    Pink is my favourite! Over the past year, I got a pink Telecaster guitar, a pink mini amp, a Fender pink guitar cable, and pink pedals: Keeley Eccos (limited edition), Alexander Sugarcube (limited edition), JHS Lucky Cat, OBNE Sunlight, Hotone Krush and a Mid-Fi Electronics Clarinot clone made in a pink Hello Kitty cookie tin. I also just got a pink LSD1820 by Mid-Fi Electronics. But that’s a sampler/sequencer. Thanks for helping me to decide to buy some of those pedals!
    Let’s not pretend pedal aesthetic doesn’t matter. Just look at the maybe 100 colourways Earthquaker Devices has released lol.
    Those Collision Devices pedals sound great and are aesthetically gorgeous. They go with your Custom Neon Sign perfectly!

    Now this is how multi effects are done. Gotta love that alt color too. There's nothing like a good delay/reverb combo with an effect on the side that makes both work even harder. I'm most in love with the modulated delay part, but that's nothing new, don't mind me lol. Any day the Moogs come out to play is a joy :)

    I love modular synths so much. Synths in general, but modulars most of all. Lets us get to the core of the sound, the sound of electrons doing their thing, and then we shape the sound from there. Making sounds all the way from the very basic building blocks is just endlessly fun.
