Solid boxes have a zine. The IR-2 is my amp; its effects loop runs the looper and the drum machine after the amp sound. The Caverns and Lucky Cat share one slot; the Caverns is in right now. The Plethora X5, RC-500, TS9 and Cry Baby sit off the board: the X5 comes out when a song calls for it, the RC-500 lives on my desk with my synths, the TS9 waits on the windowsill, and the Cry Baby wah comes out just for fun (it would go first, before the NotaKlon).
