You sound like perhaps you would be better served fucking yourself than writing on this forum. Perhaps you could fuck yourself with one of your Boss pedals? Lube it up and shove it straight up your asshole. I bet it'd fit.


Another suggestion. Perhaps eat shit and die?
Lol. That was funny bro. You finally showed a little creativity there.

And Ps, no I'm not a TB member. That place is the king of all Soy Boy locations.
That's one thing we'll agree on. I hate TB so much.
Cool. Well at least we can get together on that one. TB SUCKS! It's where thread topics go to die. I'd much prefer us telling eachother to suck a dick than the passive aggressive assholes on TB who all try to suck up to the moderators. Fuck that place.

I have gotten rid of all my boss stuff over the years as I've interacted with more and more boutique builders because I enjoy that aspect of pedal collecting. Being able to talk with someone like Brian or Louise and Aen or Scott is a much more rewarding experience than buying from a more faceless company. I don't GAS for Boss, and I probably won't ever buy another Boss pedal new, but I sure wouldn't mind or feel limited by having a board full of 'em in front of me. I think they're a little less fun on their own than, say, a Pretty Years or a Count to 5, but just like most boutique shit they're better in numbers. I will say that I don't really go for much fuzz/distortion/gain unless Brian makes it, because no gain circuits sound as good to my ears as his.

Also I guess another perk beyond just being able to directly ask the builders questions is service. When I sent in an EHX Cathedral for repair (not my fault) I had to pay $35 and shipping both ways. When I've sent any of my boutique pedals in for repair, I have only ever paid shipping to the manufacturer, and Dwarfcraft even covered that for me the one time I had to send something to them. Also I typically get my boutique stuff back within a week of shipping it in, and my Cathedral was gone for almost a month, so :idk:

I still really miss my DD-6, which I gave to my old roommate for Christmas two years ago...

PS sorry to get on-topic :lol:
LOL! How dare you get on topic!! Seriously though, cool post and thanks for it. i don't particlarly agree about Brian (assuming you mean SS/BS) because I think his stuff sucks (although I do concede it's very well thought out and fabricated), but that's what makes the world go round......our opinions.

For all this time I thought it was because of a supernova blast causing angular momentum.

When engaging in sockgaze, I appreciate Boss' big footswitches for not making the bottoms of my feet hurt.

So, there's that.
