Yeah just hit me with a PM

ThePrettyDamned · January 2015

Hopefully you have my money.

TTony · January 2015

Only some of it @ThePrettyDamned.

So far.

EricTheWeary · January 2015

Wasn't sure if to give @TTony a LOL or report him to the police. @ThePrettyDamned you might check your bed for a horse's head. :-/

Nah, I've heard he likes animals.

I'm going to be checking for damaged headstocks and threats of electrical violence to pedals, though...

But it's adding up ... you keep on at this rate, and I reckon I'll get it all eventually.

Thanks - consider yourself on @Monquixote 's list

How many people are in this now? I'm tempted, but at 9 x 2 weeks (?) plus the inevitable delays it's a bit of a slow burn to even get it to try out let alone the actual draw.

Not knocking the idea by the way, and I'm seriously considering entering even with the 5 ish month wait time. Patience was never a virtue of mine though

TTony · January 2015

@Monquixote - we should probably have a tour schedule in the first post, so that everyone can see where the pedal is, and when they might get their hands on it ...

monquixote · January 2015

Yep good idea.

It's just winging it's way to @EricTheWeary at the moment and from thence I think to @RockAndRollDave (as they are local to each other)

From there it has got 3 more planned visits so the wait time is about 10 weeks at the moment.

hobbio · January 2015

Aah, I didn't realise it had already started on it's travels.

10 weeks means I'd be getting it just after I get back from holiday.

monquixote · February 2015

Arrived safe with @Erictheweary

RocknRollDave · February 2015

Thanks to @EricTheWeary for coming out of his way to meet me on a darkened car park to exchange a padded brown envelope.

If I was hoping for something illicit - huge bag of E's, housebrick-sized lump of resin, 2lb of Thortons Special Toffee - I was disappointed.

Just some blummen' FX pedal thingy.
Ah well, shall give it a try and see what my "contact" at Crack Converters will give me for it....

TTony · March 2015

So, where's this got to in the last few weeks??

Wazmeister · March 2015

I would hazard a guess it's at Wazmeister Towers !

Apologies - it arrived at the same time as the Carr Skylark and Bearfoot Euro Tourbox

Whose next on the list...?

monquixote · March 2015

Ooops, my bad for not reminding people

It's due to go to:

@failed_astronaut and then @ThePrettyDamned

I'll PM details to you.

ThePrettyDamned · March 2015

Nice one, chap. Be interesting to see what it's like in a solid state amp.

TTony · March 2015

We should get some more sound recording demos done @wazmeister

Wazmeister · March 2015

Here at Wazmeister Towers, it's Review Central at the moment.

A new Carr Skylark, the Bearfoot Euro Tourbox and top of the list... Thorpy's little green box of joy !

So Thorpy has some stiff competition at the moment...

And you know what ? I really like this pedal...

It's strengths are a great blend of frequencies - by that I mean the bass rings out cleanly, as do the mids and treble. It sounds like a VERY powerful amp even at bedroom volumes.

And my favourite part of this is the sustain; it'll ring for ages, with great rock tones and lovely, powerful bass.

Play a 'Wont Get Fooled Again' chord and it is delightful/ Yep, I am really impressed.

The harmonics are tremendous. Lots of frequencies working together. Rare that.

Here are my favourite settings, with a bokeh Strat and Rambler hiding in the background, which were used as a totally

clean platform to review it;
