Pedalholics Anonymous?

Thank you Eric

Well, it all started way back when I was a toddler left in the care of Wicked Uncle Ernie for just one afternoon. From that moment on I knew life was going to be different for me. For Ernie did play the drums awful loud and his son, my Cousin Kevin, played BASS with a dirty old P Bass and huge Ampeg stack......So it came to bass that I was corrupted and introduced to the endless escape of music and in particular the joy of a badass rhythm section exploring cause and FX.

Hi, i'm 15000volts, and will be a pedalholic in a near future.
You see, in my head i'm already a pedalholic, but i don't have the money to feed my addiction. It's even worse!!! i constantly GASing for new pedals, but i don't have the money for them. (that's what happens when you spend your whole savings in a DSLR camera and a new bass).
my birthday is coming up, tough...:hiding:
I have 3 pedals, but that's no way near enough, i need at least 4 more: big muff pi w/ tone wicker, visual sound liquid chorus, mxr m82 and an A/B box. well, the A/B box doesn't really count so add a homemade proco rat:D i'm making the A/B as well
 
Haven't bought a pedal all summer, but I know I'm not cured, no worries there.

Almost everyday I get up I'm thinking about buying one. These days its mostly the 105 Q Bass Wah and an old Boss TW-1 seen in a pawn shop near my office, but there's also the Boss RC-2 loop pedal, Q-Tron, Q-Balls...

Not much action, but the sickness is still there... I feel it....

:eek:

Dude, it's not even winter yet. In fact, it's not even officially fall yet. That's a lot of wait time for Christmas. If you're already counting the days to St. Nich placing a pedal under the tree, then you need -->:help:

Just sayin' :ninja:

Very true! there are better ways to go about doing this... some of which can't be condoned or openly talked about... I mean what you do with your own _____ is your own business but and if you are not careful you could catch ____________ .
