I made this one when my wife had real and urgent dif­fi­culties at work. The details are not import­ant now …

As is my wont, I imme­di­ately set out turn­ing her boss’s beha­viour into a gui­tar ped­al. I know it is strange but it’s a way of cop­ing. A pretty unique way.

Any­way, I asked Chat GPT or Google Gem­ini or who­ever it was what the four defin­ing traits of tox­ic boss beha­viour are. Turns out, there were more than four. But you have to draw a line some­where, so four it was. Four knobs.

Would­n’t that be a great band name by the way? The Four Knobs? Is there a band called the Four Knobs out there? Call me and I’ll con­grat­u­late you on your wisely chosen monik­er …

It is not a nice ped­al.
