Hey, guys.

This is probably an odd question from a 37 year old family man with a decent job in the city, but...

It's my birthday today, and Ive been given a total of £80.  This is money that DOESN'T have to go towards anything for the kids, and DOESN'T have to put diesel in the car.  It's mine.  All mine.

And I'm VERY excited about it.

So what shall I spend it on?  I could get a couple of BYOCs for that; I don't have anything tubescreamer-ish.  Or maybe a cheap pedal board...

What would YOU get?

Mark.

Mine's in June, but I hate the summer  :evil: .  I'd be better off in Scotland, or maybe Greenland.

Happy birthday Mr B!

Happy Birthday MrB!

Hmm 80 quid... I'm not much in to pedals (that's Sue's department), I'd be thinking "That's almost half of a Stormy Monday set".

If I had £80, It'd cover about half the repair bill on my new JMP50 I reckon.
  But for someone else, especially if you don't have a TS-type pedal, I'd consider getting an MI Audio Blue Boy Deluxe. It's a very well made boost/OD pedal, that will cover all TS-type needs and many other tones too. At £79 it's a steal, and exactly the right amount !

BTW, happy birthday !

Statistically people born in May are the happiest of people and are less prone to depression.  I was born on 2 June, so I guess I missed the boat by 2 days  :D
