbank or int he case of the Valeton GP5 I keep in my school bag I just plug my phone into it to power it.

    Any of you nerds at NAMM this year?

    I didn't go this year. Just too much other stuff going on at the school (Mellissa Ethridge is doing a masterclass for us tomorrow being one of the many things making my hair fall out this week). I also got a sense that there wasn't much to go for anyway since most new products are released on...

    What's your monthly average grocery spend? Do you track it?

    We started shopping at Aldi's once we discovered how cheap it is. Due to vairous dietary restrictions and preferences in the house we also get a few things at Trader Joes and Target. For four people including a 20 year old son and a 17 year old daughter we probably spend on average about...

    I don't know why I even bother

    I'm in a weird space of making music for a living but not making the music that "makes me live". During the down times, I've started putting together songs that I can sing and possibly lead a pickup band through with the idea of eventually having my own thing. I'll never not make music, but...

    NGD! I LOVE GOLLLLDDDDD.......

    The replacement came with noisy pots (they cleaned up fine) anxd the input jack for some reason was super tight to the point that it took a day of plugging and unplugging the guitar for it to feel normal. I think I'm fine keeping it but at first I was very unhappy with the way it came out of...

    Whats funny is that I now have two ToneX ones and a full sized pedal. One ToneX one is the battery powered board I keep in my gigbag, one is goiung in my rolling Fractal FM9 case with an LI box snd my other Airstep TX and the full sized one lives under my desk that I use when I'm teaching...

    Thanks! I haven't been working the social media stuff much lately but I think I'm going to creep back in time permitting.

    Found Mark Wein’s Secret Instagram Account

    Buying Tik Tok followers is pathetic and not of real use. Haven't used this in a long time lol

    The year in review?

    I "liked" everyone's posts because I just want to acknowledge that I saw it, not that I'm enjoyed everyone's troubles.

    Anyone around? Trying a livestream thing...

    Yeah - I need to try another mic and everyone came home and I just needed to pack it up for now. Happy with the ToneX into the SSL 12 though.
