Whenev­er I feel depressed, I take out my old Fend­er Tele­caster gui­tar, con­nect it to one of my old 70s phaser ped­als and plug into my little Orange amp that’s so amaz­ingly loud for its size.

Then I notice that I left the bat­tery inside the ped­al when I last used it, usu­ally more than a year ago. When try­ing to get it out I then break the sol­der­ing and the wires and put the whole mess back into its box.

Thank­fully I do not feel depressed too often.
