it exists... might as well link to it. 19 minutes of various stuff... ring mod, machine, wah, vibe, wiggler, bogner blue and black finger. feel free to pass, throw virtual tomatoes or what have you.
these are ridiculously fun... for me. not sure how enjoyable they are for anyone else though. lol.

At the 5 minute mark, and it's pretty frigging enjoyable for me!
cool! there are a few sections you might particularly like, I think.
I enjoy listening. I appreciate you putting these up for us. I waited to listen until I could use my headphones. I have these old Creative PC speakers in the shop. They do a fair job for most things while I'm running around working.
That's a pretty hefty growl at about 6 - 6.5 minutes in. The ring mod is interesting. Damn, the drummer stopped.
Cool jam!!
thanks for listening, glad you liked it!
I've listened to it a few times and I'm pretty blown away. It's like a good jam, but with only one person. There's some really nice Hendrixy chordal stuff towards the end that just seals it for me. And some really great tones. thumbs up!
thanks!
it was the stuff at the end that I was thinking might be something you'd like.
there's about a minute or two in the middle somewhere that kinda drags a little but otherwise it keeps moving... as a jam I like it. but it's just so long. I think I should get in the habit of sitting out for a couple bars during these things. would give me some natural points where I could break it up into smaller pieces, or not, but I'd have the option. still, 19 minutes is better than the old "jams" on cassette tape. those were invariably 45 minutes! heh.
I listened to it again last night, after I read your description better. I do like at around 16 or 17 minutes it kind of slows down to some chordal stuff, and then kicks in for a finish. Good stuff. Love the playing.
Question: in your description above, you mention Bogner Blue. Is that the pedal? I have been looking at those. I was looking more at the Ubershall (sp) pedal. Was curious what you thought of them.
I decided the Uber was probably a little heavy and went for the Fulltone GT-500. I have an OCD and love it. It'll be here tomorrow, so we'll see. I thought the ability to use either pedal alone or in either order was a cool feature. Just having a clean boost will be cool. But I wanted something for some heavier tones. I buy from the Fulltone Blem page. I've never noticed a blem, but I like buying direct from Fulltone.
I had watched the demos on those Bogner pedals and am intrigued. I couldn't pick out where you were using what except the machine in some cases and the ring mod.
I also knew you had a bogner amp, so I wasn't sure.
I think I had the blue on the whole time... but not positive (pretty sure). I'm a little conflicted about that pedal to be honest. overall, it sounds cool but the way it compresses is a little strange - it doesn't really come out in the recordings so I live with it but it's a kind of pinching that feels strange to play into - the way it thickens up the lower mids and cleans up (behaves like an amp) is pretty nice so that's the trade. krankzilla had the uber pedal, he'd be able to tell you more there and I think DTR and charger have (or had) the red one. I'm glad I got the blue instead of those other versions - I still have an uberschall for high gain (though I don't use it that much)... no need for a pedal version.
one big thing about the blue, though... it's got a lot of bass. it would probably be ideal for an amp that doesn't put out too much on it's own or is mid/high focused - I'm guessing fender amps are like this because all the "the blue is awesome!" reviews I've seen were from guys using small fender amps... heh.
on the "wanted something for some heavier tones" front - I'm still thinking I need to try out a big muff with tone wicker. on the fulltone side, I'd like to try out a plimsoul... have heard some really cool sounding clips of that - zonta had one I think but he's been away for a while.
(and thanks for the kind words on the jam!)
Sheep, I'm just going to listen to this now. And, FYI, I have a Plimsoul that is for sale... It's really a great pedal, I just have too many and it is (compliment!) covered by amps OD tones.
I need a charger machine clone to use with my fuzzes. Wonder if Amy will mind if I start smoking weed again. ;D ;D
13 minutes in. Pretty cool. Past the doob.

Sounds like you're already hittin' it. "Past the doob." Really? :-?
thanks for checking it out - the machine is probably more acid related than pot... but I haven't seen either for decades. heh.
this one's got some ok parts... but that other one that was 9 minutes (the trains thing) is probably my favorite of these things.
