Turkey Day SHOOTOUT Competition

[pinkjimiphoton]

@LucifersTrip: You know jimi is going to need a healthy dose of "wood be gone" after seeing/hearing your entry.

shit, i'm gonna need a doctor, the priapism has set in.

lu....dude. NICE.

you guys...ALL you guys are amazing...this judging thing is harder than i'd ever imagined, i like all the entries so far!!!

a couple tho, stand above the rest... but just barely.

not tipping my hand yet.

amazing!!

[pakrat]

I would like to know how everyone would feel if I was able to squeeze out another entry. I bought 3 entries because at the time we didn't have enough to move forward with this competition. I didn't intend or even think I'd be able to enter more than one project, but it looks like I could make it if I finish assembly tonight. Basically, if anyone feels it would be unfair for me to post another entry, please let me know.

[garcho]

F*** fair, just do it! This place is about building stuff, right? If I 'loose' my 10 bucks, which is barely the price of 2 beers at the bar, because you built 3 awesome pedals, then more power to you. Just means I have to sharpen my game triple.  

By the way, super righteous builds y'all, what an impressive crew.

[oldschoolanalog]

I say go for it. Why wouldn't it be fair? Nobody complained when you put up your $$$. And it seems well within the rules.
Greg? jimi? Dino?

in my opinion as a judge, which of course i must remain with my brothers if their opinion differs, if you paid an entry fee, you enter a project. you pay three entry fees, i see absolutely nothing in the guidelines to suggest that couldn't triple your winning odds. if you can pull off three entries, i have zero problem with that, and tho it is indeed impressive, i don't think it impacts the contest negatively. you pays yo money, you takes yo chances.

i mean, your pedals could suck. or be brilliant.

or anywhere in between. i'm absolutely NOT paying attention to WHO makes the pedals. only the pedals matter to me. play terrible, freekin' wail, i don't care. and i think greg and dino will agree.

so to me, an entry is an entry, with no prejudice towards any of the entrants, and a refusal to accept prejudice brought by others.

judge each entry...not entrant...on their own merits. it's a lot harder than it seems, with so many amazing entries by some super talented dudes...things i WANT to add to MY arsenal so far, every one. (i'm sick like that).

so...as long as dino and greg agree with me, that the entry matters, not the entrant, i believe you are good to go.

get 'em in guys, and make sure aron has your info please!!

thanks to everyone for making this such a cool freekin' scene.

[pakrat]

Thanks for chiming in guys. I guess it's on then, and I'm glad because I worked my A$$ off on this one 

[digi2t]

I'm good with the multiple entry. After all, the fees are paid, and the pedal will be judged, as like all the rest. We never imposed a one entry per person rule, at least not to my knowledge.

Bring it on, times a wastin'

>i mean, your pedals could suck.
This I seriously doubt. 

[pakrat]

Thanks Dave, I will certainly try not to suck!

[Jdansti]

You pay, you can play.

Thanks Dave, I will certainly try not to suck!

I'll have enough suckage for everyone.

Maybe I should rephrase that- my project and guitar playing will suck plenty. 

[Ronan]

Multiple entries is fine. Govt Lacky stated that a while back.

John, are you gonna make it?? I think Mustachio has something nearly ready too. Also defaced, samhay, and I wouldn't be surprised if DA throws in a last-minute hand-grenade.

I could finish my Plan A project by the deadline, but don't have the capability to do a video clip in time.

Just out of interest, in how many hours is the deadline from now? I am in a different time zone so not sure. Its 6pm on 22nd Nov right now where I live.

[oldschoolanalog]

Maybe I should rephrase that- my project and guitar playing will suck plenty. 

Once again, I have serious doubts about that statement. 
Do your video at the dinner table if you have to John. Tell your family it's Thanksgiving entertainment.
If there is any backlash tell them some psycho from NY (me) made you do it. 

@Ian:This should help:

[pakrat]

I have to agree with Dave.... how can the inventor of the toilet seat amp suck in any way?

[haveyouseenhim]

@ John   If you care about comedy you will film the demo on the toilet. And I'm not talking about odius max

[garcho]

Yeah John, I'm with Dave on this. Besides, if you're nervous, just check out this guy doing a demo for YATS:

You gonna let him win?! 

[deadastronaut]

@ronan:  no last minute grenades from me i'm afraid...so all your limbs will be fine....

though that was my intention..

i'm still tweaking ...almost there, but way too late for the comp..

[Perrow]

You comfortable revealing details d'Astro?

[deadastronaut]

yeah no problemo...but i'll not hijack the comp thread..

it'll be up n running soon-ish.....all will be revealed!!!!..but don't expect too much from my usual dumbass experiments.. ........beep.................................beep................................

[Ronan]

Well, I was looking forward to your guitar playing...all will be revealed in due course then, that will do fine  

Another edit: maybe after the comp we could have a show of "the ones that didn't quite make it on time"
