On par with The Adventures of Mixerman ^^^.

The issue was, different pedals will flip your phase. So sometimes in the middle of a song, amp 3 would be 180 out form the other 2, then 2 would go in phase with 3, and 1 was out, then they all would be back in phase. I had to keep my ears on a swivel the whole time and cut and flip phase on portions of the tracks every time he hit his stupid switches. Add to this the bass player came in with a 70% is good enough but only played 56%, and it became one of the worst projects I've ever worked on. Crap.
I enjoy these kind of anecdotes, not so much because they're schadenfreude fodder, but because they make me feel quietly relieved not be involved in a convoluted production. Like paging through that book The Worst Gig, which makes leading a simple life seem pretty pretty pretty good.
