Since I got married in august I haven't been so active here on the forum, but that does not mean I haven't thought on pedals.  But you could say that my collecting is at pause.
But today I got this fantastic textmessage to my cellphone. A friend of mine, actually it is the father to a friend of mine, knew that I was collecting and we talked about that a few years ago and he found that sort of collecting a bit "odd"
But he said that "I think I got one of those old pedals which I bought for my keyboard in the early 80's.. I think it was red, but I do not know where it is right now, I could hav sold it.."
And today a few years later I got this text "Hi!, I found an old Bosspedal, it's called Spectrum. Are you looking for that?"
And I got this strange feeling that you get sometimes and answered "Yes, I've been looking for it for a few years now and I really want to buy it if you want to sell it.."
And he answered "No, you can have it, as a delayed christmas gift.."
That is more strange than last week when me and my wife got home after a few days of christmas celebrations with her family and finds a large present inside our apartment with a keyboard, an audio-card and pro tools.. odd.. |

Wow   
I don't think that you could possibly give a Boss collector a better Christmas present. That's awesome, Congratulations!

What are the odds that something like that happens?  |

That's a great story. |

Congrats Gustav
I can imagine how glad you must have been, and I suppose it gave your collecting "nerves" a kick.
