Some things are just unreliable. The input jack of the amp you see above gave way after I unplugged the cable. The entire unit just caved in. A closer look revealed a worn thread, the washer & nut simply couldn't stay put to keep things in place. Granted the amp was still functional, using it was bothersome.
Nux's Drive Force- it's supposed to be one of my most reliable pedal for a no nonsense performance but yesterday, it decided to quit. The pedal kept re-booting itself after a few minutes or so, despite a fresh replacement battery in use. When I brought it home, it manifested the same issue while running on PSU. Like the saying goes- all good things must come to an end.
Putting things in perspective, the Epi amp you see here is my cheap office gear. It was in 5/10 condition when I bought it for $30 😁 We shouldn't put too much trust into stuff that are on the verge of expiry, yes? The Drive Force is also an office standby. The thing with digital products- there is a tendency to implode & it's all about the software.
