Might Be a Dumb Question Buuuuut....

Post by theactionindex »

ok, so my drummer just informed me that he was drunk when he left our practice space last night, and accidentally left my pedals plugged in, and on...so my question is could any possible damage have occurred to the pedals in that time by being left on? if so, someone who is retarded and plays drums is going to owe me a lot of money. might be kind of a dumb question, but i figured i'd ask. :idk:

...lol drummers.

i think they'll be fine. if anything went bad, it probably would be the power supply.

Why did he have your pedals turned on? That might be the bigger question here.

I saw this picture of Hendrix, all he used was a wah.... And not even the Jim Dunlop Jimi Hedrix wah, just some old thing.....
Jimi didn't realise the horrible tone suck we had to listen to every time he used that wah.

He also plays guitar. It's one of those situations where i wouldn't mind if he asked before using my shit, a point i've made clear multiple times, but he seems to conveniently "forget".

Dude, you might want to return home with your gear after practice. Just saying.

roll up early into practice and start playing the drums one day.

don't play drums? well, isn't that what practice is for?

they're totally fine. don't worry about it! usually the thing that breaks first is the stompswitch, not the circuit.
