    I recently moved from my childhood home were I grew up listening to Nirvana while taking walks to clear my head after full hard days. Eventually I started watching youtube videos on my favorite band and came across your videos recreating Nirvana live tones, guitars ect. It serously inspired me to pick up an old silvertone I inherited from my grandmother, the thing hadn't had it's strings changed since the 70's and sounded exactly like the stella harmony Kurt played. I've been playing guitar for two years now and still rock Nirvana as my number 1 most listened to band. I moved about 1 1/2 years ago and every time I turn one of your videos on it reminds me of the best days of my life, getting into music, talking long walks in my quiet neighborhood listening to Aneursym, In Utero, Nevermind, Bleach and all the above. Truly your channel means lots to me, honestly it's a gateway into my childhood and early teen years as well a memory of my old home and family, thanks for putting out so many amazing video's man, you're truly an inspiration

    I absolutely LOVED my Electro-Harmonix Poly Chorus. But I didn't take the "OVERLOAD" indicator seriously...and completely fried the thing. She went out in a blaze of glory. And at $200 I couldn't afford to replace the board so I ended up getting a Small Clone instead. There was something else I wanted to add but can't remember. Oh well, whatever...NeVeRmInD.
