JHB Pedal Party at Music Connection

AlanRatcliffe · 2012-11-12T16:05:57+00:00

All the latest new guitar pedals from MXR, Way Huge, Dunlop, Vox, BBE and Zvex on demo by 2 of South Africa's top guitarists: Raymond Green and "Floors" Oosthuizen! Loads of killer giveaways and a Zvex Pedal is up for grabs too. Please RSVP to gareth@musicconnection.co.za as space is limited. To enter the draw for the Zvex pedal, you need to RSVP. Entrance is Free - Saturday 17th of November 12:00pm. What is a Pedal Party? We'll be doing some guitar pedal shootouts with overdrive, distortion & wah pedals, comparing some of the best new pedals on the market to the old favourites that most players are familiar with so you get a real idea of what they sound like in comparison. You'll also get to hear some of the cool and crazy new pedals you might not have seen before. We'll speak about effects chain, the different pedal bypass systems, choosing the right pedals to compliment your guitar & amp and powering your pedals. Whether you're in the market for new pedals or not we do guarantee that you'll enjoy it and that you'll learn something in the process.

DDR4LYF wrote I was there! I enjoyed it very much! I totally agree with the Joe Satriani comments! Haha! The sonic stomp seems like a good investment for my bass rig. And the fuzz factory is just awesome!!! Next time I'll come say hi. Do you do these often?

Ps my name is Sean, but not Sean Parrot, so my heart both leaped for joy and crashed into disappointment when you announced his name as the pedal winner... Sean.. Hell yeah... Parrot... BOLLOKS!

Glad you enjoyed it! It seems it was educational for you as well. This is the 5th one I've done this year, but only the 2nd in JHB. A fairly rare event in a given town actually. ? Sorry to have disappointed you. Very close to a winning name.

IceCreamMan wrote Nope , i aint no gentleman..... so def not me...i was lurking in the back with a pink floyd T shirt on .....

wanted to come chat but a couple of guys had usurped you and i needed to move on ....and i would never threaten violence ?

By saying gentleman, I was just trying to be kind... ? Ah, so must have been at least a little miffed when I said "whatsisname from Pink Floyd whose name escapes me"? I aim to offend equally. ? Would have been cool to meet you, but as you said, I was usurped. Great word BTW. ?

Lethe wrote I was there! Saw IceCream man, but I didn't know who Mr T was. I was sitting in the front row next to the angry guy ? IceCream man was hiding in the back somewhere.

Mr T was the red-shirted dude doing all the talking with constant stream of bad jokes and the barrage of information. That's me!

teleplayer wrote This is so depressing!!! I'm Shaun Parrott, I couldn't make it on Saturday as a last minute occasion came out of nowhere (as much as I wanted to be there).
:'(

I could have walked away with a pedal!! Just my luck!!

Sorry man! ☹ History repeating itself right there. Same thing happened to a guy in Cape Town a few months ago. You missed out on a free ZVEX Distortron.

Ah, that's such a pity!! One can never have too many drives, but that's how it goes I guess!

@Mr. T. It was a good demo! I really enjoyed it and learnt! I'll come say hello should I see you, now that I know how bad your jokes are ?

Cool, thanks for the positive comments. ? Make sure you do. I'll keep a particularly bad joke primed just for you. ?
