progrockabuse, how do you like the polytune?

it's taken me a while to get used to it, but i really like it. the display is great and adjusts to how light or dark the stage is. smaller than my old tu-2 and less noisy. i thought i was faulty, as it was buzzing inline with other pedals, but that turned out to be a problem with my power supply. i'd recommend one, there not that expensive for so much tuner. i do still forget it's polyphonic sometimes, but it don't matter, it's fast and accurate at switching between poly/mono modes.

How is that pickup?

I really like it, loads of volume and punch, a complete world away from the stock pup it had. I should really put a meter on it and check it's output.

so i've gone back to my first pedal days and got me one of these.

bloody great wah sound, better than my old crybaby was. plus it's bling. did an exchange with the company i got the micro chorus from. dead friendly and kept me up to date. i think that and my cool cat drive will make a nice little gig board.

Tell me it wasn't a straight swap, Rob, or I'll have to phone them like an angry parent...

Nice wahs, though - I've got an older one like it. Iffy bypass, mind.

Nope, don't worry. Got pics and shizzle to compensate. Don't know why I haven't tried vox before, great looking pedal. Go chrome!

£20 worth of plectrums, one would hope?

Well the Micro chorus was £71 and the wah £68

Did the same chap offer you beans for the family cow?

I just didn't want the hassle of refunds and re ordering from another company.

My one man band rig, I can loop the guitar and play organ/drums/sing all at once

FUCK YEAH, I doubt my missus would let me set up my rig in the bedroom though!

Please do this next time. You just threw away money in what amounts to laziness.

As a consumer you have the right to ask for your money back. Do so.

pedalboard + BT Jazzmaster:


Closer shot of the pedalboard. Pedals in order of the chain: OD-3, You Dirty Rat, BF-2, VP1, CS9, VD400, Nova Reapter, Bluemonster Woof! boost:

The rack. Top to bottom: Digitech RDS-1900, Roland SDE-330, Lexicon LXP-15 II, and Sony DPS-V55. The Ensoniq ESQ-m is just on loan from a friend.


I have the Repeater going into the SDE-330 (delay) and then daisychaining the racks and then back out to the booster and then to the amp. The racks effects are all holdovers from when I was using them with synths and a sampler. I use them now primarily for reverbs, delays, and pitchshifting.

I have the same BF-2 Flanger. When did you pickup the BT Jazzmaster? I knew you were looking for one. Did you play in a store or just order online? I think the black with Mint pickguard looks awesome.

My god I'm stupidly tempted to get a blacktop jm and put a p-rail in there fuuuuuuck
