nothing better then beating off to a girl in a video game, then killing her with a riot gun.

i never understood "winning" something from ebay. You buy something from ebay but you can never win. What are you winning? The ability to pay someone for something you want. Great prize.

what you are "winning" is the ability to buy the product. just because you see something on eBay doesn't mean you just pay a set price and it's yours. of course, there are plenty of items like that, but for the most it's about auctions.

Are you really arguing about the logic of a term that is always used for auctions?

i hate you all for turning my thread into an all e-bay thread.... :upset:

but yes, the MXR Blowtorch is an OD / Dist.
Fire it up for the hottest bass sounds this side of Hades -- anything from the traditional tube-like growl to scorching high gain distortion. By focusing the overdrive in the midrange frequencies, the Bass Blowtorch lets you retain low end thunder and high-end sizzle while distorted mids blaze a path through even the densest mix. An active 3-band EQ with 3-position mid shift lets you zero in on an incendiary tone, while the Blend knob lets you balance your distortion with direct signal to taste.

And the Bass Blowtorch burns as clean as it does hot, with 18-volt performance for increased dynamic headroom, clarity and low noise even at lethal volume.

True hardwire bypass circuitry means that when you switch the distortion out, it?s really gone.

Housed in indestructible die-cast metal, the Bass Blowtorch has been stomped, mauled and otherwise road-tested by world class-touring bassists. So ignite your tone with the Bass Blowtorch.

Guitarists will burn with envy.

Features
From traditional tube-like growl to full blown high gain distortion

18-volt performance for increased dynamic headroom and clarity

Low noise performance at loud volumes

Active 3-band EQ with 3-position mid shift for precise tone sculpting

Distortion and direct signal blending

im picking it up Saturday around 10am, just after i get off of work :)

In the defense of our genereally non-thread-reading forum, your thread title is "Won an e-bay auction?" which tends to lead the uninformed to believe that this is a thread in which they may post their Ebay acquisitions. :)

Whenever you get the chance, then....post recordings!:thumb: I am in the market for some crazy distortion, so I'd love to hear if this thing actually lives up to the word on the 'net.

But congrats, mang. New purchases always brighten days.

(Now only if my PCB board would've come in before/at the same time as all the rest of the parts, my day would've been brighter....blast!)

That's awesome, man.

I was thinking about getting a blowtorch. I hear they're pretty excellent.

Although, at the last second I changed my mind and bought a trem pedal. Still, though...I want one.

Care to lend me an ebay secret so that I may acquire one at a lower price, ala you? :thumb:
