New chick on the block wants the news on boost pedals

[zener]

And the storm subsides...

What a lovely group of hands on musicians you are

You've just seen it. :lol:  

I'm still a bit amused with how thread this went through. 4 pages and 1200+ views in less than 3 days. Pretty fast considering the fact that this ain't a "post your pic of ..." or "what's your favorite..." or "new at ROG..." threads. :roll:

True...but did you notice that the "post a pic of yourself" thread revived right after Melanie posted?

[Ansil]

no, amada is my administrative assistant.  she handles sales, does all the paperwork, shipping, errands... my apprentice is working directly on the electronics about 50% of the time and the rest is knobbing, footing, testing, qc, and tracking repairs.

hmmm  AMADA...  sorry lost my self for a minute   .  btw zack  she is really nice on the phone too very professional without being cold like a lot of people who answer phones are.  two thumbs up on excellent service.

I agree that it is interesting that this thread got so much attention.

And the post a pic of yourself thread was suddenly resurected.

Hmmm.

Melanie, I don't think this is a coincidence.

Hmm... :roll: you're right  

Aron's Stompbox Forum's "thread conspiracy", huh? :lol:

[Melanie K]

For the record, I'm not at all worried or offended in any way, just overwhelmed by the 4 pages of replies when I half expected to be ignored as I checked back in on my thread.

This is a good thing!!!

You guys are very funny geeks in indeed (no offence :wink: )
and have made me feel very welcome and have inspired me to try this out when I hadn't quite convinced myself if it was a good idea, so, a big thanks to all of you.

Now I'm off to get busy,
see you crazy bunch soon.

Mel

[zachary vex]

[Hal]

LOLOL for some reason that made me laugh really hard.  I guess I was expecting something else there....

Dang!  Now what did I do with my slide rule?  Oh, yeah!  I sold it on E-Bay!

[niftydog]

Now what did I do with my slide rule? Oh, yeah! I sold it on E-Bay!

I just bought one at a garage sale! Mostly out of interest... only just learning how to use one. But hey, for $4AUS I figured it'd be worth it!


I'm glad she used the word geek rather than nerd. There's a distinct difference there, I much prefer being known as a geek. Geeks are way hipper than nerds.

[phillip]

AND NOW (going back to the original purpose of the thread)...which pedal did you decide to build?

Geeks are way hipper than nerds.

Hmmm. Geek eh? Ah to hell with it, being a geek is way cooler than being 'popular'. I'm actually doing something with my life instead of worrying about my social status at school.

You know what's a sad thing? You have people in this world (near where I live ) who do everything for social status, even when they're in their sixties and have kids and everything... It's all so... fake! While all the geeks are becoming succesful professors and engineers, lol :lol: Oh and tone gods too. No offence Mr. The Tone God :mrgreen:

Hey Ben,i  saw your last name for the first time,you aren`t by any chance Martin Allen`s son are you?
Greetings,Ed

[smoguzbenjamin]

No, my dad's name is Rod :mrgreen: Sorry Ed

[Fret Wire]

....And the Geek shall inherit the Earth....or something like that. :roll:

[EdJ]

I don`t know if it is a pity.Martin Allen had a great band in the late 70`s/early 80`s called the Sunny Jim Band.Last time i heard from him he was living in Amsterdam but i guess that must have been 15 years or so ago.
