.....and, facing much local anti-semitism and other forms of oppression and discrimination that were gathering steam, all the key German distortion pedal researchers secretly left Germany for America in the late 1930's, where they worked alongside Werner Von Braun and other scientific refugees, eventually developing "Da Bomb".   Many know from Art Thompson's book "Stompbox" that MXR got its name from the mixers that the company initially produced out of a garage (MXR being a vowel-less abbreviation).  Not many people know this, but DOD got its name from the secret Department of Defense labs in Utah, where all these distortion pedal scientists initially worked.  :wink:

Sorry, couldn't resist starting another myth.  :twisted:
