An incoming pedal day of EPIC proportions

[Aceman]

And the pedal is not even the coolest thing about it!

Hopefully this weekend. The purchase(s) have been made, the offers accepted...no it is just a matter of time.

And I'm already working on what amp/channel for the clips...

This is another of those once-in-a-lifer moments.

This better not be another one of those pedals that makes your volume go up ↑ and down ↓

What if it was a Prescription Electronics Throb?

What if it was an Arizona Tea TR2?

What if it were TWO Diaz Tremodillos?

What if it were a Revival or chase Bliss pedal?

But it is not ANY of those things. And it is far more than just a pedal. It is - dare I say - a HOLY GRAIL of tone!!!!

Dont Iceman us, Aceman

 

[Mincer]

Well...

 

[Securb]

If I know Aceman, and I do know Aceman this is going to end up being some plastic pedal from the 80s he found on eBay for $10

Dont Iceman us, Aceman

Have I EVER!?!?!?!?! No...and I don't intend to start.

The only thing that could possibly mess this up is tubes. That's right, I said tubes, as in plural.

FYI - desk guitar of the week is my Ibanez PS120 Iceman.

 

[Aceman]

Well...

The item has shipped - both items, actually. It's complicated...

I said epic, and I meant it.

But god help me I love a $10 plastic bay pedal too!!!!

Everything is in Transit!!!!!

Part A here Wednesday. Part B by Thursday or Friday maybe?!?!?!?!

Very exciting!

A pedal, with two parts, that uses tubes? Is that like an old RotoVibe or something?

It's complicated. Sort of. But not really. But maybe. What might I do with a Rotovibe, just since you brought it up...

I am guessing a pedal and an EXP pedal, or it is vintage with a weird power supply that had to be found and purchased separately.

Or maybe something else altogether. Except, obviously not all together. Because two separate items shipping. Of course one could be tubes.

If he buys another vibe pedal, he needs to find a therapist.

 

[Aceman]

I don't talk about Hendrix often, but he definitely was one of my early inspirations/heroes. Never tried to cop his style though...

I need a Vibe like I need a hole in the head.

And I'll say this now - it is NOT a Tremolo pedal.

So you finally broke down and bought a Metalzone.

So you finally broke down and bought a Metalzone.

And it comes in two packages with tubes because?

FYI: I have TWO Metalzones!
