Thanks mang!

Everyone can line up LARGE shots of something strong and we can do a group toast to EVH!

I haven't drunk any liquor in a long while, but I'll be up for that.

Man that is some awful news, I am really sorry to hear that. You're a key part of this little corner of the internet!

Praying for a miracle, or at the least as good a ride into the sunset as possible.

I've got six years under my belt as well and I think in your shoes I'd be enjoying a couple stiff drinks and as much fresh air as I could stand.

@Achilles - I just wanted to say I really appreciate your positive attitude and the fact that you're injecting some levity into the thread.

I wish you comfort and wish your family and friends can find some peace, and I hope you can spend lots of time with them in your remaining time.

Don't you dare touch the stuff otherwise!

Hey, did ya ever get the BOSS bundle?

 

[Blix]

Oh damn, sad to read this.


But you have a great attitude about it, go out with a bang!

Enjoyed talking about Equator Audio with ya, would love to hear more loudspeaker stories!

Hey, did ya ever get the BOSS bundle?

Yes, thank you! I was tinkering around with them on a side board and they sound really good. The DM-2 and CE-2 are like THE analog delay and chorus, definitely preferred over the MXR Carbon Copy and Analog Chorus pedals!

I plan to add an RV-6 and a drive pedal or two for a nice little Boss board. They're the first Boss pedals I've had in probably 20 years so fun to mess around with that again. I did order new gaskets to fix the CE-2W switching and need to get some proper knobs for the DM-2W though

Sorry to hear this man. But glad to see you're in good sense of humor mode.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

 

[Holden Afart]

Damn Donnie, so sorry to hear this. What a bunch of bullshit!

I haven't had a chance to BS with you in a while unfortunately but I'm going to miss you dude.

I hope you beat all odds and live healthier for longer than predicted.

I'll never forget you and either will the internet. You, my friend are a legend, and damn it, after you've ridden off into the sunset, if it's ok with you I'd like to make sure you live on as the legend you are.

Best regards Donnie.
