As a cheesehead who didn't watch the game, do I want to know what happened with a final score like that?

While I was not watching the game, I was putting this together and having a stellar GH practice...

The DOD is perfect for the little grit and boost I was missing from my effects rig.

The Blue Box is everything I was hoping it would be, massively fuzzy and glitchy into weird oscillations. The sub octave sounds super clear with those Peavey Lo Rider 18s pumping down to 20hz. There's a bit of a volume drop if its alone, but I doubt I'll ever run just the Blue Box, or my Lucifuzz for that matter, by itself. The DOD will be on all the time unless I want a really clean tone.

I also have yet to ever run my Dunwich preamp at 18v, the Voodoo Labs will allow me to do that as soon as I buy a splitter cable. But even still just running it at 9v like everything else I thought it sounded a lot better than just the one spot and a daisy chain. Can't wait for that added 18v headroom, my other pedals are going to love it.

It will also mean the Voodoo is full so no more pedals on this buying spree ive been on...

My biggest grip with the Blue Box was the volume cut.
 
Don't like crabs and don't know from curds? Sheez, where you from bro?

Starting dating a Bawlmer girl when I was in college, Learned me all about crab pickin. Agile fingers are always appreciated ;)
No I love king crabs and crab legs, crab cakes, etc. Just I don't know, blue crabs just don't thrill me. It is fun watching people who know how to dissect them expertly though. My girlfriend and some of her friends are impressive. Every once in a while I just sneak a pile off the meat she builds up, let her do the dirty work LOL. There is a local restaurant that has all you can eat blue crabs and shrimp. Best shrimp I ever had.

Oh yeah, I've been to Dave's many times. His private collection is ridiculous. The city itself is great, there's a surprising amount of good music going through there, some spillover from the Twin Cites, but good touring bands come through sometimes. Melvins used to play there quite often, probably not as much these days.

But there's the bluffs, the river, lots of green space for hiking and spending time outdoors. Helps that it's a college town, so it's not just full of old boring people.
Holds up hand sadly.
 
Oh dude! What about a horror movie about the Holy Spirit? Feeding on souls. The trailer would show a child saying prayers before bed. And everyone they pray for, becomes prey. Bless grandma, and cut scene showing grandma putting her face into a food processor. And she's all trying to stop it, like, no, no, no, bwarararararararararrerrrrrrrrrrrrrr, aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

What do y'all think? Too dogmatic?
