Have I seen that Tokai before? Definitely would have noticed the DAM circle logo around the switch!
Relatively quiet year for me, gear wise. Highlights include the Musonic wah I picked up from Joe Gagan (maybe the best wah ever), a Glou Glou Rendezvous (filter on that thing KILLS) and this beast:

I’ve bought surprisingly little this year. The three highlights are:

How do you like that car? Was thinking about buying of those too.
I love it. It's slow and I don't care. My previous wagons were a Mazdaspeed3 and WRX which were far more entertaining, but this thing gets 35mpg and my wife can drive it cuz it's an automatic. I look forward to paying it off and then buying something ridiculous like a Challenger R/T. :smashed:

Best gear purchase for me was an old Ampeg SVT-II non-pro, even though I had to sink $500 into it within a month. Sounds so good, I don't care! Other highlights were another Ezekiel and fancy Nordy vP4.

^^^ I have posted it now and again HB but probably minus the sticker. When I posted a pic of it on Instagram I had someone ask me if it actually had a fuzz built into it and if that switch engaged it? :badteeth: I won't lie, it did cross my mind asking the Cap :hihi:

Congrats on finally landing one :freakout: :party:

Now you can sell me the SB-67 back as you won’t be needing it anymore :badteeth:
I still rock the SB-67 love that little pedal. I think the SB-67 sounds more similar to Dave’s Fuzzaround builds then the fleshhead but then again the Fleshhead can do Fuzz face to a raging MKII pretty easy. I really love dave’s High gain fuzz builds there’s always that little bit extra you can get before all hell breaks loose.

Thanks Adrian it’s definitely a desert island pedal every time I plug in it gets played

Those are really cool and warm sounding, nothing else sounds like it...I need to pick up another!
