Of noted - bbe Mind Bender for $80. I really love the idea of a trem and chorus in one box. If I don't get one of these I may pester mike to make me one.




The BBe two timer is like $88.

More deals here:

I thought the same thing. I just got done building an analog chorus and trem in one. It has a knob to blend into the trem instead of a switch. It's very nice right in the middle where there is just a little bit of trem blended in.

I'll try to record something in the next few days. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm working on making it stereo also. Mono in and stereo out.

It's true vibrato, not tremolo/Fender's "vibrato".

Had I not just dropped like $200 bucks on records at interpunk, I'd probably buy one.

Instead I'll try and make Mike man up and build me something better. ;)

Here is a very quick sound clip I just did. I tried to record it in stereo so you can hear the back and forth of the tremolo but I don't think that worked out too well. It may have. My computer speakers are really close together so I can't really tell. It's a big file and may take a little bit. I'll get a YouTube video up once it's all done.

Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings, but they'll only ship these within the US. I know because I've tried. Soz Rob.

SHWA!?!?!

I've sent plenty of stuff across the pond that weighed more than that and didn't cost that much!

Usually for a pedal it comes out to somewhere between 15-30 from USPS. at least in my experience.

I ship pedals overseas alot and it should only be about $15-20.
$50-100 has to be an overnight or 2 day service. That's way too much.

i told the guy i had shipped several things through UPS overseas for around $20, and he said "not from here you haven't." sooooooo, i'm going to hang on to it until after the new year and see if i can get it done for less. it was for basic international shipping, whatever that entails.

I think the cheap meathod is called USPS Internation Freight or something. It sounds like you were, or they were trying to get you to, shipping priority. Fuck that noise.
