And, uh, I collect-

Would you like a ZVEX pedal or something?

I, I've had, I've had ZVEX fuzzes, of course.

Yeah.

I own way too many Chase Bliss pedals, uh-

... no longer even sell in stores.

They just sell them on their own.

Yeah, 'cause are they, are they hand-painted? 'Cause I remember, I have, like, a ringtone modulator from ZVEX, and the big thing is it was, it was also, you know, hand-painted, numbered, all that other stuff.

That's almost like the Van Halen Center.

And then the fuzz factory, you know, Zvex fuzz factory is in there and it's gate and volume.

So boom, opens the gate up and that's, you know, and he starts and he can pitch it.

So it's almost like having a whammy pedal.
