A World War II bunker in Berlin is home to a couple of art collectors. They are inspired by the minimalist principles of the architects Mies van der Rohe and the Japanese Tadao Ando.

OmarRodríguez-López Pedals through different eras.

Let’s take 5 minutes of silence to aprecciate this….

Ok. I was going to do a post that discussed pedalboards with delays at the beggining of the chain and another that talked about wah pedals at the end of the chain. But I couldn’t resist making an exclusive post for Omar’s pedals. He has some delays at first. At never puts his wah at the begging at the pedal police officers orders. And also reverb at the beggining it some cases. 

I will attempt to explain his pedal order.

2011/2012:tuner>microamp>chorus>octave>analog delay>phaser>digital delay>wah>fuzz>tape delay>looper

So. The first photos are his Mars Volta 2001?-2010? pedalboard. Then his Mars Volta/ORL Group scaled down pedalboard of 2011/2012. After the At The Drive In reunion pedalboard. The last two are his Bosnian Rainbows pedals. 

Damn pedals are cool.

*I do not own any of the photos. I Stole them from different blogs, flickrs, magazines, tumblrs, pinterests, etc. and kept them in my computer a long time ago, but since I forgot to write where they came from I can’t put them. Sorry I guess.

Oxford, in those days, was still a city of aquatint.

Hypocrite Jefferson, by request

A lot of Jefferson’s problems are general failures of the time in which he was living, shared by many of the Founders, and combined with the clash between his political savvy and Messiah-complex, there’s no denying there was a disconnect between his words and his actions.

Your arguments are all invalid and have poor grammar. This man was the Father of the University of Virginia. 

Ah, well then
