re: #521 makeitstop

I’ve got no dog in the fight in these series at all. Just seeing Cavs or Golden State (or Miami before that, or the Bulls teams in the 90s) getting to the Finals every year kills my interest.

Boston got close, but their youth betrayed them in the biggest moment. And I don’t even like The Cs, but would have watched just for the novelty of having a young team challenging for a chip.

The torch will pass sooner or later. I was hoping for sooner, but I can wait another year. :)

A Mooer GE-200, it’s in transit and will arrive tomorrow. Mooer is a Chinese company that’s flown below the radar to this point - they’re known mostly for their mini-stomp boxes - but they’re doing some high-end things with a more moderately-priced unit in this modeler. It meets my criteria for travel (gotta be small enough to fit into my luggage) and has actual amp modeling that sounds amazing for the price point. Add in that you can load your own IRs and now you’re doing stuff that the high end units like Kemper can do. And it’s also got an expression pedal and an on-board tuner, which the Tech21 Fly Rig didn’t have (and I really need both for live). Demo video behind the button.

Conversely I root for the old guys when I don’t have any other allegiances. I historically never rooted for the Spurs but when they were fielding those mature teams at the end of their run I just loved it.
