Wow - that seems just like the treat for Rick's studio. Maybe not for
the road tho...

Wondering if stomp boxes will react as lab rats on being fed almost
less than they need? The rats grow healthy and live longer under those
minimal supplies. Then I should start running my Behringer pedals on
worn-out batteries to make them  last longer than the usual three
years ;-))
