Members Cheese Grits Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 I built a stomp box or two in my day, and I definitely enjoy the part when you stand around in the electronics store browsing the switches. But, I think these guys maybe appreciate it more than anybody really should: http://crave.cnet.co.uk/0,39029477,49293357-1,00.htm It's a funny read, for those who care.

Members Cheese Grits Posted November 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 This is my favorite, I think. #9 - The unswitchable switch This is an off switch that is very close to our hearts, because it's in our very own data centre. What makes this switch unique is that it can't be turned off. Ever. Due to a misunderstanding with a contractor, the protective case that surrounds it is totally sealed. While this does a good job of protecting the switch from accidental activation, it could also create a problem when there's a situation that requires the power to be swiftly cut. Still, the main fuse box isn't very far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 This is the weirdest appreciation thread - I thought it was a parody at first, but I was pleased to find that it was in earnest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. This was definitely not a parody. It is decidedly nerdy, however. I listened to the song "Every Door" on your Soundclick page, and I dug it. It reminds me of a cross between David Bowie circa Labyrinth and David Bowie circa 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
