Josh Paxton Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 In case you somehow missed this on social media today, here's one account of it. Headline: "Conspiracy theorists mistake guitar pedal diagram for '5G Chip,' alleging it"s in COVID-19 vaccine" https://www.musictech.net/news/covid-19-vaccine-5g-chip-boss-metal-zone-guitar-pedal/ My take: 1. The vaccine will reduce viral shedding, but INCREASE VIRAL SHREDDING!!! 2. A third vaccine has just been just announced by Behringer. Reports indicate that it will do the same thing as the Pfizer version for a third of the price, but will only last about three months.

KuruPrionz Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 As long as it's not another Tube Screamer clone, I am OK with it. Maybe a nice Sansamp AC30 tone or even a Big Muff pi.

David Emm Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Lately, I sometimes feel as if I got vaccinated with a Metasonix AssBlaster. I'd prefer an Eventide reverb, but will accept a Boss pedal.

Stokely Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The human race is going the way of the Krell...except rather than inventing an energy-to-matter device, we are simply trolling ourselves to death via "social" media so that "influencers" can make money off people.

bfields Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Thanks for "viral shedding"/"viral shredding", that had me giggling all day. But I'm holding out for the built-in wireless audio interface--I want to ditch vocal mics and record the voices in my head direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfD Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The vaccine comes in two (2) doses. Then, the question becomes how many presets come with each dose and/or are they co-dependent. It would be a d8mn shame to miss the 2nd dose and instead of distortion, just get a buzz, hiss or crackling sound.
