Selling to the tattoo market I see. No reason it couldn't be used for gee-tar amps. Well, might have to change the switch itself from momentary to toggle action.

Haven't we seen something like this before, big, red, and with a EASY printed in big letters across the top? I'll take one in chrome, with PANIC on it.

"The round design is best for access from any angle and presents a simple design for less confusion." I can think of a couple guitarists who could benefit from that. :razz: :lol:

Hell you don't even need anesthetic. Just hit em with a dose of ether they will be good :twisted:

hahaha this thread is awesome! lots of laughs to be had :lol:

i bet the switch is only momentary, normally off, considering its intended use in tattooing, press the button and the tattoo machine does its thing until you release the pressure on the switch, tattoo machine turns off...

maybe you could change out the switch with a latching type. that WOULD be freakin awesome!!

teh toanez is in the pedal, obvi bro

The denizens of local tat shops are already pretty well anesthetized - alcohol, coke, smack, etc. They "love" to have needles stuck in 'em. Those looking to score, know where to go. And of course the dope cops look the other way as long as Dunkin' Donuts is open - 24 hours a day. Funny thing about that.... double triple :twisted:

1: "I'm not pretty enough" Believe it or not, that's the thought process. Also "I display my pain."

2: Got drunk/zonked/both & woke up like that. How many guys has that happened to? Gals too....

Local "community day" town parties, all sorts of businesses showing off their wares. The tat shops circulate their "beauties" in bikinis, tats all over. Crikeys, they look like airplane crash victims covered with scars and deep red/purple/blue bruises. Yeccchhh.... phooey. :evil: And knowing what goes on "behind the scenes" at the tat shop - needles but not with ink - not attractive at all.

I enjoy seeing some well-done tattoo work but also think it's not the brightest thing to do, to inject mystery chemicals. One of my best customers was an IBM graphics software expert who moonlighted as a tat artist. Of course he was paved with tattoos himself. Dead at 53 from pancreatic cancer. Might be a connection? Ya think?
