Tired of goddamn rain... Got off early and got to take leela to the dog park, but it's probably gonna get nasty all night.
Also I have gas for that ovation, the cathedral and now a Nintendo new 3DS XL, because I'm a dork at times. Can only get one this weekend off craigslist.

Someone needs to buy this and sell the head to get the cab for free.

That someone is Max, obviously.

Oh there's one right in my parents town too

Is it keeping it cool around there at least? We've had record rainfall and the typical tornado near-misses but it's also barely broken 80 here and that's unheard of in late May Joklahoma.
Still thinking the Magnum would be the toughest of those three items to find again, but I'd feel personally guilty and sh!tty if you got it and didn't love it, or it cost too much to fix up or had a structural problems...
I really need to sell the few pedals I have on the block, my SB-2 and my Eden. Gotta pay some of my ball and chain credit card off and I needz the dope cabz, but for real I also want a gk 400 rb, GB shuttle 6.2 and/or a sunn beta. Also more ink. Feels good to not be a parent but fugg my financial future for sure.
This landed yesterday. $35 shipped and it is cherry. I am going to try my hand at modding a pedal for the first time, actually just swapping one resistor, that counts right 
. I forgot how good these little buggers sound. Even the ol' lady said I like the way that sounds and that was a just a quick check to see if it works with all knobs at noon. I drive myself nuts trying to dial in my Hellcat (Rat) and I set the ODB3 to noon and instant smile on my face, think I am just a pedal cheap date.

I LOVE the ODB-3. I tried doing the Allums kit to mine and ever since it's had some weird oscillating feedback problem. I think one or more of my replacement op-amps is toasted. Can't really narrow it down to anything else.
...anyway I've been considering just ordering another one to keep stock.

I was listening to Cavity - On the Lam in the car last night and there's definitely some ODB3 grindage going on - nothing else sounds like it.
...and apparently Cavity's former singer Rene Barge is also the drummer for folky group Iron and Wine.
That's weird.
That's weird.
I had one a while back that had all the Wampler frequency mods but no mods to the stock clipping. I am just swapping one resistor that removes the shrill highs this time. I am pretty happy with it stock though. Is it a devil to get the circuit board out enough to swap components on it?
It's not too terrible, you need to undo the screws on the bottom, the nuts on the input & output jacks, then it should pull out most of the way. There's a ribbon cable that connects to the secondary board that has the pots on it, so full removal of the board is a pain, but you shouldn't have to take it completely out to do any mods. Not my photo, but I found this online:
EDIT: I should also mention that the solder on these pedals has a very high melting point - too much for most cheaper soldering irons. If you're having trouble getting the factory solder to melt just drop a blob of your own solder onto the pad that you're trying to melt. Let it harden, then apply heat again, the two solders will combine, lowering the melting point. Now you can easily remove the solder with your desoldering braid/solder sucker.

Thanks. Dang I had a nice 40 watt that was really too high for guitar work so I gave it to the girlfriend's father, I should of kept it around. I will do the add solder trick.
Just ordered a pound of Kava Kava from KAva by Rex so I can make my own tea at night. I was youtubing/googling Kava Kava yesterday and figured I would give it a shot or I guess a shell.

...and it turns out my drum recording project IS for the project with my old guitar player. Kind of wanting to tell them they're on their own, but I guess I should be the bigger person.
What would you guys do?
The guitar player and I are still not on speaking terms, I was kicked out of the band (was going to quit soon anyway) but I guess it's ok to ask me for gear/help recording? I'm still friends with the drummer.
