When are you gonna chang your name to "Invisible Mang"?

There are, actually. Even heaven is hierarchically organized (see: Mark Twain's final published piece 'Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven).

But you will be happier, for sure, until you open the box. You can maintain maximum excitement and happiness as long as the box is unopened.

See: vorfreude.

So the thrill is in the chase? Will my hunt end in a soul crushing anti-climax, as I find that having achieved my goals leaves me with nothing left to strive for?

No.

Shared system or music easel?

Of the two: Shared System. But the allure is building something that reflects your vision, right? So: neither.

Long before there were clones available I hunted and hunted and hunted for a DBA Sound Saw -- when I got it it was what I was hoping it would be and more. It hasn't left my board in years. YMMV.

Are you saying this pedal is more expansive than the human imagination?

It just seems to be the main killer of the joy that possibility brings, at least in my case.

Or just doubt in general, I guess self-doubt doesn't relate to pedals.

Ah I gotcha.

"The more fear we feel about a specific enterprise, the more certain we can be that that enterprise is important to us and to the growth of our soul. That's why we feel so much Resistance. If it meant nothing to us, there'd be no Resistance." --Steven Pressfield

Another way of putting this (I think I read this on ILF) is that video games teach you that the continued presence of obstacles and enemies usually means you're headed in the right direction.

Frickin' A seventy posts to go. I'm not gonna make it. And I've gotta build some bunk beds tonight, so there go my big plans to meet arbitrary and useless goals I set for myself.

Also I have accomplished an alarming amount here today despite committing to doing absolutely nothing.
