fast forward a while after watching that video, and today, while rearranging some gear in my ever-growing collection/addiction of , I thought to myself "hey let's confirm this statement I remember hearing a while back" - I opened up my old trustee, Distressor, sure enough, they actually literally took the time to meticulously cover/mask/sand off some of the main. I see an integral components that make this thing such a "thing" 🤯

Always chasing new magic for the studio 🪄 🥩
