Still trying to work this one out. The post office system in Richmond is kinda weird & convoluted.
Such a cool idea! Page 3 of 4

It sort of disappeared into the labyrinthine red tape that is the Richmond, VA post office (you'd be amazed - I certainly was: it's entirely decentralized, and no branch communicates with any other branch). Supposedly if it remained unclaimed, the package should have been sent back to me on the 21st. I will try to get in touch with an actual human there again, but it's dicey. If worse comes to worse, I did insure the package, but claiming it could be difficult. I'll see if I can make any progress on this today.

The Orbit just arrived back on my doorstep! Hooray for the US Postal Service, holding tourboxes up for a full month!
At least we got it back, I suppose.
All right - Bellyheart said that he has an alternate address that's better for deliveries - I will ping him on that, and with any luck get this box back out and on the road!

It's crazy that this tourbox is such a short list and I'm third down and it's been two months I think and I've not seen it yet. DAMN YOU POST OFFICE! Glad its coming...again! Good job Jrmy

Thanks man. That was some crazy Kafka-esque stuff with the red tape. I just got back from the Providence PO, and will PM you the new tracking number pronto!

The Orbit landed in LA today. Hey, that Richmond post office...

Yeah, sorry about that. Sent it and returned to me while I was outta town. Must write better.
I'll give brief review.
I loved everything about the orbit. The only thing I would change is the gate on the fuzz, but that is probably the only way the effect can work. I'd like to hear it as just a clean effect. I was able to get some really awesome tones out of that thing with the blend mostly on the effect side. It's a real treat when you put a boost in front. I had a video recorded, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to upload it since it's on an old cell phone that no longer has service.

Man I wish I would have been in on this. I've been wanting to try an Orbit for so long.
