Title: Strange Dream
Post by: madbean on December 16, 2011, 02:25:23 PM
Last night I dreamed that I was at a Prince concert. He has a huge stack of amps, like at least 100, in some kind of monstrous array that was at least thirty feet high. Somehow, there was no security around the rig and I managed to get up the scaffolding behind them. About half-way up there were dozens of pedals sitting around, not plugged into anything. On top of one of the amps sat a boxed JHS Panther delay.

I looked around for a while, decided I had to have a bathroom break and left. The dream took a weird turn for a while about an old pal and former college roommate, but later on I decided I needed to steal Prince's Panther delay. I went back to the amp rig and was walking up to the box so I could stuff it in my backpack. Just then a fight broke out and security was everywhere, so I had to give up my plan. I was pissed because I was going to reverse the Panther.

That's a pretty vivid dream there! I'd be trying to snake that delay too, considering what they cost!

I've dreamed quite a few times that I've been on stage with a guitar, stepped on a fuzz, and the pedal didn't work. This is quite interesting to me considering I've never played live in my life!

lol you know you're in deep when you have a dream about pedals.

One time I was learning a lot about all the beginner parts/info--staying back at home and my mom woke me up. I said something like "...but the resistors? And continuity?"

Was he playin' the Tele? 'Cause when you think of Iconic guitars, Prince = Tele!  ;)

Isn't Prince almost strictly a Boss guy?

Was Prince wearing those pink, ass-less chaps? Do tell  :-*

Cut back on the spicy food before bedtime?

But "Strange Dream" would be a cool name for a pedal, though . . .

I never saw Prince in the dream. Only the amps.

if you send him a purple honeydripper with an awesome prince etched top, and mention you love analog too.  I almost guarantee he'll go nuts for madbean.
