Mooer Triangle Buff review

,

So after much deliberation and even a YouTube video to my viewers asking wether or not I should get a fuzz pedal.....basically I decided to go for one. As mentioned in the video, I have had a few over the years, but just couldn’t get along with them. I love David Gilmour’s tone and Eric Johnson, so I figure that there must be something I was missing. So I decided to go for the Mooer Triangle Buff (nice pun on the muff there!), and see if I could finally make fuzz work for me.So here is the video of my adventure and of course the review. Mooer Triangle Buff....so yes I finally got a fuzz pedal!!! But do I like it??Pedal with a funny name! But what does it sound like?EnjoyPeaceNeil

So it’s goodbye Nova System

,

As you may know (if you have followed my YouTube channel or blog for the last 5-6 years), I have put out a lot of content about the TC Electronic Nova system. I have been a massive advocate of this pedal and produced a ton of tutorials and video content on how to use it. But like all good things, this journey had to come to an end. Sadly I have sold my Nova system on to pastures new.I want to state outright that this is nothing to do with the quality of the unit or the sounds of the unit. It is just that after my recent pedalboard challenges and having a Line 6 Helix, I found that I was using the Nova less and less. I hate having good gear sitting around and not being used. So I thought it was time that it went to a good home. The Helix has amp modelling which means that I can get by with a more compact set up than having the Nova with a whole bunch of pedals and an amp. I like to travel light! You can read about my wishes for an updated Nova System here.For more reasons and explanation behind the sale, and some info on the recent CdBaby DIY Musicians conference I attended, it is all in the video...

Goodbye TC Electronic Nova System

Love to hear your thoughts and stories on the Nova system.EnjoyPeaceNeil

Brucie’s Pedalboard Challenge Video Series

,
PB-challenge.jpg

The premise is simple, can I make myself the smallest possible ‘giggable’ pedalboard? Also, can I make it versatile enough not only for gigging, but for teaching and recording as well??Now that is the question! So I have produced a series of videos which show the journey of my quest, culminating in a final video which demonstrates each of the sounds that board can produced. The heart (and brains) of the board is the Atomic Amps Amplifirebox (AFB or Ampli-firebox depending on where you read it’s name!). The whole challenge it to fit this on to a Pedaltrain Nano+ board.....can it be done??Sit back and enjoy....For more information.....Pedaltrain Nano http://amzn.to/2DqvYlAMooer Rumble Drive http://amzn.to/2DtW47vTC Flashback Mini http://amzn.to/2DRHjrKTC Polytune http://amzn.to/2DtrHgxIbanez TubeScreamer Mini http://amzn.to/2EXQNBiTrex Fuel Tank Jr http://amzn.to/2DxfUxuEnjoyPeaceNeil
