Ecstasy Drive pedal by Wampler Pedals - custom guitar effects, preamp, and amplification modifications and repairs. Indie Guitarist IndyGuitarist We got hit by the remnants of Hurricane Ike.  80mph winds that knocked out power out from Sunday until 7pm Thursday.  The yard cleanup took my boys an entire day and we now have tones of leaves and branches to burn.  I will do a decent update here soon, but for now, check out the link above.  I just got one of these from Brian and it is amazing.  I love the OD.  Warm and slightly fuzzy.,  Very cool.

It worked great everywhere else, but at home, I often picked up the local radio station on it. I guess I am too close to the tower, as it never happened anywhere else I used it.
