Bah... I just received an email saying that my DHL shipped one was shipped and returned due to an "invalid address"... fml. I replied stating that if they can send it EMS to my PO Box, that'll work fine...
...edit, they're gonna send it EMS.

How long did it take from the time you guys received your tracking number until you could actually track the progress of the package? Received my tracking # 2 days ago, but it's not showing up on SingPost yet.

A few days.
So mine have arrived in Exeter! Hooray! Unfortunately I am in Beijing...
Couldn't get them shipped here - combination of them not actually shipping to China, and my Paypal address only being verified against my UK address.
I went for DHL so that they would get there in time for Ceri's Mum to come and visit at the end of the month so will get them then.
Somewhat anticlimactic pedal arrival, only 10 more days to wait.

Just checked on mine... it cleared customs in NYC yesterday... that means if all goes well, it'll be in my hands sometime next week.

Got the pitch shift today... its kinda shit. I was expecting like a 12 string effect at the +12. You can't play chords without a gross out of tune effect on the harmony mode. Octave settings are out... The ones close to 0, (+1,+2,+3 etc) are good but I won't use those.
The Chorus effect sounds decent.
Bummer.

So far I've gotten use out of the -12 setting in front of dirt. The +12 setting just is meh.
Maybe others will have different thoughts but it sounds like a ukulele out of tune to me.

It's been six days since I received my tracking info and it still doesn't show anything as being received with the shipper.

While you're there, remember to tell the post office to stop being shiftless cunts and resume mailing things to people sometime soon.

When I hold it up to my ear, it's not making any sound, but that might be because I'm in work miles away from a guitar/bass, amp, leads etc.

Mine came in yesterday too. Haven't had a chance to test it with anything other than a crappy mini amp, but it sounds okay. Tracking isn't great (I'm very much spoiled by my POG, though) but good enough. The "harmonise" settings seem a bit iffy, but straight octaves/pitch-shifting is fine and I really liked the modulation setting.
And it's fucking tiny. I'd happily have a board made up of these things.
Although max ma draw is 130 according to the instruction leaflet, so I think that means I can't daisy chain it.

You can daisy chain it fine if you have a decent supply. My Powerstation and Johnnyshredfreak both output 1300mA.
I'm not expecting it to be perfect for £25. It'll be more for daftness and adding some FLAVA to future tunes.

I'm all about the Flava, I have POG2 for mad tracking n
skills. If this makes some new interesting or horrible sounds that's all good to me.

People are very happy with these for double the price we paid. I'm quietly confident of its abilities.
As with all octave tracking, neck pickups and woman tone are always helpful.

My Black Secret arrived today Haven't had a chance to test it out yet - was running late back to work from lunch. My Pitch Shift should be here hopefully by Friday.

MarcMart can't track my package because the delivery can't. So, they said in an e-mail that I'll get a new shipment and they will get credit from the delivery company. At this point, I'll feel lucky if I get it.
