Stoner/DOOM Bassists Part 83: WHAT YEAR IS IT?

Ok stoned doomers, doomed stoners and other various musical miscreants...I need some serious feedback and brainstorming.

I need to name the custom Dunwich KT88 powered 300 watt tube head that Nick is making me. It's meant to be a big mostly clean super loud pedal platform. Not trying to go super tube distortion with it at least, because I tend to favor dirt from pedals. We went with a master volume, in case I do want to dirty up the front end a bit. Has a slave input in case I want to use it as a power amp with my already lovely Dunwich bass preamp. It's also going to go to 2 ohm, so I can run it with both Duallies if desired.

It's also meant to be flexible enough in the EQ to double as a guitar amp if I want, but mostly for bass use.

Here's the proposed front panel layout Nick gave me last year:

I was thinking of shooting for either something Lovecraftian, given Nick's naming trends (which I'm already a fan of) or something kinda cosmic/sci-fi sounding, since I'm a huge nerd. Maybe a fusion of the two, I get down on the whole cosmic horror thing. Maybe something none of the above that just veers into volume/dirt worship, I dunno. I suck at naming things and I need some suggestions, so I'm putting it to committee to see if anyone has a cool idea.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand go!
