I just wanted to say how very much I genuinely and non-ironically appreciate that people I don't even know are trolling me about the Fab Tone, and how people contact me off of ilf and ask if I'm "the Fab Tone guy".

I might not play the guitar very well, but at least I'm "the Fab Tone guy". My guess is that those two things are not entirely unconnected.

That was me, per the last.fm thread here in ILF, just wasn't sure who you were over there and asked :cry:

I think you were the first, but you're not the only one! Clearly this is my legacy in the music world along with "the bunny's guy" for my long crusade in promoting that one band that I cared a lot about but nobody else did.

Heh, yea. I wasn't a fan of that one either, I just didn't buy it!

Amazing how that works.

The fact that the black metal people thought it was a ..metal pedal...is funny.

It was the underground wierdo/shoegaze thing of its day.

I tried finding a still of my favorite quote fromTREMORS 6 because it perfectly encompasses the power of the Fab Tone. I couldn’t find it but... for suggested search... someone had “TREMORS 6 meaning” so that made my day. Because some people truly do not understand the deeper symbolism of TREMORS 6.

I got her for $20, same as my 18V Cool Cat Chorus, they'd still be happily together if the CCC's power supply barrel weren't getting dodgy.
