The most universally hated guitar effect of all time for guitar?
Welcome to the show! Mick here. I have been binge-listening to Wayne Krantz these past weeks. And every now again, up pops this crazy robot sound in his music… which I know is a ring modulator, but that neither Dan nor I have really explored. And then there’s Joey Landreth who, as usual, did things that defy explanation and understanding is this show here:
• The Brothers Land...
Like two Labrador puppies following some ripping Rottweilers, we have acquired three Modulators Of The Ring Kind and we’re going to attempt to: a) understand them, and; B) see if there’s anything remotely musical to be achieved here today. To whit, we’ve asked our old mucker and long-suffering TPS Drummist, Dougie Mussard, to join us for the afternoon and whack out some beats. Let’s see what happens…
Erm, Exterminate!
Enjoy the show…
