........No one, sir. Please, I didn't mean to interrupt your slumber...

Don't worry, he doesn't have any tubes in yet, he's mostly harmless. For now.

Unless he falls on your foot.

Unless he falls on your foot.

That's why I said mostly. He's still lethal if dropped from not a very great height. No sonic mayhem yet though.

So when California breaks away, we'll know it was you.

Sounds pretty good to me. Really digging it, actually. Nice and fuzzy on low notes, had good bite on higher notes, sounds great overall. I wish I needed/could justify more fuzz, but right now, being out of a band I have no reason. I actually have a love/hate relationship with fuzz. It sounds awesome when others use it, but my fuzz never quite sounds that way. I think I'm more of an OD guy, but I'm determined to find an actual fuzz pedal that works for my band! Right now I use my GK Rails pedals for a bit of fuzz, but it's not really fuzz. And my Pharaoh just never quite worked in the mix. Of course, I still love it, because it's so versatile and it sounds great solo, and there's also a huge chance that the "mix" of my previous band was crap, so that could fix a lot of sonic issues.

kinda feelin the clearance price on the old ones of $89 too, i've already got a rat tail for distortion and a dark driving for od

Whoa, whoa, whoa! $89? I'd be all over that! Heck, send me a link and I might snatch one up real soon!

The width reminds me of my old F800. Only Mr. Grumpy's taller. Prolly at least 60lbs heavier, too.

There was a 4.0 Quake at 2am ish this morning up in the east bay. May have been Mr Grumpy getting restless in the crate at the transfer station?

I'm not going to be able to record any proper demos until next week, when I'm on vacation. I have the amp stored at work right now though, with my cabs, so I'm going to go in a little early and try to load up the tubes and fire it up for a few minutes. Bringing my P bass and pedalboard to test it out. I may only have time to get all the tubes in and have to jam for a few minutes after work, we'll see. I'm just really anxious to actually play this beast!
