State of the board

I'm using this board in an upcoming show, and it's been working great for me so far, so I thought I'd share. The pedal order is a little weird, but It's what worked to make it all juuuust barely kinda fit. It goes: Tuner (love the strobostomp!) > KO noisegate (simple, cheap, effective) > Morley power fuzz wah > Cali 76 > JHS Bonsai (got it to try out a bunch of ts styles, but I think I've just landed on the ts10 so I may just get one of those and simplify a bit) > Caroline Somersault (I like some drive before and some drive after modulation) > Turbo Bandicoot (my own design! This is a rat with an added bass control, switchable parametric eq, and clipping options) > Boss RE-202 (almost always on to provide a bit of halo) > Blue Colander Tibetan Quaalude (colors everything and adds a bit of tasty dirt before heading to the amp).

Weird dark mode text behavior on Android 15

Since updating to 15 I've had issues with this kind of text display. This, for instance, is in Messages. Messages itself is set to follow the system theme, and the system theme is set to dark mode. If I set it to light mode the text displays as expected. Trying to manually set the theme in Messages doesn't fix it. Nothing special going on with the phone itself - it's a Pixel 6 Pro just running regular Android. Thought I'd post in case anyone has seen something similar.

New Cab Day!

Just got this vertical 4x12 from Zilla. Got it to pair with this VHX. It currently has four k100's in it, but I'm planning to swap a couple for v30's in a different cab. The vertical 4x12 with the tip-back wheels and handles are really cool - I got this thing up a couple flights of stairs myself without too much trouble, and it sounds great. I gotta say, this form factor solves a lot of problems with the typical 4x12 - posting here so hopefully more guitar nerds see it! Zilla (and Paul!) are great to work with, and make really solid stuff.

(The two on the sides I ordered a few years back when the F12-X200s came out - they built these from the reference cab specs that Celestion published, and I mostly use them with my Kemper and a Matrix GT-1000 power amp. They're also pretty rad. I've taken these out separately and run synths through that power amp and it's a killer setup for that sort of thing)
