I loaded trucks during peak season one winter. Horrible experience. Maybe not the worst job I ever had but close. I still have occasional dreams about thousands of individually boxed xmas wreaths coming down the chute. I misspoke, that's no dream. That's a nightmare. They screwed my buddy who got hurt on the job. Even took away his Xmas "peak season hire" bonus. Then they responded to his ruined knee with an attorney. The bastards.View attachment 30767
@#$%^&* USPS,
and @!#$%^&* UPS!
USPS on my Schitt's Creek list for forcing small independent businesses to resort to shipping via UPS!
UPS on my Schitt's Creek list for ... where do I start the infarctions? Today mainly because in addition to the extortionistic extra charges —$48, the MOTHER#$%^&* don't take cash? WhoTF doesn't take CASH. To quote Danny Devito's character in HEIST:
"Everyone needs money. That's why it's called 'money'."
So what if I didn't have a debit card? I don't get MY goods? EXTORTIONIST BASSTICHES, FARGIN ICEHOLES!
That extra UPS-h-i-t wiped out any sale-savings, AND ate up Fig's benevolent contributions to strengthening FFFX...
Apologies, fellow pedal-builders, for the ventilation. Maybe I should get into the HVAC business... so I can afford UPiece-of-ShIT. There's a reason that company's vans are brown, and it's not the paint.
Sorry.

Okay…you drive a hard bargain. I dug through my stash…will this work?I've been through this before. It's not the 4050 I want (which is indeed buffered), but the 4049 — just NOT the unbuffered 4049UBE.
That's like Five 125b's!!!I've played various clones of this pedal for almost 10 years and finally found an original that was a good enough deal to pull the trigger on. It showed up yesterday, and we've been spending some quality time bonding. It won't be going on my pedalboard (it weighs about as much as my entire pedalboard), but I plan to keep it for the rest of my life.
