Vince McLaughlin: GAS Gifts
Christmas was good to Vince McLaughlin, and his GAS just keeps on giving. He started early by grabbing a two TC Electronic stomps in November—the PolyTune 2 and the Hall of Fame Reverb. ā€œI had the Pedaltrain Mini on my Christmas list as well as the TC Electronic Corona Chorus, and they both arrived under my tree from my awesome in-laws,ā€ Vince says. But, he also really wanted the TC Electronic Mini Flashback Delay. ā€œHaving intentions to get the full size, I went on Boxing Day to my local music store only to find the mini version,ā€ he explains. ā€œThe mini version is a blessing because I wouldn’t have room for the full-sized guy.ā€ The Dunlop Cry Baby Wah was a gift from his brother earlier in the year. Rounding out the setup is an ISP Decimator 2 and his Mesa/Boogie footswitch for his amp. Powering everything is the Visual Sound 1Spot.

Checking out the stomps of our fellow players never gets old—there’s so much self-expression in the way individuals assemble their boards. From classic effects deployed in imaginative ways to impressive loop schemes and a vast menagerie of hip boutique boxes, thanks for the ongoing inspiration, readers!

The Miku was introduced about 10 years ago and is based on the vocal stylings of Hatsune Miku, a virtual pop icon. But it does much more than artificial vowels and high-pitched words.

It’s tempting to think of this pedal as a joke. Don’t.

It all started a few years ago through a trade with a friend. I just wanted to help him out—he really wanted to get a fuzz pedal but didn’t have enough cash, so he offered up the Korg Miku. I had no idea then, but it turned out to be the best trade I’ve ever made.
