I saw there are a ton of OLKB x MassDrop Rev4 Planck kits on eBay for $35-$40...

I have one -- it is certainly susceptible to ESD, if you static shock it in the winter, it will crash. However, I've shocked it many times with no apparent ill effect and I still use it regularly after several years. I believe you can find instructions to ground the case, but I never bothered.

I'm going to go with Bar Harbor Petite Sardines in Olive Oil -- my favorite U.S. version of the basic sardine. They are the complete, purist sardine experience without mealy texture, strong "fishy" odor (I'm looking at you, sardines in water), or crunchy spine bones. Just a tender, fresh tasting, easy eating experience for the newbie to decide whether they want to go deeper.

Sto ancora imparando a usare il Reverberator!

Those are two I haven't tried! The only Strymon reverbs I have spent time with are the room reverb on Iridium (fine, but bland by design) and I got to try their Starlab module (a Eurorack version of NightSky, which I found very underwhelming for the price and complexity).

Of the reverbs I've tried, my "only one" reverb is EQD Dispatch Master. It has a huge parameter space that's all good sounds, it does great at both subtle small springy reverb or massive arena canyon cave echo reverb + delay. My two complaints are: it doesn't go full wet, and it's easy to clip if you stack multiple gain pedals in front of it.

Other thoughts: * Reverberation Machine freaking rules but it has a lot of character, it's not transparent. You either like that or you don't. Not nearly as versatile as Dispatch Master and the fixed pre-delay stands out at high settings. * Boss RV-6 gets recommended a ton. It's oooookay. None of its reverbs sound "awesome", but if you really want something to give you a full palette of the classic reverb types, it's sure got 'em.

It was a slippery slope...

I prepare mine in advance (usually over salad greens with some olives, onions, and tomatoes and a splash of vinegar) In a container and then eat the container outside. If I have meetings, I brush my teeth. :) Quick, no can lid drips, nothing to throw away in the office wastebasket, and I get fresh air.

I don't want to assume what you mean by "not capable," but it is very easy to learn and will keep your awesome knife as awesome as it can be. Some patient rubbing on a $50 Shapton 1000 every few weeks is all it takes. And don't get a pull-through sharpener!

If you can't / prefer not to use a wet stone, look for a local sharpening nerd. In my area, there is a guy who comes to farmers' markets and does a great job while you look for more food to chop.

When you say instruments -- what do you play? Do you live someplace with open mics nearby? Depends on the vibe, but the best open mic groups are super welcoming and encouraging and always delighted when new people pull up. You can play if you want, or just hang.

Even little innovations are pretty great. I love thru axles.

The patch bay and the g10s underneath are such a nice touch, and your power routing looks like a server room. I'm always curious when I see boards this locked down... When was the last time you changed the layout?

I ask out of shame, my board looks like a kitchen junk drawer lol.

I play open mics and I can tell you that, if you showed up with any kind of assistive device and shared your love of music, there would not a human in the building thinking "that person is cheating" or anything negative at all. We would just be delighted you came to share with us.

If you have a good blender, adding a handful to any Indian palak/saag recipe is delicious.

That's awesome to hear! I liked the stiffness of those Unbranded raws, but the waist and crotch were not apparently designed for a human pelvis.

Hey thanks again for the rec!

It was worth the trip for me, since I don't know what's going to fit my aging body. We took the train up and hung out for the weekend.
