Re: Let's see those pedalboards!

Cool guitar. Them pointy-ended things have always been like an alien concept to my telecaster-lovin' self, but recently ive developed a hankering to have something flat-boarded and lockable everywhere with a real man's whammy on it. And it looks pretty high quality too

Re: Switch pop

Same deal with the battery. Its not so much a "pop" as it is like the sound of a stylus dropping onto a record and finding its groove, more of a click

Re: Switch pop

I might have to try a battery in it (I have had it on a Cioks power supply, and a wall wart) quote: "I bought and sold this pedal 3 times. I can't live without it. In some instances it will have an apparent volume jump. Can be annoyting and rig dependant. It certainly has a phasey chorus thing going...

Re: Electrolytic capacitors - a perspective

My 30 year old Blues Deluxe is in for a major 100,000 km service at the moment. My guy said the capacitors still are all good and not leaking but that it can only be a matter of time.
