Oh the Irony!!

[TrevorOfDoom]

orrr...

eh... not quite...

i went to my mailbox today and this is what i found:

i've been expecting a package, but not one this big. and you'll see why, here:

yep... that's small. what's inside, you ask?
why... it's this:

a Valcoder!
bought on a whim (thanks Nicky!)
i haven't even used it yet, but i'm excited for the possibilities.
yes, a review is coming.
and yes, and updated pedalboard pic, too.
all in good time, friends. all in good time.

I like my Valcoder....It's a great glitchy little trem.

honestly, i'm hoping that i like it. i'm just starting to venture into the world of modulation and other silliness. before my board was pretty much just a place to put my compressor. oh, i'd use the boost and delay occasionally, but that was it. i want to make new strange sounds, (but without changing my tone too much ) and i think i'm on my way.

HAHAHA! That gave me a good laugh! Someone should send out Devi Ever Peeps in huge boxes too.

reminds me of christmas. buy overly huge boxes for small presents, or multiple boxes for one present. i honestly stared at the box for about 30 seconds just thinking "really? is he serious?"

If you don't like it, I'll show up in Austin on Elkhorn

Can we get a gut shot on that? Please?
That is a tiny pedal!!! I must see how they pulled that off.

I got together with some friends to get a "box of evil" together. We got a bunch of things that he likes and put them in a metal box with a combination lock on it, put chains around it and welded them together, and put this into another metal box that we filled the air space with concrete. Then we built a wooden box around this, drilled out the screw heads, and filled the gaps in with bondo so that it was a completely smooth cube. We gave it to our friend along with a hammer, and let him have at it. It took him about a week.

questions... should there be a volume boost when the pedal is on? and there's a trimpot inside... what does that adjust?

Cuuute. i went through the trouble of blacking out my last name (with electrical tape, cuz i'm old school) but completely let my address through. oi.
and, and Nicky's too.
hope he doesn't mind.

*please, send all hate mail, spam, love notes, and bomb threats to Nicky, please. my dear mother is stressed out enough as it is, what with putting up with my little brother. he's crazy*

Yeah, I've been doing this for years. It's a lot of fun. Usually a basic gift (book, CD, etc.) turns out looking like something out of The Island of Misfits Toys by the time I'm done.

man, I thought me and brother were mean to each other. every xmas for the last 10 years, we've spent more on duct tape to wrap each other's presents than we have on the actual presents.
Our rules are:
no tools are allowed, only your fingers
if you don't have the gift open in less than 2 hours, you dont get the gift
