You know you're a pedal junkie when…
… the smoke alarm right outside your bedroom door starts chirping at 4am, your wife starts chirping at you to do something about it at 4.02am, you're standing on a kitchen chair with your dick flapping about trying to release the catch on the fucking thing at 4.05am, and when you finally realise you have to push up as well as pull the tab back (at 4.10am) and it drops open at the hinge, you don't want to bust into your stash of cheap-ass non-alkaline 9-volt batteries because they sound too good in pedals to waste in a fucking smoke alarm.
And then, when you pry the old battery out and realise it also came from your stash of cheap-ass non-alkaline 9-volts, you start wondering what it might sound like in a Mk I or a Mk II or maybe even that Mk IV and your chances of getting back to sleep are well and truly rooted.
The End.

That's nice and all, inner, and I'm sure the internet has its uses, but will it give me back my sleep?innerflight wrote: ↑Fri Oct 12, 2018 9:01 pm you just won the internet for today possibly for the week

Ha! guess I'm a pedal junkie – have had exactly this experience, except that I don't have a MK I to try my smoke-alarm-sagged batteries. But how can I be a true junkie without one? Hmm. Every so often I go through my pedals to make sure I haven't got any old cheap-arse Target carbon zincs corroding in there (Target's the best, can buy stupid amounts for $5), and discover that a) I have quite a few that I'm pretty sure I've researched recently having forgotten that I already had one, and b) I have some pedals that I must have last used five years ago that I still think I was playing just the other day.
