    A guitarist friend of mine had a knock off version of one of these.  Instead of Altoids, it was labled, "Gallstones".  Didn't sound that good, but nobody wanted to mess with it.

    I believe Mooch mentioned your fondness for knobs.

    I imagine it to be the major source.

    It may not make your guitar playing better, but at least you'll have minty fresh breath.

    Cute - I've seen hams build 40 meter rigs in boxes that small. Amazing what can be crammed into a tiny space.

    Right on. I sneak in a 128th Am note on all CHB songs. They never even notice.

    Those Altoid tins make nice ukulele cases too.

    I'm gonna need two for my Uke Bass.

    Jules when I bought my first little Marshall I had to have stack...I
    just got hooked.
    One can buy just the "works" and make a little amp out of most anything
    that'll fit in. Fun stuff.
