I think it's the basic limits of current batteries not loving cold or hot. The mitigation is knowing this common fact and not buying one.
A number of states had that issue. Funny story. Piano tuner was telling me of guy who had an EV and wasn't charging at his home. Came out and found a lady charging her car. He asked what she thought she was doing. She said she was just charging her car up. He pointed out that it was his house not a charging station. She was shocked that he wasn't thrilled with her charging and getting the free invisible magic that makes her car go. She then confessed that she was visiting next door and with the cold when she went to leave she didn't have enough of the invisible magic to even get her to the next charging place.
It was one of the early one's and maybe one of the first years of the Block lettering possibly with the old guts from what I've read. I think it's an 1981 or '82 IIRC from the pot. Which was about when I bought it. Sounds great, fantastic. Much better than a few I tried including the new version of MXR IMO. Got a pic of your pahser?

Glad they are still at it.
Remember the "Harold and Maude" Jaguar Hearse? I want a bigger version based on a muscle car, or maybe a 66 Caddie with a big V8 and longhorns. The latter would be the ultimate Texas gigmobile.
Permanently ingrained in my mind. One of my favorite movies.
And there was a time that they advertised the EB with those pickup, including one I purchased. When I pulled the cover, it was another low number side winder
Buying Gibson products is like buying a box of chocolates…..
With this, can I catch up when I miss a bunch of notes?
Yes, but you should set it to "stun".

Thursday it is, spent some of the afternoon with Mr. Orville.
That's the same one I got for a birthday present a few years ago. Thing's great, lives on my piece o' plywood with a few other bits. I use it for "Dancing in the Moonlight" with The Earthmen.
You people are just s-o-r-r-y then!

Good colors.Thursday it is, spent some of the afternoon with Mr. Orville.
Heck yeah. I just turn it on and play what I want and the phaser blender puts all the notes in the right place. Makes me sound way better.
I generally use it for really slow songs. Kind of adds something to a note as opposed to is just being there. Adds texture I guess you could say.
I still use the first phaser I bought some 15 years ago, a MXR '74 script reissue. I didn't use it for a long time as it had a pretty significant volume drop and cut some bass, but a couple years back I modded it for better low frequency response and higher output (as well as working off a power supply), and it's stayed on my board ever since. Sounds fantastic, usually keep it set around 1-2 o' clock. The only other phaser I've looked at is the Maxon PH-350 Rotary Phaser, but they are silly expensive and hard to find these days. Luckily PastFX released an updated take on it, may have to snag one of those.
Yep Miles. And that’s my point.
So Gibson thinks Rex Brown irares an sig bass. He does based on the skills. But his audience is limited. And in reality, he rarely plays Thunderbirds.
I wouldn’t fit in since I’m a RL Polo guy for work. I only wear plaid on weekends.
