CONTEST Soldano 30 Mini Head

[fig]

Curious . . . . . . . . just how does one gnarfel the garthok? Is it anything like a grasshopper with a wooden leg kicking all the seeds out of dill pickle?

Best person to ask is Beldar from France. He's the only known human to ever perform that maneuver successfully .

I guess that’s one way to gnarfel the garthok might not be the preferred method but hey different strokes right?

Have we found this mythical pedal builder with no amp yet?

It takes someone truly dedicated to the tone chase to sell all their amps for more component spending money.

There are a lot of desktop DPS jockeys, but I don’t think they are building pedals

Just to make certain...DPS stands for damage per second? My universal translator needs a firmware update.

I meant DSP I don’t know what a DPS is…my bad… maybe it’s how metalheads keep tempo (damage per second)

I would ask him myself, but my spaceship is in the shop and I heard that Beldar was back on Remulak.

If making algorithms for the FV-1 counts as being a "DSP jockey", then I am one who actually builds pedals. I know there's one or more around here too.

That’s something I have been meaning to venture into, but that’s kind of a small group that actually builds hardware interface and codes. ( I hope to get there one day) I was referring to users of programs like BiasFX and Neural DSP ect., thoes end users that I have interacted with doesn’t seem to be too interested in physical hardware for the most part, but there is always exceptions to the rule.

But I'm so lazyyyyyyyyy......

I'm so sorry ... I thought you did just tube pedals, I never made the connection before:

I built my first pedal while I was still just using plugins in a DAW, but nowadays I use a Quad Cortex to run my pedals into.

Puts his hand up again...

Although building pedals is still pretty new to me and building amps most definitely is not.

Angel (the rabbit) is a badass

@fig I have a daughter. We used to watch My Little Pony cartoons together. Fluttershy is the pony in that pic and she’s pretty rad, but Angel is a stone cold badass. It IS the rabbit!

Good morning and respectably positive news everyone!

The contest has ended, and it's time to pick a winner. That's the respectable part. I haven't yet found the box, so my 99% certainty may have been a tad delusional ...I'll look around some more, and chances are I put it in another larger box.... If it happens I cannot locate the crate, I'll find a suitable suit for the traveling sound increasing device.

I asked my wife to choose a number between 1 - 120. She chose 45, which happens to be a number of musical significance to many. I remember standing in front of the "45 rack" at the record store checking out the latest singles, their flip-sides, and all the info I could absorb from the label, as well as the vibe from the shop itself. Then I'd wade over into the album section where amazing things happened...but that's another story perhaps.

Today...45 is the post made by someone obviously destined to win this little box... @Paradox916 ! Congrats! I hope it serves you well.

Thanks to everyone for playing along and for this community as a whole, for being here! I continue to be impressed, enlightened, dazzled, intrigued, and delighted...thank you!

That’s awesome! Thank you very much @fig for such a generous contest and banter ignition!
