The Shoegaze Thread

Disappearer

Yeah it adds to the atmosphere/swirliness of Shoegaze, sometimes even disorientating if done right. Did Shields invent it? I don't remember hearing of anyone before him using it.

yeah, i have just got a bass player so i can call it a band now.

Me->ORM1->Muff->Devi Ever TBD->Ibanez CF7->delay->memoryman->loop station->Fender 70's Vibrolux reverb (LOVE IT'S TREM!!! and 'verb).

so it's 2 guitars and a bass player.

where did this vibrolux come from?

It's the bass players, btw Gil you should look into one of them they are like a twin but smaller.

the one i am using sounds better than any twin i have ever used.

gilmourish

i would rather a deluxe reverb to be honest. I'm pretty much set on one.

But if they only thing that you where not happy with was the fact that it's to big/loud.

gilmourish

too big and loud, deluxe reverb is perfect >.

Hai guise.

I'm Henry/Gilmourish's mate 😎

I currently run:

Fender 66 RI Block jag > Digitech Xp400 > EHX Big Muff Pi W/ TW > Boss MIJ HM-2 > EHX russian Bass Balls > Fender Blues Deluxe

I've got a double muff in pieces, a FAB Echo *dies inside*, a crybaby (at Gilmourish' house...) and a broken Boss PW10(i think thats what it is?)

I'm saving up for a Dr Scientist Sunny Day Delay and then after that a Dr S Cosmichorus. After that, probably gonna try n find a meatball (or just get a clone) or maybe a Foxrox TZF1 (or a clone...)

Picking up another HM2 on the cheap. 😁

Jammy bastard. Currently saving for an Op Amp Muff and a power supply... And some velcro. 😆

Getting it for

Disappearer

It's a race against time to get an EHX one on the cheap before everyone finds out they're the legendary Siamese Dream Muff and they go epically up in price. Richie's got one coming in the post from Ebay. If all else fails I'll either get a clone or put my SP obsession to one side and get a Russian reissue like Henry's. I'm not getting a USA reissue though, they sound ridiculosly thin and flat imo.

zemonsta

You'll soon realise I keep bigging up StompUnderFoot muffs 😉

Even the unpleasable TGP like SUF muffs. At $130 it's a good price too. Mah man Nick got the Civil War clone, and says it sounds godly.

Disappearer

Yeah I suppose after a genuine Op Amp Muff a SUF clone is my best bet. It is a good price too... And you can't argue with hyperbole like "Godly".

zemonsta

Nick knows what he's talking about... He has owned all sorts of great pedals, from Deluxe Big Muff to two Tube Drivers to Maestro Boomerang to Emma ReezaFratZitz to ZCat Hold delay chorus...

Listening to Robin Guthrie's latest EP Songs To Help My Children Sleep. Gives me serious modulation gas. I really need a nice chorus with plenty of options...

Great thread

Lots of info on the genre here www.shoegaze.co.uk

Great for gigs from new & the original bands www.soniccathedral.co.uk & www.clubac30.com

Shoegazer radio ..... www.myspace.com/airatlantic & www.live365.com/stations/groovyjim

zemonsta

Since finding Club AC30, I have had infinite love for them, and equal hatred. They must be the #### coolest label out there, with the best bands and the gigs they put on have the best lineups ever, but on the other hand they're all 18+ so I can't go and see #### like SPC ECO and Air Formation on the same bill. ☹

I really think this is the next step for me now i'm 'inbetween bands'.

Always loved MBV and the recent discovery of A Place To Bury Strangers (thanx Gil) has restored my faith in guitar music. 😎

Would you do drum machine post punk beats or use a real person ( 🙄 ) to play perhaps less intense stuff?

I wanna know what kind of direction you're heading! 😁
