jamming today was good...did a good amount of work on the songs... for the 1st time the jamming didn't feel long... so now we haf 4 songs liao...1 more can release EP....hahahaha.... anyway... i think we just need to get tight as a band and i think we're pretty decent with pretty decent songs...haha
my musicianship on the guitar needs to improve just so that i can pull off the stuff i want to pull off better...and i feel the need for a ts-9 liao... dirty rat is way too heavy... if there's a good 2nd hand deal...hopefully i can get it this month....
so far...the current "ideal" pedal board for me would go like this.
Rat --> Ts9-->Dynacomp -->Phase90--> FM4+expression-->Main Delay --> Dd3 --> Volume
no intention on getting a wah at the moment...but a list of other stuff that i would like add if money isn't an issue
Digitech Whammy
HOG
That input sensitive tremolo pedal...
there's musical practise tml and a Winning Eleven wu ling da hui to go to....wheee!!!!!!!!!!

musical practise was long...but i think we've got quite a bit of work done... so things look to be going pretty well for now... re-worked some arrangements and stuff... more long days of practise to come..
fra-foa the band that i was into back in my O lvl days....i'm back into them again... especially their 1st album stuff...hopefully i can find it in Singapore... jap band that didn't really make it very big in japan...
i'm gassing for a mxr dynacomp after my ts9...i feel that i am going to play more cleans and a comp is good for cleans...maybe its just an excuse to buy it...but i want my telecaster too!!!!! so little money..so many things to buy...
