Got my hustle drive today! I love it! I'll post a pic later. It sounds awesome, I jammed with it for a while this afternoon and now I gotta run off to work.

I'm not sure whether to pick up an ana-echo or re-echo, I like the idea of self-oscillation on the ana-echo but I like that the reecho has a tape mode.

My Black Secret... sounds freaking awesome. If my Pitch shift is just as likeable, I'm gonna have to order 3-4 more different ones, and make a portable pedalboard.

My Pitch Box doesn't work. Light comes on but no sound comes out at all. I'm using a standard Boss style adaptor. Any ideas?

wait, I got it. I have to have the output cable half out the socket. Odd.

Hmm, it warbles on practically every note and is only completely sympathetic to the B major chord/scale.
It can get some nice effects but its not a mainstay. If I could change the sympathetic notes to G major that would actually be amazing for my playing.

Used it at band practice today. It wasn't that bad, but this is because I was splitting my signal and running it into:
a. Cranked Bassman 50 into an enormous 60s Traynor 4x12
b. Cranked Ampeg B-25 into Marshall 4x10
This produced an effect similar to an earth quake so I couldn't hear the octave, so it was good.

Think you guys are being a little harsh on a £25 pedal - I've found at least three uses for my pitch box in songs
It's not a perfect tracker and not having adjustment over the clean/effect volumes is limiting but its a cool box.
Means I don't have to retune my jag when playing mister brightside anymore for starts

I think the transposing +1,2,3 and -1,-2,-3, are really good and track well. Other than that the +12 and -12 are useful in front of fuzz just not in polyphony.

Meh, this is a pedal that retails for £60, and at any price the criticism is the same.

No it isn't, it's rainy and fucking cold. You're a damn liar, Mike.
But srsly, it's fine. It isn't perfect, but I never expected it to be. I've had more expensive pedals with less fidelity and usefulness as this. And I really do love the modulation effect. It's nice. And it's tiny.
Maybe I'm not bothered about the polyphony and tracking issues as much because I have a POG. But I wanted this for upper octave'd, warbly solos. The POG is kind of too good for that sort of sound. This works fine.
And it's tiny.

Haha
It's still a fun little pedal, warts and all. I'm going open G tuning with the capo at 4th fret so I can get uber tracking on harmonise. Is it feasible that busting it open would reveal a dial or something to change what the sympathetic scale is?

$110 here, so fuck it. If I don't like it, I should be able to get every cent back selling it locally.
