Blast the paint off them and they'd look like weird retrofuture tech relics from fallout.
Would rock that.

Plus they take 6 AA batteries, so all the more fallout-worthy/ready to club a wandering subhumanoid (30 damn batteries in all).

Ok that is a total deal breaker right there.

Those Martin Cowboy guitars straddle the line between tasteful/less, but more the latter for their price tags/sketchy build quality/reasons for being (short scale acoustics are a-ok, but the custom painting really makes 'em just painful enough to wince):

But then again I'd be totally happy if this were painted on one, instead, so w/e:

Weird
I think some have a t00b in them though? maybe its gotta be different to power the t00b...

although i kinda suspect the t00b is a gimmick

Why would you need to power the moon?

That's not much, that's 6x1.5v batteries.

Same as a DD-20.

Reptiles need power too.

Better make sure it's enough to power two moons:

I've got the delay (Amazon had a one day sale on and it was only £50 - about $70) so I thought it's worth a gamble for that price, and it is a lovely thing. Yes it looks pretty hideous, but I'm not fussy about looks and most importantly it sounds great. It has three Cool Audio V3205SD analogue delay chips in it and three delay settings - short (up to 300ms) long (900ms) and Both, which is my favourite as both delays run into each other creating a messy reverby soup of delay. When you add in the modulation function as well it gets quite wonderful. It also has a soft footswitch so you don't get any clicks when you activate it. I wouldn't have paid the full normal price for this, but if you see it on sale it's definitely worth trying.

Yup, standard 9v power source...just not in a familiar single cell's package. :hobbes:

I had a Vox Cooltron tube pedal. It could take power from a wall wart @9v or 4 AA batteries. So either it needs 6v & steps down the voltage from the psu or runs off batteries in turbo starved plate mode. The orig FZ-1 FuzzTone only took 2 cells!
