Right on.. let's give a Frazz away hey! How should we do it? Only to people who tried it or for everybody involved?

And yeah, Jero's done awesome with this and I really appreciate all your efforts with it buddy, I know it's been lots of time. I didn't mean to say Jeromy's being fast and loose with it, I just mean we're not being really strict about time frames etc... not his fault, that's just the kinda fast and loose guy that I am.

The Elements showed up at my door this afternoon, first thoughts are holy crap there are a lot of options with this thing! I've only had a little while to play with it so far and I won't have a chance again tonight, but I'll definitely give it a more extensive workout tomorrow and try to make a demo video. Sounds killer so far, I'm looking forward to getting better acquainted with it.

Ryan, when it comes to the giveaways I would think it would make more sense to only have the people who tried out that pedal eligible. For example, I didn't sign up for the Trem or RRR tours as I already have them, so I don't think I need to be eligible to win them.

Yea we like it fast and loose...like a hotdog flying down a hallway.

I agree. The raffle for each pedal, should be for those involved in said pedal.
Now there were a few people who tested more than one, so we just need to make sure no one wins multiple times maybe? Perhaps, for those who tried multiple boxes, they can choose 1 of the pedals they'd like to be in the raffle for.

[colin]

I'm not sure that I like the idea of picking which pedal I get to be in the raffle for, to me it would make more sense that once someone wins a pedal, they are no longer eligible for the other draws. Although it would make sense to let anyone who tried out a pedal and has subsequently acquired one to opt out from that draw.

Maaaan, I wish I could win an RRR. I've played one before, hence not being on its tourbox, but it's so good! But so were tremmy and elements

[Dr. Sherman Sticks M.D.]

i feel bad i didnt have time to do a thingy when i had the RRR. i'll def whip something up when my time comes around with the Tremololololo.

(also, is it tooooo late to get a go at the elements??) really want to try that sucker

[colin]

I whipped up a quick demo of the travelling Elements today, just trying to show the amazing versatility of this thing! It gets so mean and heavy that I just had to do some palm muting and pinch harmonics, which is not exactly my normal style.

I found out after I filmed it that my amp was definitely clipping my (crappy) camera microphone, I'll try to do a slightly more hi-fi demo before I send it on to Fuzzmax, but I'm not sure that I'll have an opportunity to do so.

[Ryan]

Totally awesome, Colin, thanks! Sounds really great! What amp is that? Love the tone...

I agree dudes, let's give away pedals to people that were on the list... short list for the Frazz! I'll do that this weekend, round up the Frazz names and /random them!

[colin]

Thanks Ryan, the amp is an early to mid 70's Ampeg VT-40. I've only had it for just over a week, so I'm still tweaking the eq to get it just right.

[MaxMaps]

Buying a RRR again really makes me want an elements again and a tremeloessence.

[Ryan]

OK dudes, I did a random.org for the traveling Frazz! Only 3 contestants... pretty good odds of winning here!

*drum roll*

Congratulations to....

















Nychthemeron! Congrats Jeremy! Shoot me a pm with your address and I'll pop it in the mail for you!

Thanks again for taking part in the traveling pedals, guys!

[Nychthemeron]

Holy moly, the Trem just arrived on my doorstep a few days ago and now this news comes in?

Radical, Ryan!

[Ryan]

Congrats buddy!

[Bellyheart]

RRR touched down and I immediately made a quick demo with the pocket piano. I dig the approach to reverb. Presets with a length switch. I do like. I played a bit of guitar on it and loved all the settings. Thunderstorm came in as I twiddled with the beast as well as fireworks from the stadium nearby. 'Twas great.
