Effect Pedals - #14 - MXR 6-Band EQ


Number 14, MXR 6-Band EQ


My 1st EQ pedal, i realised i didn't really need one after gettin' it....hahahaha!

I feel EQ pedals are handy to have around but not absolutely necessary, Amp EQ is enough for me..you probably don't need it either, unless you play really diverse stuff with vastly different tones....

But it does look very impressive with the different bands having their own Red LED light...

Effect Pedals - #13 - Boss Super Overdrive 1


Number 13, is the Boss SuperOverdrive SD-1


Think i purchased this pedal on a whim, probably gotti cause Zakk Wylde used 'em...


i was quite obsessed with gettin' Wylde's screamin' pinch harmonics, i thought this would help...it did.....but so would alot of other pedals out there....

Effect Pedals - #12 - Jim Dunlop Crybaby 535Q Wah


My 12th pedal is my second Wah pedal, the Jim Dunlop Crybaby 535Q Wah

This is in my opinion the most versatile great-sounding easily available wah pedal you can find in the market, the only reason why i sold it is that its using a traditional switch operation.


I am currently using Morley Wahs NOT because they sound better, but because they're just so easy to use...i love the switchless design, in terms of sound & versatility the 535Q still beats my Morleys...

Alive

it sucks to be sick....when you are sick, all the things that seemed to matter so much before pales into the background...suddenly you dont care 'bout 'em anymore...& it seems life is so much more than the tangibles you valued previously....

i feel much better now...i breath better...

started muggin' again for the exams comin' in the next 2 weeks.....really wanna get this semester over & done with (of 'cause hopefully with decent results..)

Keep Breathing...

Breathing, its effortless..
Everyone's doing it although they may not really feel it
I feel it now, i do..

Why?

Because i cannot breath properly now...
Sometimes every few breaths that i take is puncuated with prolonged coughing
(Screams from my lungs)

I cannot take deep breathes without coughing
My breaths are quick & shallow, like everyone of them could be my last.
