All the analogcels screeching that they can’t get their germanium diodes
RIP boutique fuzz pedal industry
Oh no, we'll have to get the same shit but 3000 dollars cheaper from AliExpress
I’ve got three diodes. About to list them on Reverb for like $5k each.

Don't worry, all those dentists will still have their Harley Davidson motorcycles to spend their money on.
BRB, about to buy all the tubes I can (like five) to sell to desperate tube-o-philes as I crank my digital amp
