Store closed for a just a couple weeks. Big gig next week?

It's back.

I think Scruffie mentioned an MXR Stereo Chorus sometime in the future as well. The Xvive 3005 reissue gave new life to these 3008s!

Oh shit! Better give him a time out, Brian.

... As a business owner myself, if a custyhaf a problem with $25 in parts, I would just eat the cost to make the customer happy....

Exactly.   My first real job was at the local McDonald's Beverage and Emporium.   
If a customer came up to the counter and was not happy with
the quality of their order ( for example:  soggy fries ), we just simply :

         a.  shouted "well, la dee fricken' doo da!  I dew declare! y'all is sayin' wat?"
         b.  e = mc²
         c.  sorry, i don't speak engrish, but i can slinky my way 'cross the dance floor ...
         d.  a + b = c
         e.  the correct answer is:   none of the above
         f.   stairway to heaven < highway to hell
         g.  clapton is GOD > DOG si notpalc

Today's quiz is brought to you by Happy Cat Pedals.
We build 'em cuz we like fuzzy McFuzzBalls.   (  clean up!  aisle 2!  )

"We're Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band  ... 
You're such a Lovely Audience, We'd Love to Take U Home ..."

This is exactly what I was going to say, but you beat me to it.

Thank you for doing the research on this! I wonder what the advantage of three, identical companies is?

I always thought it was odd that they look exactly like Antique Electronic Supply. Website is identical.

Wow. Boss really takes some shots at the DIY community with their wording:  "The genuine BOSS and Roland Dimension effect is back"..."the DC-2W is the only pedal available that delivers the classic Dimension experience with complete sonic authenticity."
So Boss has sourced some original Panasonic MN3007s for this? (highly unlikely, if they did, they would be gloating about it all over that page...featuring original BBD technology!). As we already know, the clones made by the DIY community are actually more accurate to the original than their digital recreations.

DC-2 used Mn3207.

Anyway, I saw one listed at AM for $230. "No sir, I don't like it."

Sockets are an IC's best friend.

Just ask that SAD1024 from Radio Shack.

( I think I paid $9.99 for it .... which was a fortune back then ...
imagine if I had bought their entire stock of that magic chip .... )

I imagine Scruff would be hitting you up.

These look very slick! I'd be proud to have built them.

If only this eye to detail was present in the craftsmanship of other fine instrument manufactures.

Does a red led look like a jelly center?

I would be too afraid to own one. "Well, don't point even!"

Oh, is THAT what Brian meant by a free donut?

I was highly suspicious when I saw that announcement -- it would go bad before it hit New Zealand's shores, for example...

I'm pretty sure Hostess donuts have an unlimited shelf life.
