winner of the NAME MY GUITAR contest

Well...after going through the 666 suggestions from youtube...yes, it actually ended with 666 comments...not sure what to think about that one... But anyhoo...I've gone with the name SISSY for the Kingbee Tele with the TV Jones Filtertrons.

Many reasons...Sissy Strut by the Meters...Do the Sissy by Albert Collins...that chick from Urban Cowboy...and of course, my wife's nickname given to her by her father. Whatever reason, SISSY it shall be!

Want a guitar like that? They're around $1500 ish...and you can contact http://www.kingbeeguitars.com to get one. DO IT!

ROCK ON!

Bumper Music for GMD Youtube Clips

So...I get alot of emails wanting to know the music I've been using lately on my Youtube videos. It's a band called BODECO, and no, I'm not a member. I know that master Southside Freddie uses a white coily cable and all...but that ain't me. Freddie rocks ass for sure, and you should check out Bodeco on iTunes or CDBaby for their music. I'm a huge fan of their psychobillyassrockindirtrompin music for sure.

KLON vs KLON

Did some comparison videos recently of a Gold Klon Centaur versus a Silver Klon...they pretty much sounded the same...the silver one seemed a tad brighter, but that was probably just from subtle differences in the knobbies and what not...wish I'd done a better job with the audio...but, as usual, I posted the clips regardless!

new batch of Time Bomb Boost pedals

As some of you may know, I'd stopped building the TBB about a year ago, but have a new batch of boards coming, and am going to build 50 more...actually, only 49 will be available, because I'm keeping one! That's why I decided to build the TBB again actually, because once I sold out of them, I didn't have one myself!!! It's such a master-of-all preamp boosters! Anyhoo...they should be available starting in the end of February, and are now the same price as the Luther Drive, which is $107 shipped in the USA, and $130 International. The colors are gonna start out being black, or pink, or random swirly paintjobs. You can always email me at gearmanndude@hotmail.com with any questions. ROCK ON!!!

New Gearmanndude Pedal coming soon

Hello Friends and Neighbors!

Well...after months of experimentation, I have come up with my latest creation to add to the Gearmanndude product line...it's called THE LOTHAR.

It is a combination of an Overdrive pedal and a Fuzzbox. Great for leads, if you crank all three knobs, but if you dial down the gain, and leave the tone and volume cranked, it has a killer, yet annoying overdrive quality to it to boost and push your amplifier.

Should be ready for purchase in a couple of weeks...I'm very excited about it. Been trying, and trying to come up with something to put my name on lately, and it's just now reared it's ugly head.

Stay tuned!

ROCK ON!

KLON vs Klone Fancy Lad video clip

Greetings gear-hounds! I shot a clip last week of my Klon versus a DIY clone of the Klon, and it was remarkably close, as far as similarities...in fact, I'd say they're pretty much the same, IMHO. The pedal was named the FANCY LAD, by the builder, (top-cool name!!) and is a one off, custom build, from what I can gather.

As much as I wish it were me that built it, it was not I. There is a site out there, where you can get layouts and schematics for all the killer boutique boxes of love, and build them yourself, and that's where I believe the Fancy Lad pedal came from. So...if you're handy with a soldering iron and tiny components, you can build one too! I'm thinking of building one, just for fun, and to put on another board...but will have to put that plan on the back burner, as I'm swamped in LUTHER-LAND right now...

ROCK ON!

LUTHER on the Grand Ole Opry

Well, the Luther Drive made it's debut on The Grand Ole Opry a few weeks back. Greg Foresman, guitarist for Martina McBride, has added one to his board. He also just ordered two more...one as a gift, and one as a backup. Very groovy! I named the Luther after Johnny Cash's guitarist Luther Perkins....so it's nice that another Luther got to grace the Opry stage this Century.

ROCK ON!
