Reuss Effects Muzzbox
Warren Ellis signature angry Octavia.

Just opened the box of mine this morning. This thing fucking rips.

Maybe there’s nothing too special versus a standard Octavia, but it’s a damn fine octave up fuzz. It’s wild sounding and compact. My harmony bobkat just zips out Grinderman sounds, though that wasn’t really my goal for getting the thing. I don’t usually get that spendy, but I was in a mood.

Forgot about the Roland Howard pedal, it's a beautiful thing.

He is the rhythm guitarist for Billy Idol, but has played w/ The Cult and a number of other bands. I get the dislike of LPs, I go back and forth on them. Building an alu-neck LP style right now, which is re-igniting my interest.

That reminds me...

the the noisy chaos this pedal brings is especially appreciated in low-volume settings where that can't be obtained by volume alone. Reuss' pedals are really good. It's always tempting to get more.

Yes the Howard pedal looks really good. Basically a blue box, distortion +, and a micro amp (in there somewhere for better volume?). Gotta put my blue box back on my board. Instead of the distortion + I use a rat but it’s the same idea.

I have his take on a Si/Ge tonebender mkiii and it's a great sounding pedal. His stuff is really reasonably priced and seems to fly a bit under the radar.

Hate, hate, hate Jack Antonoff's work, but this looks sick.

Torn because I’ve always wanted a Gretsch Princess, but I can’t abide putting an offset tremolo on every guitar there is.
I would still rather an old Gretsch over any new one, no matter how big of a piece of shit the old ones could be. I really don’t have the whole vibe that could pull off pink guitars anyways.

Edit: that looks less like a Gretsch Princess and more like one of the PRS guitars they tried to sell to the Smashing Pumpkins crowd

Him and Maroon 5 Guy are on my “cool signature gear whose work I would never willingly listen to” shortlist.
