If I wasn't crippled by my back at the moment I'd be jumping around with joy.
@Antique_Guitars I'll pm you my address.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
It was only when I opened the packaging and saw an EHX logo that the penny dropped!

Thanks again for the votes - I now have a new toy to play with.

From the SoundCloud notes .....
"This pedal arrived in the post yesterday and I got to try it out for the first time this afternoon. It's probably not a pedal I would ever have paid much attention to but I recieved this as a prize for winning the July Composition Challenge on The Fretboard forum.
After winning this - but before it arrived - I looked it up on the internet and the consensus of what little user feedback I found could be summed up as "Worst. Pedal. Ever!". Hmmmm. You don't want to listen to the internet, though.
Described as a 'treble booster', the EHX Screaming Bird boosts level, cuts bass and boosts upper midrange frequencies. In many ways it's like a static wah pedal and clean boost combined in one small pedal. I was particularly amused that one section of the instruction sheet is headed 'Theory of Operation'.
On this track, both the skinny funk rhythm and lead guitar utilise the Screaming Bird (in addition to the rest of my pedalboard, of course).
It may officially be named the 'Screaming Bird' but, to me, it will henceforth be dubbed 'The Moustache' - there's a definite hint of Frank about this one. It may not go permanently onto my board but it'll definitely see occasional use on recordings. I like it. "
