Notes
A rare gear review from Larry….filled to the brim with brutal honesty, laughter and tears.

Special thank you to dearest James Hatem and the fine people at Roland for letting me try this cool new pedal…the RE-202.

Please note, this device has far more to offer than i glanced upon in this precursory perfunctory analysis, including a “warp” freak out mode that happens when you hold down the pedal, but i wasn’t emotionally ready to delve into all that in this video.

totally unrelated, these rug cleaning vids have at least temporarily taken the place of old NFL films in Larry's current youtube watch list https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J1EP...

If you like this channel and the weird guy who talks on it, you can throw something in the tip jar via paypal

Uncle Larry waxes rhapsodic about capstans and pinch rollers, and explores some of Japan’s proudest moments in great detail.

Not a SINGLE ONE of you out there realized that there were TWO volume 128’s of the Homeskoolin series…. even more proof that Larry needs a secretary…..secret-a-larry

Thank you guys for the kind words and kind donations….you guys really know how to make a gal feel welcome and loved.

Larry appreciates it
