We decided to skip church and go directly to unwrapping. Haha!

Oh man, I got so spoiled!

There was a second pedal in there!
A scrutator!!

And one of those Hispano Shirts. No idea how you call them, well, there was an accompanying note that said it but I'm watching the kids right now and can't go back to looking at the note.

The note was super-cool! Satan called my setup an oddball and said he didn't know what to get me! He decided on the scrutator and dammit, that is a fine choice! I have been toying with Procarsten's at ILFEMALL and totally loved it. I can't wait to put it through its paces.

I also got a CD that looks great and in the note Satan explained it sounds like the noisier side of Hendrix in a NOLA fashion. I think I'm going to love it! Plus it's music that is not in the iTunes/Spotify streaming catalogue so it's one of the few things you actually have to own in a physical way to listen to it! I loved the reasoning behind it!

I can't wait to get to the practice room and try those things!

Please tell me you get to go to the Dom for some kind of Christmas music program? The acoustics in there must be insane...

Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Vidret! :hug:

Arcadia Electronics Phaser kit, and the tuner I was after. :thumb: The t-shirt has added to the motivation I need to get back into exercising too. Each rep will be in Satan's honor.

The famous Djungelvrål!! Awesome! Have fun pranking your friends.

And no, I have never been to the Dom for any sort of Xmas celebration. It's far too full for that sort of stuff. The acoustics are amazing though, that's true.

Buckle up those boners, buds!

(I've had this phone a year and I can't figure out why it rotates the pics I put online, it does it nearly every time, they're straight on my phone and crooked online, I don't know why!)

Here's what was inside my big heavy box from Adam:

That postcard hey, haha! That'll be the best thing hung up in my shop for decades, thank you buddy.

He went nuts!

Crazy spoiling, it's too much! The Evil Dead trilogy alone would have been a sweet treat! Adam and I have been buds for several years and he knows me really well, all the goodies are perfect for me, stuff I love, stuff I'm nostalgic about, and new stuff I haven't even heard of.. awesome surprises, thank you Adam. *big hug* I'm wearing Fist of Jesus shirt tomorrow, gonna look badass!

The Reflex expression pedal is wild, I'm pretty blown away by it. It's covered in DIP switches and buttons and LEDs plus it has deep programming with USB.. right out of the box it's awesome with the BitQuest. You can modulate the expression input with different waveforms and rates, do it automatically or manually, with tons of presets.. it's totally awesome. Plus it does MIDI and CV, it's super powerful. I really wanted one too!

The pipe is the best little pipe I've ever had, it's got a really smart choke system on it and a big opening.. works really flippin well! Maybe the pipe is why all my pics are sideways, I don't know. *orders pizza*

Thanks Adam, I love the goodies!

Happy ILFSS2015 to everyone! :group: :!!!:

That's awesome! Oddly, the photos are oriented correctly if I click on them. Weird.

I'm hoping that mine arrives today still, but if not no big deal.

Evil Dead is the best movie ever. The sequels are just sugar coated cocaine on top.
I didn't even know the bit quest had those capabilities.
I need to go and reassess some things in my life.

Jelly! I've had my eye on the Reflex since they announced it. I'm gonna have to hold up all other purchases and just save for one. Because that helps justify the Bitquest next. And then the CT5. And a MIDI MuRF. :?: Or maybe that's a dangerous freaking gateway. Oh, right. I've found ILF already. A Reflex it is! :!!!:

but santa will come through! maybe it can be a nice early valentines present :hug:
Hey man! I really appreciate your effort. Especially since recent revelations of who is actually to blame for all this shit. Saying that, I've never gotten a valentines days gift from someone I liked, so that will be a milestone in my life <3

Haha I'm glad to hear you tried it! It is really like the weakest kind, but that's okay, one my friends who tried it in my dorm vomited after trying it. :lol:
