I wasn't digging it and he said he would send me another fuzz pedal but I just wanted the money. So I sent back the creepy fingers and he never sent any money back or a fuzz pedal. Fortunately, I sold the arc effects for 100 on the bay. But still :mad: ! I didn't lose my faith in ILF but I guess i was blindly put my faith in BTF.


That's stereotypical for him, I mainly remember him always trying to offer me like the same 2 40$ pedals in trade for anything i posted up in the BST, and he just didn't seem to understand the word No.... :picard:

Exactly, seems he deleted almost all of his threads before leaving including all the BST threads mentioning the head.

Alex the only thing I could find was when he had a fuse issue -> http://www.ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=151&t=15248&hilit=marshall

I also know when BTF went down in flames around here he burnt Mark on a $700 trade deal. Shitty.


Yeah BTF got super shady there before he eventually burned out. I don't remember exactly what happened, but i remember the build up to it.



Word. Probably just a fluke and EHX pre amp tubes like to die on me.

its really hard to kill a preamp tube under normal operating conditions. Unless you mechanically vibrate it to death or crack the glass on it breaking the vacuum its most likely not going to break

true, or there just happens to be a bad batch of EHX 12ax7s that my tubes came from which is possible.

Hey dude is that the AOR series Laney 50? I have a chance to grab one of those real cheap but I can't decide on it.

I also say jump on the AOR 50 watt!! I have the 8 knob version and it is freaking awesome for the price. It is a hot rodded marshal that takes pedals extremely well and is FREAKING loud. My buddy picked up the AOR 100 watt 6 knobber and I kind of like it more than mine - it sounds more 80's to my ear. Which version of the AOR is it you are looking at and how much?
Fuzz, reverb, delay.

Hey dudes I bit it! I couldn't help it. Its the one that says protube lead, 6 knob, AOR 50 it was listed under. I got it for $240. Which compared to ebays sold listings seems like a pretty awesome price! So excited to get this! Thanks again.
