Greatest Prog Band of ALL TIME

September 29, 2024

Twisted Sister took Prog to a whole new level
The video for their smash hit "I Wanna Prog"

Eat yer heart out, Peter Gabriel

In case you're having trouble falling asleep:

I know there are some people who would say Twisted Sister is not the greatest Prog band of all time, even that they are not Prog at all. To that, all I have to say is:

You're all worthless and weak !

Actually I really dig Peter Gabriel, both his early weird stuff and his later pop. This is brilliant. Leave a comment on what you think it is really about. ( Hint: not trains. )

Superfreaky Brain Fart

August 24, 2020

Not sure what possessed me at the time, but I built this with A250 tone pots and B500 volume pots, and the B pots are doing their usual on/off switch behavior - no change until almost zero, then cut off completely. After my most recent testing, I have concluded that B pots have no place in a guitar at all. I probably did this because I have just two A500 pots in the parts bin, one mini and one full sized. A few days ago I ordered a lot of them, when they come in, I will swap these out. In the meantime, the B's will do, especially at full volume, so I can check this thing out.
