This might be the most incredible day of my career. As everybody knows, i'm a working/gigging musician, from Patagonia, Argentina, who builds his own toys, in the search of the perfect tone.
There are lots of things i cannot get in here, and the pedals i use, were built because i couldn't buy/get the original ones. ( but i don't just clone...they end up being unusually different from what they were suppossed to... :twisted: ).
Paul told me he was going to send me a AD633 chip to build a ring modulator as it was impossible to get in here.
And today i got it!!!!!!!! :D  :shock:  :twisted: . I'm so happy!!.
Maybe it means nothing for a lot of people, but it's really important for me. It shows the there's people in this world who cares, and maybe we can build a better world after all.
Wish i could travel to australia some day, and buy some of his unbelievable stuff, and of course...meet him in person. Thanks Paul. You really brought light to my day!!. Thaaannkkksss!!!!! :lol:

It was hard to believe when people in this forum spontaneously reached out and gave not just knowledge and advise, but also send me components as a gift  :shock:

As you say, maybe it's little or nothing for some people, but for me it's just like...(can't find the words)...well, makes you regain a lost faith.

Thanks again to all of you who have given, and still give.

Sorry for the "Disney moment" :twisted:, but i really mean it.
Cut it large, and smash it into place with a hammer.

Stompboxes, isn't that what brought the USSR down? Electro-Harmonix started having pedals built there and before you know it, Soviet era communism was dead. Now we got china making guitars, I suspect they are next.  ;)

Ironic, isn't it? I can't access this site from the internet cafe at my gym because "CyberPatrol" prevents me - quote "Site may contain excessive violence"...  :roll:

Perhaps "CyberPatrol" tapped into a link with samples of Joe Davisson's pedals.   :P

Real stupidity and artificial intelligence are not that far removed.

Well, people have given me some pretty good stuff free at times (like the person in Europe who came across with some out-of-production microprocessors that I needed for my quad rack MIDI_CV convertor that I manufacturer!) so... ya kind of have to balance it up! :wink:
incidentally the neighbours at the back of my place just gave me 3 cartons of books rather than throw them in the recycling bin, got half a dozen worth reading, half a dozen for friends, and $50 from a book dealer mate for the rest! Keep stuff moving, is my rule.
