Hey just wondering, did you assemble that Strat? Really interesting paint job on it! (btw, this video sold me on the Box of Rock, haha)

@RuecianG Hey thanks for watching man! Hope you've been as happy with the BOR as I've been. Funny about your strat paint job comment. It's actually the product of a really bored Saturday sanding down the Candy Apple Red finish to see what was underneath with aspirations of a repaint. Suffice it to say, I stopped after 8 hours of sanding and have never picked up the job. I've gotten more comments on it this way than ever before.

@stratoslear Yeah I went ahead and bought a BoR for rock tones and a Lovepedal Kalamazoo for overdrive (but I realized it does high gain incredibly well). They sound really, really similar at high gain levels out of my Deluxe Reverb. I think the Box of Rock sounds little better to my ear for the low end (the 5th position as well as notes in lower registers in general), and the Kalamazoo warms high, more trebley sounds a little better. I'm at a loss as to which I'm going to keep, haha.
