Actually, they guy is very bright. He was an engineer at NASA and has worked on some high profile projects. The glitter bomb started with him being a victim of porch pirates. I think the yootoob thing grew from that.

As far as squirrels go, I am amused by these:


Totally - I been following him since I saw the squirrel mazes.
 
Andy Field (agedhorse) has been including HPFs in his Mesa amps for awhile now. Including a LPF is a bonus. And four simulators of legendary amps is great. I have an inexpensive Zoom B1Four that does simulations pretty well for the price, although some sound a bit rough. I really want to get closer to an actual ACC tone for some songs. This pedal may be just the ticket for that without the weight and size.

Running this pedal through the effects loop of the Subway channel on the two channel Mesa TT800 should sound a lot better than the Zoom. I could switch between the Boogie channel that is based on the Mesa 400 tube monster (Fender tone stack) and the ACC tone through the other channel with a tap on the amp’s foot switch for tube tone and classic solid state tone. Modern tech is great.

My birthday is next month; I may have just talked myself into getting one. You and @Bent77 are shameless enablers.
You're welcome. I'm not interested in adding a pedal, but this one is interesting.

Give me your wife's cell. I'll tell her this is something you've wanted since you were about 11 years old, and you're really hoping this would be the year--after all those years of quiet bitter disappointment one after another you're hoping to have a birthday and not sob in silence once the lights are off and cry yourself to sleep one more time.

I find that a HP/LP filter is almost inaudible when it is working properly. It just makes the bass sound a whole lot better and more like itself....
This is how I would describe my BBE Sonic [Maximizer] Stomp. It's not an effect, but it makes any amp sound bigger but tighter, with clarity. It's not a HP/LP filter. JIO described it as more of a comb filter. It's subtle and doesn't color the sound, just makes it better. I have it in my effects loop and never turn it off. People either love them or find them useless.
 
Rather they got a poop bomb.

I very much like the combination - it's creative and brilliantly targeted. Apparently very fine glitter like that is nearly impossible to remove from wherever it lands, even on one's skin. And it's pretty toxic. Sorry - I have no sympathy for these criminals and hope the glitter causes physical problems for them. Look at the interiors they are in - these aren't "poor" people - they are ässholes and deserve the worse. I consider the glitter-bomb getting off easy.

Forget all that. I've said for years I'll chip in via taxes for more prisons. Do the crime--do the time.

As much as I agree with your premise, unfortunately there is much to be done before it gets to that point. In my SF Mission neighborhood - cops could care less.
