In all honesty I think they brilliant stuff.

Far too expensive though. Those prices are for mugs.

Â£242 and Â£59 for a "favourite switch" (a jack in a BOX)

You try finding one, sweetheart; been on my saved search for over a year now. Also, clearly, I did not pay that much. Now make me a favourite switch. Please. After I've done those decals...

KARMIC RESPONSE AHOY as I get a phone call from the garage telling me service + repairs on the Mini sum to a total that makes an El Capistan look like a fucking penny sweet.

Would any old footswitch work?

Post by **Mike** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 1:11 pm

yup

Only needs a latching footswitch of any type, a Jack and an LED

You ordered your Mastery Vibrato yet?

Actually, I probably shouldn't talk as I know I will end up getting one of those Strymon reverbs at some point. It's just whether I go for the really expensive one or the really really expensive one. Fuck of a lot for a pedals but they sound fantastic on the demos I've heard.

Nels Cline would NEVER besmirch his offsets by having a really useful way to do drop D tuning on the fly. Metal??? These offset ladies are for REAL music and a mastery is like fine lingerie. She play so buttery under my chocolate fingers.

Eh? The tremloc button's never worked like that, n00b.

While I bemoan the lack of a tremloc button (I use it as a constant when setting the trem up), I don't think the production models look bad (the prototype did). I can't see why you'd use one, unless to maybe upgrade a MIJ one (never been a fan) or on a new build, mind.

All you need now is a Gold Horsie Klon pedal and you'll be set.

Ahem. I've had one (a clone, at least).

The big sky sounds beautiful. Reverb has a giveaway for one. The chance of winning one is tiny but its free to enter so why not?

Maybe you need that Dumbloid pedal you are always going on and on about?
