An ode to Donner.

Postby SteveA » Sun Mar 07, 2010 5:46 pm

Just got my first DonnerBox. A great thanks to Cabo for selling it to me! A Model H in perfect condition. I anticipated the DonnerBox to be nicer, slicker than the one I had (standard paint job) but didn't expect it to blow me away. I was mesmerized by it. I know some of you out there are used to it but man is it ever wonderful.

Thank You Man.

Yes, I most certainly concur(SYOD, AWF, CH, FF DELUXE) the Donnerbox/BJ pedal is a WIN/WIN situation.

Of course it's always about sound and being at the front of the stage connecting with the audience, but there is that extra "psycho-emotional" kick, knowing/feeling the hummin' tone your getting is coming from a visual box of art when you look down. :D

You know funny thing you mention about research pedals as I just pulled out my spring pair of tone-testing overalls :mrgreen:

Hey, you gotta be comfortable when doing research, am I right?!? :lol:
