Thunderbird Club

Apparently, my tendency to a) get distracted and 2) look up info about random things is alive and well.....:rollno:
Upside is, I learned today that Naugahyde originally came from/was produced at Naugatuck, Connecticut :bookworm:
Safe to assume that's where Naugas are native to? :unsure:

My house.................There's a Seattle GTG somewhere in the future as well.
I did play through it. How soon we all forget. I was so smitten by the Lull that I never gave the amp a second thought. Jeez. Now I need a Lull and a GK amp.

Just got home and plugged it in. My first impression is that I bought a good quality piece of gear!
I don't really need a lot of distortion, but for the Dad Jam Band, I want to be able to pop forward in the mix when I take a solo. This will allow me to dial that in with much more control.
And for the occasional spot where I want more overdrive, this will replace the Big Muff on my board. The Big Muff is too fuzzy.
I just looked it up. Can the H/LPF function be engaged separately from the drive? If so, that could replace the Broughton on my board and provide some additional functions that would be fun to have. The board isn't going to get bigger, and it won't get replaced. A pedal that size has to do a bunch of stuff independently.
 
I decided to finally fix the “way too easy to turn” knob on the Mooer Octaver. A couple of felt washers and a chicken head fixed it.

I should get that B9 pedal - it would be perfect for "History Repeating".

Just did! :)
