A photo of an Ibanez JIVA10 guitar sitting against a wall next to an Orange amplifier, with a pedal board in front of them with 10 Boss compact pedals on it, plus a MIDI controller pedal and little footswitch pedal for switching the amp between the clean and dirty channels.

And we're all set up!

A photo of Ibanez's Nita Strauss signature "JIVA" electric guitar sitting on a guitar stand. The edges of the body are black and fade into the native maple in the middle, and down the fretboard where the fret markers are there's lines that look like an ECG readout.

AHHHHHHH IT'S HERE! And it's so prettyyyyyyyy!

My little footswitch arrived! It's so little and adorable. And because it can be used for different things depending on the amp it's plugged into, they give you this set of little stickers to stick onto the front of it so you know what the actual function is that it's triggering.

A photo of a two-row pedal board with seven pedals of various sorts on it.

NOW we're cooking with gas.

A photo of the box of a Boss FZ-1W fuzz guitar pedal, and a D'Addario "XPAND2" pedal board, which is a two-row pedal board made of aluminium that can become wider as you get more pedals.

Woooooo! I'm waiting on just one more thing (at least until Christmas 😅), an Orange FS-1 mini footswitch so I can switch between the clean and dirty channels on the amp without having to lean over and down to actually fiddle with the amp itself.

A photo of a little rectangular black box that says on the side of it "JHS Pedals" and underneath "Little Black Buffer". There's a single yellow LED on the top of it (the input and output plugs are on the very back and not visible in the photo).

Why yes, it IS more guitar pedal-related stuff! Though technically not an actual pedal this time. Keen to see the difference it makes in sound. (Update: it makes ABSOLUTELY no difference whatsoever because it turns out all Boss pedals already have built-in buffers to counteract the signal degradation from long chains. 😑)

Today's deliveries are a flanger pedal for my guitar setup (can I call it a "rig" yet?), and a replacement airbrush needle! I was all excited to get my Kill Team terrain started last week, and I realised that my troubles with the airbrush clogging and spitting and just generally misbehaving were caused by the very tip of the needle being bent. 😞 I'm not sure exactly how I managed to do that, but I'm going to make a point to be a lot more gentle with it from now on.

A photo of a Boss DM-2W analogue delay guitar pedal. It's a shiny sort-of-magenta colour, with three dials on the top for repeat rate, intensity, and echo.

Yesssss, very excited to play around with this tonight!

A photo of my Morningstar relay switching interface. It's a small blue metallic box with two TRS jacks and a DC in jack on the front, and three LEDs on the top marked "RING", "TIP", and "POWER".

Huzzah, the relay interface finally arrived! Next step, figuring out how best to configure the MIDI controller to activate the interface in terms of ease of usage...

A photo of the box of a Google Nest Hub. It's a white device with a maybe 7"-ish display at an angle attached to a wide base.

So Kristina won a Google Nest Hub from her work today. While there is no fucking way I'm plugging it in and letting Google spy on us, there's a security researcher who hacked one of these to boot Ubuntu: https://fredericb.info/2022/06/breaking-secure-boot-on-google-nest-hub-2nd-gen-to-run-ubuntu.html He popped all the code up on GitHub (https://github.com/frederic/chipicopwn) so I reckon I'll give that a go!
