Noise rock makes use of the traditional instrumentation and iconography of rock, but incorporates atonality and especially dissonance, and also frequently discards usual songwriting conventions. Underground rock musicians such as the Stooges, the Velvet Underground, and the MC5 incorporated elements of free jazz and minimalism into their performances and recordings. Post 2000 noise rock often features tribal poly-rythmic drum patterns. Recent bands have carried on older traditions while branching out and furthering their theatrics. Bands such as Comparative Anatomy, Pim Zond, Lightning Bolt, The Locust are known for wearing outlandish costumes.

Pedal Bored Board Part 2 Pim Zond


Pedal Bored Board Part 2 Pim Zond

Further to the earlier post of my construction of another pedal board... here are a few pics, bearing in my I used only a few basic tools, drill, screwdrivers, hack-saw, etc. This is underneath using plastic zip-ties to hold down the pedals, etc. Note the steel "L" brackets to hold the back of the board up, and the half-round for strength for the reverse side where most of the foot pressure is applied at any one time. pim-zond-pedalboard-2013-underboard1   Here are two views of the top side of the board. I got the black painted board from a scrap pile and cut it to length more or less. pim-zond-pedalboard-2013--view-2   So, currently we have onboard from right to left, an Ibanez Demon Wah, a D.O.D. Death Metal Distortion, a vintage Boss Octaver, Chorus and Touch-Wah, a Daphon volume pedal and a Danaelectro flanger, plus a Boss Delay. Power is from a Boss pedal power supply that's maxxed out connection-wise. pim-zond-pedalboard-complete-2013- This is the where the board outputs to before the AIWA tape recorder. Into the Alto mixer and a Sony Vaio which is an old re-purposed laptop, that I record to at the same time, along with the audio cassette deck in the Karaoke machine, (visible in the top photo). so I have at least three versions recorded. pim-zond-pedalboard-mixer-2013 The Digitech Modelling Processor, I use mainly for it's cheap loop capabilties, which I put into FX send and control from the Daphon volume pedal on the left side of the "new" board. Of course a power bar is attached to the top of the board and whatever AC adapters are also zip-tied down onto.

pim-zond-pedalboard-2013-karaoke

This is the karaoke machine I use as an ersatz amp ... (LOL), since I go from mixer to an AIWA reel to reel analogue tape recorder. I seldom need to hear it out loud in my flat, except to test things out.
