Here's a demo:
😎
I’d love to own an actual 12-string, but right now, I emulate that sound using an EHX Epitome (which has a POG in it). But something like this would let me free up the Epitome for other stunts.
Speaking of EHX…

If you can’t find a standard Gretsch pickguard for your guitar, there’s definitely companies that can make custom ones for you:

I’m a big fan of Adrian Belew’s work, and have heard (and purchased) a HUGE chunk of the music he’s played. But somehow, I managed to never hear a single note of his work with The Bears.
Fortunately, in a recent interview, he mentioned that as being one of his favorite projects. The journalist understood Belew’s lament that The Bears were under-appreciated, and attached a video of a whole concert.

I’m not a pro by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve never performed with a guitar in font of any audience beyond my instructors, my dogs or some people way on the other side of a square with other things occupying their attention.
And I have A LOT of gear, covering a wide variety of potential sounds. And in terms of pedals, I have both discrete pedals and multi effects units.
I have all that stuff because guitar is an artistic outlet for me, and I can afford it. So I can explore surf guitar, metal, classic rock, jazz, and whatever strikes my fancy.

Nice score!
I don’t have one (yet) but I know those are pretty nice. Enjoy it!

While I'm not sure how many Guitarists will embrace this, it seems to me to be a logical extension of what's happening with Guitar effects, and the resurgence of Modular Synths. I'd be very interested in patching the Chorus or Delay pedals to my Semi-Modular Synth, and turning some knobs.
I can’t point to any names in particular, but the guitarists who show up in videos from Coffee & Riffs or the The Vigeland Mausoleum shows (and their acolytes) would be among MY primary suspects for diving into this stuff without regard for their personal safety.
Then there’s guys like Helios Creed whose lifeblood is manipulating their sound in unexpected ways through labyrinthine signal chains.

I don't know anything about Boulevard pedals other than what I've read on reverb. Mostly they replace something I already have, so probably a pass.
(edit)Back to Boulevard pedals. I'm in a quandary about cheap pedals. I like things that cheap, at the same time I don't like under cutting. I look for sales, returns or blemished from companies I know.
I’m mostly OK with cheap gear as long as;
1) it’s not counterfeit or stolen
2) it does what it says it does
3) it’s well-made enough to be suitable for the intended purpose.
And make no mistake: decent, gig-worthy gear is probably cheaper now (relatively speaking) than ever before.

They've just intrigued me. I'm not really sure what the difference between a boost and a treble boost pedal are. I'm not buying any more pedals for now. Unless I decide to get something weird for under $60.
I’ve seen those on Reverb, plus a couple others they make. You know anything about them?

not so much the guitar as the bridge...I like it. Lots.
I’ve had Rick Toone’s site bookmarked for YEARS! Always full of incredible, drool-worthy content, but a lot of it is pricey and niche.
THIS, OTOH, might be big.

I love my Keeley Katana Blues- one of the earlier BD pedals RK made for his own company, but I can’t help but think something like the Muse and the RSGPM could work side by side on the same board, almost like a subtler version of that common BD-TS pairing.

Never heard of this band or song until half an hour ago. Been listening to this on loop ever since. They sound to me like early Beatles gone shoegaze, and I love it. All vocals in Japanese.
You nailed the assessment!
There’s all kinds of nods to the Beatles, right down to their image. The stage set was also very retro-TV.
And their sound is definitely shoegaze-adjacent. Conceptually like what the Fab Four might have sounded like as shoegaze pioneers- not quite the fully realized sound but definitely in the neighborhood. More restrained on their use of effects.

Cool! Let me know how it turns out.
One of my untraditional mods is to add a bit of diced onion to the turkey/celery/mushroom combo. Not much - maybe 1/4 c…

We’re creoles.
Surprise! We do much the same!

The biggest difference is the use of paprika. Most goulashes I’ve had are reddish brown to damn near red with the stuff! Red wine is a common- but not universally used- deglazing liquid when making it. Many recipes use caraway seeds, too.
Other than that, the core ingredients of cubed beef chunks, lots of potatoes, onions, garlic, mild peppers, tomatoes and major optional ingredients like carrots are in common.
In fact, when I do my goulash-oid stews, I use tomato juice/Bloody Mary mix as one of my major liquid ingredients- AT LEAST as much of that as broth/stock.-

We do something like that and/or turkey salad as our major go-tos for Thanksgiving leftovers if/when sandwiches just won’t cut it. It’s a great comfort food recipe.
And as it turns out, I did a small post-Thanksgiving turkey and just put about 4.3c of meat away in the freezer last night for later use. Might just do a tetrazzini in January. Thanks for the reminder!

Usually, I make something akin to a Hungarian Goulash, but I was craving something more traditionally American. And so:

Not in general- I'd bet that you'd get a lot of good, enjoyable use out of an EQ pedal. You might not need anything exceedingly 'fancy' and expensive, but some new tires for your Kia could improve your ride... !
Sorry for my imprecision: I meant THAT EQ pedal would be an F1 racer compared to my actual needs!

I went looking for more Hitsujibungaku stuff. One part grunge, one part pop, one part shoegaze- overall, very 1990s.👍🏽
