woohoo its here!!!!

Great. I look forward to hearing your review through your Louis @wellsyboy ;; Especially if you are using a wireless set up as I am. I'm concerned that I may have a problem if I did.

That goes for anyone else trying it through a wireless system . Do share to put my mind at rest

EDIT: Makes me think that maybe I should go back to being wired again rather than wireless

I'm reliably informed by the boys at line 6 , the relay shows the correct impedance to germanium fuzzes 
I'll let you know if Adrian gets out of bed and finishes mine

@wellsyboy how you finding your Veteran?

I'll probably get taken off this forum for saying this but I haven't even opened it yet!!!! Won't get a chance to play it until weekend but I am so smitten by the box and the cute sticker I am not sure I want to break the seal 
will report back

Got mine Tuesday and was lucky enough to have 2 band practices this week so tried using it on as many songs as I could get away with.

Anyway, it sounds amazing as you would expect but I must say I enjoyed the boost more than I thought. It does a great job kranking the amp to the edge of breakup and some if you so wish and giving a solo that extra oomph.
As for the fuzz (my 1st btw), I couldn't help but go full on Jimi with it on a few occasions. That said, there's also some lovely, less fuzzy sounds in there too. I shall be happily twiddling dials for some time!

Oh and the packaging is rather nice too!

No. 069 has just been delivered

However, I need to get some orders done before I head to work, and I'm out tomorrow, so I won't get to try it until Thursday :-/

I'll be interested in hearing what it sounds like through your wireless system @Wazmeister

I didn't say it was 'special' mate - other than it looks like a LTD edition classic !

Anyone else had chance to try theirs yet?       I had a little bit of time this afternoon so gave it a blast - there's a plenty of volume boost available but I'm not getting anywhere near the gain and amount of fuzz as I expected  (I was running straight into it with a prs cu24 into a fender twin and bogner mojado so fairly hot pickups but lots of amp headroom)    Anything I'm missing with the settings?   Taking the smooth or bias to less than half and it's very clean but that could be normal and I just have to turn them right up?

So the original fuzz face setting has the smooth all the way on. Fuzz at around 2oclock, bias around 2 and volume to taste. Smooth is used to remove some of the flubbines of the fuzz face style circuit. This it does by adjusting the input impedance. The side effect of this is that it cleans the fuzz up a touch. 

So when the fuzz side is on dial smooth off to taste. And when combined with the boost side, it'll be a LOT more aggressive.

Ok, so...

The Veteran has arrived (at work), so tonight will be the opening night !!!

Branshen

Nice waz, can't wait for impressions!

Absolutely no problems whatsoever from the G10 wireless mate... and my Masterbuilt Strat is as noisy and as sensitive as can be....
