Been AWOL for a bit due to the fires. Was not personally affected but just didn’t have much drive to use social media while it was going on.

Excited to share that “On Promises” just passed 20,000 streams on Spotify. Not bad for a new band’s 2nd single!

This is so cool
An old project but while I'm documenting my new stuff here I'd like to show one of my favourite projects: the 3D printed lightup guitar 🎸 #3dprinting #guitar #leds #metal #electronics

So I’m going to return the Fender Shields Blender fuzz. Just not connecting with it. Going to pick up something else to replace it
December 11, 2024 at 3:26 PM
I really wanted to like the Fender Shields Blender fuzz pedal a lot more than I actually did. Not saying it’s a bad pedal, just doesn’t do what I want a fuzz pedal to do.
