MY MONTHLY RANT

G-zed-F-king-k-rice!!! My Ride blew up and the mechanic said it would cost $4000 to fix!!! Even worse it has a full tank of gas so I got to tow it home to use on the next wrecking yard rebuild car I buy!!! The only good news is my neighbor said he will trade me his Tele for that tank of gas. 

 

TIME OUT 

As my alter ego mentioned my $6000 car needs $40O0 of work. In short it is a write off. 

I have a line on an ancient Honda from a trustworthy friend but they need to keep the car until late August. If their plans fall thru I will have to give it some serious thought. Bottom line though is no car for the whole Summer, I live in the city so I can use the bus for basics, but ....

SHAEVLE IRON REVOLT 

Old man Suhr brought out the Suhr Riot pedal in 2009 and it became a major go to for those that wanted a hot MIAB. Years later his son convinced him it was out of date and needed more gain to be cool. So out came the Suhr Riot Reloaded. Too little too late as the Transparent OD boom hit so the Reloaded was dumped and the original returned. That boom is all but over and most guys want massive gain. 

If they want it from Suhr they will buy used or if they are smart like us they 

will buy this clone of the Reloaded. 

$20 on Amazon...I repeat $20!!! ...I can even get massive sounds 

from it set at unity gain & the amp at bedroom levels. 😇

JOYO SWEET BABY

An exceptionally good  clone of the Mad Professor Sweet Honey. It has its own vibe but sits in the same territory as a Blues Breaker. In short it falls into the 'transparent' thing. but has a bit of balz. The big buzz about Mad Professors new edition of their hand wired eye popping $390.00 USD version has the real world even more excited about the $40.00 USD Joyo.
