One cool thing about going indie with tonefiend is that fact that I can finally host my own geek forum! It’s already up and running — but it’s a sad, vacant space that desperately needs to be populated by cool people and cool ideas.
How to get there? Sleazy bribes! Cool prizes!
Here’s the deal: I’ve pre-populated the forum with a few topics and threads. Just come on over, register, and chime in on any thread that interests you — or better yet, start one of your own. And on September 1st, 2012, the three forum members who have consistently contributed the liveliest content as judged by some dork me will get a bitchin’ stompbox laboriously hand-built by the same dork me. I can’t disclose exactly what the pedals will do, but I can promise they will be cool, useful, and genuinely unique — original designs, not some lame-ass Screamer clones. And if I manage not to vaporize my hand with the TechShop laser-cutter I’ve been learning to use, they’ll even have wicked laser-etched enclosures.
Naturally, I hope the tonefiend forum will also be cool and unique, and that you’ll enjoy geeking out there even when there’s no contest. But hey, I’m not above greasing the skids with free stompboxes as needed.
Please read the forum rules, though.
FORUM RULES: Be cool.
Hey Joe,
FYI, the link you put on the old site at Symore Duncan has a comma after “www” so you might want to fix that so the link works.
I’m glad you are continuing the blog. Great stuff.
Thanks!
Thanks Frank! I fixed it!
As you can tell I need all the trouble-shooting help I can get! Hey folks — don’t be shy about
alteringalerting me to stuff I screwed up! 🙂You rule,
Joe
Alerting ?
And the tragic part is, I’ve actually been paid to copyedit and proofread. 🙁
