See if D Rok will sell you one of his for cheaper. He seems to know what's up with the percolator

I don't know if he actually sells them yet.. but he has his own PCB's... so he might hook an ILFer up. Just figure it would be worth asking. :thumb:

Nothing fancy, but I couldn't resist getting a new Rubberneck for $170 with that Pro Guitar liquidation sale. I felt a little bad taking advantage of them while they closed up shop, but I'm sure an hour with a new delay will erase my guilt.

Also got a back up DOD FX17 wah/volume/cv as a backup. I love the synthy sweep of those wahs. Plus they're always cheap.

SWEEEEET, was considering but I kinda need to pay bills and shit :picard:
Looking forward to seeing what this bad boy can do!

Yeah this won't fit into my current gear priorities, but it will definitely be the next piece of video gear I acquire. It looks awesome! Post some demos when you get it!

Officially incoming: RKM Tonal Recall. It's been one of the longest trades ever (for entirely reasonable reasons), but I am so excited to get it.

Digitech Supernatural.

I've been wanting a reverb for spacey, etherial, ambient stuff and the spring and plate settings are bonuses. The Polara didn't seem to the more extreme things and I remembered how lousy the spring was on the Dimension reverb I used to have. I'm still pondering getting a SkyFi or even trying to get a Ventris secondhand a few months from now. I'm a whore for reverb.

Get a Mercury 7. The hype is WELL deserved

I thought the Polara and Supernatural had a lot of the same stuff. Exact copies of programs, I mean.

I believe you are correct, sir. A couple of different algorithms but my understanding is the shared ones are the exact same.

Curious why you'd get two Ventris's when they're each capable of running two reverbs in the single pedal?

Holy excess, Batman! I hope you set them all up at the same time, make a hexagon with them in a large room, then sit in the middle while they're all running different effects.

The build quality is beyond solid, and the army green finish adds just the right amount of "hoss" to just about any board, but there are more affordable and feature-laden perc variants out there. Still, the combo of transistors that Land Devices chose interacts magically as a boost for almost all Muff-type fuzzes and seriously brings the doom.

It was only $50 on Reverb which seems pretty cheap still. I do usually see them going for a little more, but not much. Built like little tanks they are though.

What did you do to mod them? I've thought about making those trim pots a little easier to access.
