Remove pants before ironing….

Warning: Because this unit uses an actual flame, there is a risk of fire and burns. Keep away from children and pets. Do not allow children to operate. Wait until glass is cool before touching or cleaning the Stirling engine. Clean with a soft tissue or paper towel. Do not use abrasives on glass. Candle takes several minutes to cool. Seriously. Hot wax may burn and leave stains or marks on everything you love, so take your guitar off when changing candles. If you're in a hurry, set an ice cube in the candle. There's probably one in your drink. Do not spill wax on crotch. Wax may be removed from clothing using an iron through paper towels, no steam. (I learned this the hard way.) REMOVE PANTS BEFORE IRONING. Clean iron thoroughly after it cools.

By the same token, be sure to WEAR PANTS when soldering. :roll:

I guess when you charge $300 for a pedal with 15 components, you have a lot left over for weird R&D… :mrgreen:
(Mostly kidding. Credit where it's due, he's an OG of the boutique pedal scene, and original artwork is worth real money.)

But this is unequivocally creative and cool. And it sounds amazing. I had forgotten all about it, so thanks for sharing!

In a brilliant display of what it's like to be the antithesis of "OG", I had to google the term... :roll:

:shock: Bonkers, but I do appreciate the all the mad scientist mechanical engineering effort that went into this.

if someone needs to buy an appropriate dirty boost before this thing, I may know a guy :wink:
