I think these cleans sound amazing! I need cleans like this immediately!! I am not so sure about the overdrive, but the cleans were just great, at least to me.

And probably has a deep and serious impact upon the guys at gear page. I hear tan is a favorite color over there.

Hey how's the neighbor kid you gave the guitar to? That thread was one of my favorite on this site!

He is the king of power chords and doesn’t want to go past them for the time being but he plays them well and has good rhythm. He seems to be pleased, especially that others recognize this as kind of a rare talent as nobody plays guitar at his school but him.
He sings and makes up his own weird lyrics that change ever time. His main song these days is called “second place is the first loser.” He wrote and dedicated a song to a girl he is in love with, her name is Fran, and the song is called, “the grand FRANyon.” (Because his love is as big as the Grand Canyon) Of course, like the others the lyrics change from performance to performance. But the crowd favorite is called, “ground chuck sirloin.” He has two serious bullies and one is named chuck, and it’s a song about disintegrating chuck. His has a bizarre little friend who often speaks of nuclear annihilation and how a person would be vaporized or disintegrated if close to the epicenter of the nuclear blast so this is often on his mind. Another hit is called, “puberty is coming,” and he shrieks about growing hair under his arm pits and the unwanted and gross changes coming to his body. Another is called “kegmastsr,” after he heard his dad speak of being the keg master. In his head, the kegmastsr single handedly controls and basically owns the party. If he so wishes, he can order his bullies gone or beerless. He will allow all the pretty girls to cut the line and show favor to them winning their hearts in the process. And last but not least, “paddywagon.”! Where we live, once in a while, a large van type thing will show up at a high school rager and they will capture as many drunk high school students as they can and make your parents come to the station and get you. In this song, he leads a siege of what he calls, “creatures of the night,” and assaults the paddywagon freeing all the, “hot chicks,” and capturing the bullies and replacing the girls spots with the bullies. Of course, this is after he has thoroughly kicked the shit out of them.
He enjoys it and I think because he uses his imagination much more than ever before it’s good for him. He vents through his songs about his anger about being bullied and the sheer injustice of it . But he seems happier overall than before and I think it’s in large part to playing guitar.

He despises bullies, and at the same time is mystified by them. He is a kind person and the thought of preying on and physically hurting someone for no reason at all leaves him furious and confused.
He welcomes any and all people. He doesn’t care about social circles and cool clothing. He just wants everyone to be happy.

You should tell him to find the bullies address and start signing him up for plus sized womens clothing catalogs and a bunch of other shit..sex toys, free samples of adult diapers.

I have made subtle suggestions here and there. But he just doesn’t want to get involved, unless it involves overwhelming victory and their total annihilation. He knows what they are capable of, and wants no part of it. They have no qualms physically assaulting other kids. And because of the severity of the beat downs they distribute, no kids dare to tattle on them because, “SNITCHES GET STITCHES.” And the bullies take snitches out. A couple kids tried snitching and they paid a hefty price. The main bully was a total thug and delinquent. On top of verbally heckling kids and beating the shit out of them, he is also the local vandal. He spray paints enormous dicks on the bike path and draws them in public rest rooms. He thinks it’s the greatest height of humor.

Yeah, I grew up in St. Louis in a pretty bad area. There really weren't too many bullies in school, well for long. The nail that stuck up got hammered down. I saw a lot of kids who thought they were the alpha dog learn their lesson real fast.

Maybe that will happen to some of these bullies upon their arrival in high school. I remember some of the cool kids from my middle school were quickly put in their place thinking they were bad ass. So sorry.

His school started a program where they encourage all kids to tell on wrong doing of any kind. So far it’s been a massive failure because by middle school everyone knows that it’s super uncool to rat on others and the repercussions from bullies just aren’t worth being known as a snitch and getting a beat down.

Fortunately he has his music to vent and release anger in a positive way!
Sound familiar?

Hey Mooncobra - do you have that thread handy? I want to add it to our Epic thread as it was just that
Clean tones were OK. My Recto has nice cleans. I think it was more a property of that Strat though.
