Re: [wiardgroup] Horrible accident

2008-06-18 by Tyler Harwood

This very same type of thing happened to me the VERY FIRST DAY I got my Wogglebug! I couldn't freakin' believe it. I was actually too embarrassed to ask Grant how to get the replacement knob. It was one of those moments where one is additionally surprised by the high pitched shriek produced as the moment of impact becomes imminent. I'm surprised windows didn't break. I didn't know my larynx could produce that sound! It is indeed a testament to a solidly built piece of equipment that the performance of the module remained unaffected. I now have my few Wiard modules temporarily mounted in an old wine crate, and whenever things are to be shuffled around I stash it away in a cardboard box on the other side of the room like a paranoid obsessive compulsive. My master plan is to build a case that has a lightweight bulletproof metal matrix macrocomposite lid engineered by NASA, but it hasn't happened yet.

Does anyone have a link to the replacement pot part incase I can't
reach Grant?

The good news is that because of the panel mounted pots This isn't the
disaster it would be on a lesser made instrument. Yeah! I'll pay for
the quality this proves to anyone it's worth the extra bucks.

Grant, I will try and reach you today.
