I don't know why they called it Brown. Fucking Danish.

Mike, you are a god amongst men - cheers for that! Middle two modes are more for stereo setups, as far as I can gather (from what I can glean from the oh-so confusing manual online) - this little feller'll be staying mainly in "Chop" mode, I reckon - sounds like it can get even more seasick sounding than my EQD Hummingbird, which I traded away a while back.

Thanks also to Mickie - really looking forward to getting it, these are rare as hen's teeth in the UK, and I've been wanting one for years now.

Great demos as always Mike, that gig fx is nuts! Are you going to demo the OCD as well?

Can you make the pedal control the Depth? Or does the pedal only cotrol either the speed or the combo of the two?

The chopper is a Cool pedal.... Did you try the stereo setting???

And it's mine, you hear me, mine! Can't wait to get it, I love trem pedals, and the treadle just makes it the best pedal ever, IMO.

Dave - the treadle can only control the rate of each setting - with the two weirdy stereo modes you can set the rate of the square wave manually, and use your foot to control the round wave, or vice versa. Or something. Info here if you're really interested. Can't wait to get it.

I don't have two amps so I couldn't do the stereo options unless I DI'd it. I doubt I'll have time but if I do, then I'll see if I can do a brief Guitar Rig based stereo demo.

Yes, an OCD full demo will be coming soon. It's a lovely sounding overdrive pedal. Thanks for checking them out.

No worries, I forgot to work out Ruby again though. I used to know it. I'll try and break it out for the OCD.

Probably. I'm an idiot you see.

I believe they are actually a licensed division of TC Electronics. They're Danish also and they make the exact same pedals as TC under different names.

that chopper sounds cool, though the blend setting seem kinda useless to me.
also, a big, nasty spider just ran across my wall and managed to evade my squashing attempts.

I don't think I demo'd that very well at all. I didn't have much time with the pedals since I want to send it to benecol on Monday and had to take my kitten to the vet last night.
