"And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
Used to own a black F*nd*r reverb; not an amp, just a reverb unit... picked her up as junk and found the only "fault" to be that it was 110v - had her for some years but sold on to a collector as I could see no reason for keeping... that unit sounds quite interesting... not heard of before, but then again, not presently using any effects...

I had a guitar player who had a Fender reverb unit that was actually designed as a plug in piece for a column PA system back in 69-70. It had a metal rectangular can in it that was filled with oil. It worked OK but my friend opened up the oil can and noticed it wasn't quite full, so he filled it up. He plugged it in and hit one note on his guitar and the freakin' thing went nuts reverberating that one note over and over and gaining volume and speed all the while. It never stopped ;D. It went freakin' nuts :o. He unplugged it an tossed it in a closet and never touched it again. I would bet if he plulled it out and plugged it in again that same note would pick up right where it left off 40 years ago.
I guesss the moral of the story is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" or maybe "don't add oil if it ain't got a dipstick".......maybe "don't smoke pot and mess around with stuff ". ;D
