yeah. my thing is that i'm absolutely terrified of other people. when i'm in a group of folks i don't know and nobody there talks to me, i'll just shrink into a corner and quietly hide. on the other hand, if i know someone, i'm an open book with well-thumbed pages, as Lemmy once sang.

Nah, it was before I was heavy into electronics like I am now and I gutted it for the reverb tank for whatever reason. Kept blowing fuses and I figured I'd probably spend more fixing it than I bought it for haha

Ah, I see. Yeah, there's a lot of sweet shit that I've passed up on because I didn't know anything about electronics before. Like, that JC-60 I blew up with a sparkler bomb. :facepalm: Wish I didn't do that because I'm pretty sure I could fix it easy, now.

Agreed. Most have given up on that pedal, including myself. I don't think we'll ever see it in shops. And to be honest, do we really want to after so much time has passed? It's an awesome idea for a pedal but more and more companies are releasing similar ideas. When it's finally released it won't be 'cutting edge' any more and will be just another delay in an already saturated market.

For the record, Sweetwater is officially my favorite online dealer. Such good customer service.

Prepare to be annoyed by the oversized, unmovable straight jack.

shit. not caring makes me cool doesn't it?

unless i know that.

then it doesn't.

fuck.

i'm confused.

It's never ending vicious cycle.

I've moved a ton of gear recently, hard to remember it all. Still trying to sell an amp I don't need anymore, been trying to sell for 2 months. I know that's not a terribly long time but I want money for something I can use!

I've been trying to sell gear in Ireland for over a year. It's insane. Pedals sell easily because they can be shipped all over the country for €6 and aren't as much of a blind commitment as a guitar or amp.

The expression pedal came in today and I can't say I really mind the straight plug. If I really wanted to, I could easily add an output jack on it. I find it unnecessary though, finding a stereo cable is hard enough as is. I'm happy with it.

With the tone knob, I thought it might be able to get into e600d/e600b territory... but you're right about there being better stuff out there now. I'm most interested in the delays that ss/bs and blackout are cooking up.

Speaking of the e600d, I saw this on the malekko fb page. It's supposed to sound like it...

I LOVE my E600D. Wondering how that new 616 compares.

Have you tried a 900 before? My friend had one and it sucked. Hard! No bass, no thickness, no bite, just sounded god awful and that was compared to a 2000 that kinda sucked anyway. He returned it and got an 800 which sounds pretty nice.
