I just love this particular graduated color scheme on the IE FMeron >

The Pigtronix Mothership2 slightly amuses me with its peeled back look, and I particularly like all the stacked knobs with the lines on them >

The kitty with his back to you on this Q Cat was what initially kept catching my eye ... so realistic o_O I wanted his affection so bad! At that point i reached out to @FilterFunk to see if it was one of the hundreds of envelope filters he's tried before, and he did indeed recall it sounding pretty sweet, and it does! I really like it >^..^< Bonus that the CKK logo looks like a fish skeleton >

Normally I shoot black and white film, but the darkroom I use has been closed for the virus scare, but you've given me a mission: I'm going to try and shoot some pedals in black and white film and print them when I can.

Here's my "loser" railroad photo. Now back to pedal pics...those Saturnworks pedals are really cool-looking. I have one to show off, be back later with a photo.

I don’t think there’s anything loser about noting magic in what to others is simply prosaic and mundane. I think it’s indicative of a special element on the viewer’s eye, or from the musical sense in the listener’s ear. Are railroad crossings as objectively beautiful as smiling child, a grove of peach trees in bloom, the canals of Venice in the final moments of as gentle rain? No. But is there a hidden magic? Sure. In fact there is probably something like that in each corner of the human experience. Ok, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea.

Well, I am more drawn to a railroad crossing or industrial scenes than any of those things you listed. (and I don't even like peaches.) There is a reason for this, which I think I know what it is but it's too long to discuss here. I will also say that I love black and white film as a medium, both because of how it looks but also the process. The reason for that is related to why I prefer industrial scenes to smiling child photos.

The peaches thing; that's a bigger mystery.
