it's always struck me as odd that Kevin alters the handle...i have never played a Jazzmaster, but i found it fairly easy to do the warbly-bend-up-to-the-chord thing with a Strat tremolo set up to float.

The only drawback for electrical tape is the gross residue left after it's been on for a while through hot days.
Good point. Depends on the brand/quality but it tends to leave a mess. Only handling 9-18V, painters tape would work (no warranty expressed or implied :animal:)?

I was thinking I needed some pedals, but then I remembered my 70CDR can do the things I wanted the new pedals for.

I ended up not buying those particular new pedals.

Until some cool boutique company realizes this and they start making relic'd editions for 2x the price.

But no 9v adapter on the old ones.

Which reminds me, why are they so expensive?

It's a superfuzz variant. I think Jwar has one, maybe he will answer.

I don't think any pedal is worth $400, that's amp-level money.

FB trading group, a guy nearby has a '72 OR80 for $1100 - just serviced, needed "new foil" (?)
I don't need another amp in any way but I keep thinking about it

LOL, Sweetwater. "Yellow Tag Clearance" call for price flagged for the DOD Rubberneck that ProAudioStar was doing for $132 last week. Sweetwater's deal that's so worth calling for? $215--yes, 6% off! Woot!

And now they're gonna call me trying to drum up business.
