I aim to please! And I'm glad you're enjoying it - but given your tastes it was almost a given. And I agree with 100% of your observations. Who knows, you might even like it with distortion! PS: Make sure to try it both before the amp and in the loop.

No shame, I just really look forward to hearing your thoughts. Pray keep us updated!

Let me try again: did you get around to trying this out for real yet, Ace? If so, what are your thoughts?

Pickups handwired by Tony Blair? That video is showing its age!

They both sound a little fuller and richer to my ears than the next version. The rack version also allows for more combinations. I have heard but never owned the rack version; I sold the original pedal, as the limited headroom was too obvious on cleans. Correct. And given my statement above, I...

Dimension C/D: rack original if you can pay for it, pedal original if you can live with the headroom problems, reissue otherwise.

I don't think I did. It is currently hidden under several strata of stuff moved back and forth from my parents' house, but I'll see if I can find it the next time I am there.

Did you have the opportunity to try this properly yet, Aceman? I'm really looking forward to hearing your opinion!

I still have the Watson, and this might be as good a place as any to ask: is there some sort of preamp that is supposed to go along with it? Mine is very weak. I asked Jeff about it, and he said that he had no idea, but he recalled them being very loud and compressed, which suggests a preamp...

As far as stereo rock rigs go, I think this is one of the casualties of racks going extinct. With a rack setup, stereo (or rather wet-dry) is a breeze; with one or more heads it is kind of a pain.

I predict you are going to end up with the latter. I own the HX Effects, and my experience has been that the Dimension effect in it *REALLY* doesn't compare to the real deal. I wish it did (then I could be finished with pedals once and for all), but it doesn't.

Congratulations! I have two of these. Unless I am looking for something very overt, these are my go-to choruses, and the one chorus I am comfortable simply leaving on: it somehow seems to do exactly what I want from it at all different levels of distortion.

Mine didn't feel overly hot, but it has been a while since I had it in a guitar. I know that Warren combines it with a Quarter Pounder in the neck, which might give some indication of what kind of combo that would be appropriate.

An extravagance! :-D

Yeah, for your repertoire, this rig will do the trick for 95% of the distorted tones.
