Sweetwater Advice

Brian Cravens
I recently added the Whirlwind Rochester Series Orange Box Phaser to my pedal board, and am finding it hard to turn off. Oh, the switch works just fine... it just sounds so cool when I'm zoning out on the guitar, I don't WANT to turn it off. Now I need a black light and some psychedelic posters.......
