Evil Acidhead News

Test pressings are on the horizon for the upcoming CD/LP release of the complete Evil Acidhead recordings tentatively titled, "In The Name Of All That Is Unholy". I went back to the original cassette masters and transferred them at 24/96. And the masters were in pretty good shape. You gotta love cassettes.
No brickwall limiting, eq or noise reduction was used on these tapes. Its a warts and all affair. Drop out, tape folds and hiss were left as is. Remember that we're talking about 4 track cassette technology, noisy Casio SK-1 samples, and deliberate walls of noise and static, so trying to make a "modern" remaster would have been pointless. It is what it is. Just like the original low bias tape. Only louder.

Creepyfingers Fuzz Heaven

The recording for the upcoming album by The Heads has begun.
And here is the fuzzbox that I will be using:

I shit you not when I tell you that this Creepyfingers creation is the finest fuzzbox I have ever heard.
Brad Davis is a pedal makin' wizard!
The design is based on a Schaller fuzz. But Brad has added his Creepyfingers magic to the mix and transformed this thing into a multi-dimensional acid rock weapon of mass destruction.
And look at that meticulous construction!
Oh yeah, he also informed me that the last one that he made was for none other than Dungen's Reine Fiske, the only guitarist out there that hits all of the right notes for me.

That sealed the deal for me.
Search for the perfect fuzz is over.
Give Brad all of your money.
