Oh USPS why must a package going from Ft. Wayne IN to a Chicago suburb near O’Hare airport go through Arizona?

@CanisPundit I live one town away from Litchfield Park and I can't tell you one reason why...no waterway, no interstate, no rail line, no airport, nothing. Part of it is north of Indian School Rd, by Jackrabbit Rd. I'm pretty sure the UPS or FedEx they might be referring to are hubs in Goodyear addresses, but that still doesn't explain why they'd be here, on this side of the Mississippi.

@CanisPundit looked up UPS and FedEx in Litchfield Park. UPS has Zero outlets there, and FedEx has 2 store outlets not far from each other. They both have trucking yards off the 303, but again they're in Goodyear.
Sorry, nothing makes sense.

@RJMay3 it is USPS going from Indiana to Illinois, less than 200 miles from depo to destination.

@CanisPundit USPS uses other companies in between...I've seen it often for things like eBay.

It crossed the Mississippi...why?

@CanisPundit

Sweetwater ships from a half-dozen different points in the US. "Shipping Label Created" often means "Order Received and Turfed Off to the Shipping Location"

Your Ernie Ball Super Slinky's were most likely shipped from Litchfield Park.

@countZZero now that is a sensible answer. However, the item was manufactured China so a coastal port would make sense. But point taken. FYI: a reverb pedal for a grab and go powered pedal board I’ll build. Current draft:

@CanisPundit

Butterscotch Telecaster -> Pigtronix Moon Pool -> Fulltone OCD v2 -> Supro Supreme

@CanisPundit I've had it five years or so... only had six strings on it for maybe 6 months of that time. Keefish for sure. The Supro too.

@countZZero I could’ve sworn you had a Bailiwick instead of a wheelhouse.

Some other sources of loudness, watch for my episode of Hoarders.

@CanisPundit Wow that's quite a lineup. I played a Zephyr at CME years ago. VERY WARM tone.

@countZZero while the variety is fun, Im going to thin the herd. The Epiphone 75th Anniversary is going on the block. The Fillmore 25 too if my kid doesn't get serious about learning guitar. I could almost part with the Mark III red stripe to fund some amazing acoustic.

@CanisPundit I'd like the Filmore, but I have a Blues Junior too. A third amp, even one like the Filmore 25, would be impolite.

@countZZero the 6V6 power section, 3 gain modes, frequency content, and two channels set the Fillmore well apart from a Blues Jr.; a Swiss Army knife as opposed to a Buck knife. Not a value judgment. Whatever works. The Fender Supersonic 22 was a strong contender before I closed on the Mesa.
