ILF Secret Satan 2024 - Small and Cozy edition

[Dowi]

Soo happy to see all the gifts and the super cool and weird and tasty stuff people send to each other. Even if for me this year has reached an all-time-low for gear and playing in general, the ILFMAS has gathered a special place in my favorite moments of the holiday season.
This time around i feel like i’ve done less than i could with treats etc, but at least i know the gear part was appreciated, can’t go wrong with Ryan stuff. :
:ug:

Waiting for my box to arrive, apparently it’s stuck somewhere but i have no hurry, they say to await a pleasure, is itself a pleasure right?

Cheers to all of you and may 2025 bring some excellent noise in your life!

Never taken part in Secret Santa, but wanted to say I love that this is still going!

Big props to D.o.S. for orchestrating it this year. I think our annual ritual really helps our unique little corner hang together.

Yes! Thanks D.o.S!!!

My brother in fuzz, my family of eight has been eating on those snack for several days and I still have more than half left. Even had enough to make a little goodie bag for an Italian transplant friend I play soccer with. We had a good round of Connect Four tonight, too.

10/10. Would definitely recommend.

Wow, amazing stuff in here! Mine still hasn't arrived (damn you customs in [redacted country]) but I suppose the Fates are fair because the gift for me hasn't arrived yet either so it all works out.

Getting excited!

I guess Small and Cozy also means Slow and Lazy.
Happy New Year waiters!

[coldbrightsunlight]

Sorry for the slow post, opened this a couple of days ago (I did not have the willpower to resist when it arrived despite my previous post).

Absolutely incredible haul thank you so much oam!!!!



The sampler is something I'd been looking at anyway, I've only had a couple of hours with it but it seems very fun indeed. Love the ease of sampling using the mic.

The fuzz is perfect! I tried a real FZ-3 this summer at ILFEU and was totally blown away, when I'd never really even heard of it or paid it any attention before. It is just a great classic not-too-specific fuzz sound, with a lot of usable variation in the gain and tone. This clone sounds fantastic

Regrettably one cider did not make it through US border force (dented and open can with tape on it, I can only suspect they had a festive party one night with confiscated booze...). But the other two were very nice. Chocolate is great. And the tiny record player toy should be fun to sample into the TE, for several layers of lo-fi

I'm glad the rest of the the package survived the damaged can!

Ladles et jerryspoons, I hath bean blessed with the ILFMAS gifs o'er 24 in 2025 (my box, my choix!).

That crazy book (signed!) is a wonder 2 behold, and very luxe & glossy on the inside (where it counts)! I am flummoxed with the gift of Utah Cheese Jar, tho I did righteously impulse buy a bag of tortilla chips 4 Neu Yeers that I will consume in tandem widdit, albeit when the 15 inches of snow finally melts and I can walk in the neighborhood to flex out those luscious calories the both shall earn me. And somehow? I've nebber tried bison (again, a luxury for those luxurious thymmes), so now I can chew on our ancestors' favorite foods in a possibly semi-ethical whey, and now I'm juan steppe closer 2 actual paleo eatin', minus ranch sauce (probably the third food group of our ancesterol heritage that has been hitherto unbeknownst up till this pointe). I did lose contact of Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve as a unit b4 they released an LP (I mostly know their remix werks), so this disc was a nice sooprize as Xmas loot, fer shure! And last but certainly knot least, the Way Huge Attack Vector! I cannot beliebe how smol the Small Series are IRL, but it's p. sweet & petite & I'm so eggcited to pair it up on somme keys, mebbe stranger things in the future! Thank you, 01010111, you are a guud egge!

That's a good sweater.
Including popcorn as a packing material is smart.
Looks like a fun pedal!

I got my package earlier this week! customs held it up over xmas, maybe they wanted to jam a bit too.

Coldbrightsunlight got me a MOOSE BATTLE HAMMER!
Which is extremely on point with my wishes, as I wanted something conan-y or a rat, and this is both. Great sounding, it's taken its spot as one of the 4 pedals on my board. Rat people, don't sleep on this - it's a rat with baxandall tone stack and a built in boost.

I also got the 'quarters' vinyl by king gizz, which is excellent and looks great; pic not mine:


Of course, there was lots of candy to be had, and I like half of it twice as well as I should like, and I like less than half of it half as well as it deserves. There was marzipan to be had.
I've also heard there might be an extra still incoming!


Honorable mentions to fcknoise who got me a v2 small stone phaser!!!

[coldbrightsunlight]

Glad you like the hammer! I am thinking strongly about getting one because it's so good.

[oldangelmidnight]

Moose stuff seems so cool! EU conversion rates are not on my side.
