Old tubes, New pedal?

[matopotato]

These things happen. I once had a B.K. Bulter tube overdrive, back in the 80s.  I couldn't get it to sound right (cough solid state amp cough).  So I smashed it to smithereens in the driveway.    What a jerk.

Sorry to hear that. At least it was quick and likely not too painful. For the OD. May it have perfectly driven tones in Tube heaven.

I won't tell you what I did to my '77 Strat   

   
I was 16 and 1/2 back then. I could have nourished it for you... or for myself...
Funny, it was around then I started playing acoustic. Wish I had picked up an electric as well back then...
