    Its also possible to eradicate the flies by setting a Marshall on 5-6 and play some AC/DC riffs.. Watch the fall down from the sky.....dead!
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    That was a 11+ hour hunt. You must have patients Mark. I hope your wife did not see you massacre the varmint. My wife would have desanitized the complete kitchen, with me helping. Sometimes a man's good deeds must go un-notice.

    Mark Twain was at an eatery once, and he asked for a fly swatter.. he quipped that the bugger had been relentlessly bothering him since he got there.

    A waiter came over in good enough spirits and said 'there he is sir' as he pointed to a fly on another table. At which point Twain said 'no, he's fine, that is not the fly that has been bugging me...

    True nuff..

    A fly actually sense your intent. They are receptive to the waves of energy that your brain puts out. If you think about a lovely flower just before you go to swat you will get them every time. They will be fooled.
