I'm so glad he didn't use an eponym, or we'd all be on ilovesnoddy.com

I went down the rabbit hole with the FZ-1A a while back and it was a glorious ride, with suspense intrigue, some treachery and of course fuzz.

It's sad to see the legends go. I hope a bunch of dudes are talking about me when I die at 96.. probably not though.

I wouldn't be able to use a pedal called the Snoddy Face without twitching in anticipation of having to wipe my toddler's nose.

Sad day for fuzzers, though, for sure. Hell of a legacy.

Thinking about that boy Snoddy's legacy is mindblowing for the pedal alone, but a credit on Ring of Fire is just plain showing off

I have been spreading the word on this to everyone I know that isn't fuzz versed. Many have found it quite fascinating

Anyone else tempted to find a copy of Marty Robbins "Don't Worry"?

He lived here in Murfeesboro AFAIK. I have an article from a couple of years or so back in a local paper I’ll photograph soon. Seriously sad but what a guy!
