<p>The BAD94 is my signature distortion pedal based on the 90s classic Marshall Shredmaster with important tweaks. The bigger version was released June 2021 and due to public demand for smaller footprint and lower price, I'm releasing the BAD94 as a MINI pedal. Still BEEFY-Still DIRTY- Now MINI.</p>

<p>The BAD94 is captures the sound and feel of my early career guitar solo tones. </p>
<p>The BAD94 builds on the structure of my early 90s shredded meister pedal of choice, but updated with modern appointments such as top-mounted jacks, true bypass switching and pedalboard-friendly form factor. </p>
<p>While the BAD94 shares the same controls (Vol, Gain, Bass, Contour, Treble) as the pedal it’s based on, improvement tweaks like an extended treble end and a more musical gain range from big warm pushed Bluesiness to thick roaring Rock and Alternative Crunch to Singing Liquid Sustain makes it applicable to different musical situations and as versatile as the BAD94 signature namesake. These controls will allow you to adapt the BAD94 to any guitar and any amp and retain the core tone. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Specs </p>
<ul> <li>Wide gain range from pushed breakup to thick crunch to liquid leads </li> <li>Volume, Gain, Bass, Treble and Contour controls </li> <li>True Bypass Switching </li> <li>CENTER-NEGATIVE 9vDC (internal 9v battery terminal available) </li> <li>PROUDLY Built in Philippines</li>
</ul>

<p>I am raising funds and awareness for TAAL Volcano Relief Efforts in Batangas Philippines. Thousands of families are displaced from their homes when Taal Volcano erupted January 12, 2020 spewing ash and volcanic rock that covered hundreds of kilometers in the perimeter. While the volcano has entered a calm spell, the effects of the eruption still lingers leaving many in need of food, water, shelter and clothing.</p>
<p>Batangas is my father's home province and I have been to all the places currently evacuated and it's difficult for me to sit idly by and watch things unfold without doing anything. So with this in mind, I have put up for auction my personal Chapman Guitars ML1 Standard Guitar on Ebay. This is the very guitar I have used in a lot of my video lessons on my YouTube Channel. If you have ever wanted to own a guitar that I have owned and played, this is your chance while helping out with relief efforts for the Philippines. If the winning bidder so desires, I can also autograph and date the guitar for posterity. It will come with a fresh setof my Curt Mangan Signature strings and a pack of signature picks from Anatomy of Sound.</p>

<p>Aside from the auction, I am also donating all profits from my t-shirt and merch sales from my Shirtly.PH store in the Philippines and TeeSpring stores for US and Europe. This will be in effect until the end of February.</p>

We'll be sneaking in some few surprise songs that will be a treat to the audience!</p>

Here are my 5 gift recommendations that you can easily get on Amazon that won't break the bank.</p>

<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Picks </strong>- Chicken Picks are currently my picks of choice. Great tone and introduces playing ease that is immediately felt when compared to regular picks. The link below is a sampler pack for guitarists to try out all the models and eventually pick the one they like best.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Guitar Strap</strong> - every guitarist needs a nice strap. The DiMarzio Cheetah strap looks great on stage and pairs with more guitar colors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=perfectodecas-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B01N4KO6PO&asins=B01N4KO6PO&linkId=57bfbbbec56e82bf03343885cd340b51&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=false&price_color=333333&title_color=0066c0&bg_color=ffffff" style="width:120px;height:240px;">&amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;gt;&nbsp; &nbsp;</iframe></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mini Guitar Amp </strong>- the BlackStar Fly 3 Mini Bluetooth amp is a great gift for the guitarist on the go.

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Strings </strong>- my strings of choice are Curt Mangan Strings: they feel good, sound great and last for a long time! I've been using them for over a decade now and they're the only strings I recommend for both electric and acoustic guitars.</p>

<p>Last weekend, I got together with some good friends and colleagues to rehearse for our <a contents="upcoming show in the SF Bay Area" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://perfdecastro.net/event/2487796/481188853/pinoy-rock-revue-in-san-francisco-bay-area">upcoming show in the SF Bay Area</a> . The show is called PINOY ROCK REVUE and on vocals we have Basti Artadi (Wolfgang) and Raffy Mendoza (RockStallion), David Aguirre (Razorback) and myself on guitars, <a contents="Paco Arespacochaga" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://pacoarespacochaga.com" target="_blank">Paco Arespacochaga</a> (Introvoys) on drums and Marc Yap (RockStallion) on bass.</p>
<p>We met up at my house and and after setting things up in my garage it hit me that this is exactly how we all started out when we were kids; no fancy rehearsal studio.... just friends rocking out in a garage until the neighbors complain!</p>
<p>Back to basics... good times!</p>

<p>I've been long overdue for a website update and I have finally found a platform that will allow me to interact better and offer you all a whole bunch of stuff in just one easy to navigate area!</p>
<p>It's a work in progress but eventually I will be offering purchasable lessons, merch, music, videos and everything else y'all have been asking from me!</p>
<p>Leave a comment down below for any requests, suggestions or reactions and please sign up for my MAILING LIST to keep up to date and also receive exclusive content and offers!</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
