I like him! He looks very happy and secure, not to mention, very, very tired.

Oh dear someone got out of the wrong side of the bed. No need to get fractious...only trying to answer the question you asked.
My contribution with a little doodle
Was going cabin crazy so this just dead ash, on the pasture fence, seemed like good winter exercise.
With a heavy lean and a split trunk, dropping it was a bit of an adventure, but it ended well.
Horses helped clean up the brush. Over a couple days they removed a lot of bark, think they get bored with hay.
Allison is still on limits from back surgery so I did the splitting. About 2/3 of a cord is stacked where I dropped it, brush piled in the woods, but need to haul the splits to the wood racks for drying when there is less snow.

Nice dog Doug.
And what question was that?

It was a statement...questions usually end with ?
Whatever works....works!
Yes, but you said I asked a question, what question was that?
It is not enough to be able to read, one must be able to understand what they are reading!
I don't know what effects the Bender and the flat head pedals are but I need them
. I suspect the Bender is a Tone Bender Fuzz clone, and the Flat Head is an over drive of some sort? Do you sell them? How do they sound?

The question you asked in #18 to which I offerd a suggestion in #19 - perhaps if the re-read the thread it may help.
Well, that was pretty pointless, the question I asked was directed at Skull. But, I'd already offered a solution in #15
This conversation is going nowhere, so I'll bow out1
BTW, I do hope you look nothing like the character in your profile pic, that would be very unfortunate!

Bender is a clone of the Earthquaker Devices Black Ash Fuzz (which I renamed to Shiny Metal Ass Fuzz). It sounds good (but never as good as the Youtube reviews of the real thing of course). It has a toggle switch for bypass, more for looks than anything else, but not an issue with me since my pedal board is relay based. There is room there however to change it to a proper stomp switch. The "flatty" is another Earthquaker, this one is a Westwood Overdrive clone. Sounds like it should. Originally I was going to put a clone into the box that only had 2 pots (to use the 2 positions on the intake manifold), but couldn't think of one that I didn't already have. So went to 4 pots (2 at the rear) with the Westwood. What I should have done is put my EHX Satisfaction Fuzz (2 pots) in there instead. I ended up putting the SF in an old mouse I had kicking around for about 20 years.I don't know what effects the Bender and the flat head pedals are but I need them
I do sell some pedals, mostly locally to people I know. The flathead has way too many hours in it (started out in life as a cpu heatsink) for me to part with, but I may consider parting with Bender (since I have about 5 other fuzzes). Here's a pic of the Satisfaction Fuzz. Sounds great. Simple circuit.
One the wilder side, I've even used an old Ford Distributor Cap for a Blues Breaker clone, but once also held a Frantone CreamPuff fuzz (sold that one to a "car guy" who's also a great guitarist.

So not only do you seem to object to others posting their hobbies but also someone else trying to enlighten you with a suggestion to your question.
To compound your apparent ignorance you also feel the need to post insults. You will not be missed.
Ring a bell? And you you think I'm insulting!
Ring a bell?
yeah, that
My favorite alternative hobby is reading about your alternative hobby. Insert smiles and laughing ass here.
