Guitar Effect Pedals
Current lineup of guitar effect pedals, of which I made six. Effegy
delay I got used and desoldiered a trim pot inside and moved it to the
top - MXR chorus - Octavia with switch to toggle octave - Carcosa Fuzz
(my favorite fuzz) - my brother’s BOSS Hyper metal - Shin Ei Fuzz - BOSS
noise suppressor - Pitch Fork - OpAmp Big Muff (I don’t really get this
pedal, cool on bass though) - Modified Tube Screamer 808 (my favorite
overdrive) - BOSS HM-2 (My favorite distortion) - Klon Centaur
Overdrive.

The Judge.
The Judge. Toward the end of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian The Kid
dreams of The Judge and this is my extension of that otherworldly
counterpart to his mortal presence. I didn’t like the character when I
first read it because it just seemed like a hollow definition through
contrasting bullet points that didn’t actually add up to a character,
just attempted to appeared to. He is large - but dainty, he is
exceptionally intelligent - but very brutal, he is nude a lot - but
hairless, and he might be a Dæmon. It just felt like someone making a
D&D character to be the ultimate genius badass then not role playing
it well because the character was just a series of interesting sounding
stats and not a character. But on my second and third reading of the
book I felt less strongly about this, I don’t think my opinion on it
changed, but it stood out less than my first read. It is my favorite
Cormac McCarthy novel, so I was thinking about it a fair amount.
