Happy NGD Conway! :thumbup:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

The toilet look never bothered me, but the bulkiness did. It’s a shame because the have some great sounding pedals. The Open Road was an awesome sounding OD.

I've owned a Xotic SP Comp and used it several times. I like it so much cause it's sounds is fantastic.
One of my friend told me that Barber is better than Xotic so i'm thinking to try it.
