What do you guys think of the pedalboard I am working on?

[Josh]

Looks boss.

[Jed]

You need at least one of these to balance out all that metal: http://proguitarshop.com/media/cms/blog/DOD_Grunge.jpg

Grunge is making a comeback you know.

[Diff-chan]

Hmm.

I feel like I need anything with a butt knob.

So the 8 track I have isn't working. Nothing new there, but my 4 track just stopped working too. Tape will play, then it'll catch and stop. push play again, catches and stops. Tried a couple different cassette tapes to no avail. I don't even know where to start. As it sits right now I have nothing to record on, and I'm fucking bummed.

[Jed]

I didn't even realize you could still get cassette tapes anymore. You don't have GarageBand or some shit? If you get desperate I have an old Roland VS-840 you can have. It's digital and uses 100mb zip discs (lol good luck finding any of those), but it works and sounds decent. The Shins used the same model to record their first record, so good recordings can be done with it.

[Josh]

Haha, I have a vs-880 boxed up in the basement. Was just thinking about it this morning. I hate it.

And yeah, I don't really use garage band. I kind of really hate it, and I lost my usb interface.

I bought 100 cassette tapes when Musician's Friend was clearing out stock, btw. Planning ahead.

OH SNAP

The Guitar Store has my Miku Stomp waiting...

[Josh]

But can they fix my Fostex? That's the real question here.

[PaCrappa]

What is the model of that thing btw.

Also funny that Jed mentions a VS840. I had one of those. They don't tell you how much of NOTHING you can fit on a zip disk. That thing was practically useless at the time of its release. I doubt the 880 was much better. Can you comment?
