Proggie, your pedals are in the post 1st class. You should have them tomorrow.

Benecol, your RAT's LM308N has arrived. I'll install it tonight, demo it over the weekend and get it in the post to you on Monday. PM me your address boyo.

Dan, your case is primed, painted, decal'd and lacquered and now curing. I need to hop to Maplin first thing tomorrow and get you a Blue LED. Should be able to build this weekend and get it out to you on Monday too.

The Saltbooster arrived! I think..

No one was in to collect it so it has been returned to the Royal Mail place

Bastard postmen, the smart ones just leave stuff in the recycling box for us. But it's definately the pedal, I'm not waiting for any other post. So, thanks! I ordered other pedals from a website the day before I asked you for the saltbooster. Turns out you built the whole pedal and got it to me before they did! Extra Kudos!

I WANT IT BAD NOW THOUGH. ROYAL MAIL HATE.

I have ordered loads in the last week actually.. I have the satbooster, behringer dd400 and a reverb pedal, the 69 RI Mustang.. Gonna be a whole new gear set up!

Blimey, all sorts of fun stuff. Where did you get the Mustang from, ebay?

Got in on here! Classifieds section, from Paul_Ray.

yeah, I just read- nice score!

The Rat has landed: it's absolutely ace; mad props to James for selling it in the first place, and Mike for his modz. Sounds great, had forgotten how lovely a Rat can be, and how close to a fuzz it can get. The Reutz mod loses some of the hair in return for loads more bottom, and the LEDs change the way the distortion pot works, and are loud as fuck. Really great pedal, thanks Mike.

Sweet as a nut, glad you're enjoying it mate. Those mods are fun to do.

USPS one time did the whole "leave it at the post office cuz nobodies home" crap a few months ago, but the guy didnt write anything on the little yellow ticket besides our address, so when we took it to the PO the lady disappeared for like 20 minutes and then came back and was like "i can't find it. the new guy didnt write the number, see?"

i wish that a competitor would just become the new leader, and the PS would have to become actually competitive and step up their game, because that kind of laziness is just bullshit. they basically stole our book.

well, the recycling box is kept next to the front door. but on collection days its moved to the street with all the other houses boxes... The guys who collect them are so lazy that unless you leave the box on the pavement they wont get it, even if they can see it in your front garden. So, its pretty safe in the box by the door.
