Like, of those three initial drives, I'm curious whether you remember the selection process, uh, for that initial idea.

Um, I had the initial thought of, like, the concept of the thing, and I think I talked to Brady.

I was like, "I wanna try this circuit out." And, um, I was like, "Are there any, like, distortions that you, that you like that you would want to be in there?" And Brady's a big fan of the, the DOD 250.

And so he was like, "I would like if that was the..." I think we were talking about that there would be kind of a, a transparent drive and a heavier drive, and then just something else.

[laughs]

You know? But, uh, and so the-- yeah, the-- so the transistor drive, uh, was just kind of one we threw together and, like, it tweaked, tweaked it a little bit, and it was just kind of a nice in-between of, like, the super hard clipped 250, the soft clip kind of clean drive.

And the transistor in the middle had kind of a squishier element to it, a little more reactive to your, your playing.

And so it was sort of like, okay, these are three pretty different drives, which is, in my mind, was the, the point of, like, to get the stereo field as wide as possible if you're, like, uh, splitting these into three amps.

Yeah,

I think so for me, my position is I'm like a classroom assistant in special education.

And I'm also one of the building reps for a union.

And so like when the metro surge started in December, I work at a school that has a very high like immigrant population.

And so we started to see our like attendance taper off a lot in December.

And so we had a lot of kids who like weren't coming to school and the building just started to feel like it was more and more empty.

And then like right after the murder of Renee Goode, We, Minneapolis Public Schools, shut down for two days and gave like staff like some time to like, you know, make sure everyone was safe.

The students and the parents you're interacting with, did you notice that kind of transforming their politics or transforming the way they thought about the world?
