See if the harmonium man Thomann has it.

Re: Arion tubulator

Så vidt jeg kan se er den ikke hos thomann, desværre..Det er lidt irriterende man ikke kan finde sådanne varer herhjemme til samme pris..Alt vores skide moms og fandens pumpestok.

I got mine last week, they are extremely killer OD pedals!

Re: Arion tubulator

You can't get them for $13 Sune? How much did Kafimann spend then? Same general region of the world right? Are import duties not similar too?

The problem is that the tax office can take the package and claim money from me, because it's from a non EU country, and that's a risk you have to take I guess, if you want it from the states. I don't know the Norwegian rules on that matter.. It doesn't seem like the company - Arion - imports to Europe :smack:

Re: Arion tubulator

How much can they claim on a $13 dollar pedal?

 

[Sune]

Re: Arion tubulator

Well, I don't know exactly, they have different percentage claims for different products.. But when I got one of my guitars from the states, I think it was close to like 39%, I'm not totally sure but it was very expensive.

Re: Arion tubulator

But I guess, with postal fee's, etc. it would still be cheaper than buying something that is considered a 'cheap' pedal here... I think the amount has to be higher before they demand you to pay tax on it too, so maybe I should look into this after all.

Re: Arion tubulator

So instead of $13, were talking $18.07. Still not too much to worry about is it?

I guess not, I don't think they would take it though..the amount is too little I guess. What site did you and kaffimann buy it off? I can't find the thread..

Cool, thanks. Is there a power adapter included with it?? or do you just have to use batteries?? what about a cable??

 

[Sune]

Re: Arion tubulator

Can I use it as a boost without it colouring the sound?

 

[Gr8Scott]

Re: Arion tubulator

It will slightly change the sound. Adds a light amount of sizzle (distortion) and a touch of midrange with the gain all the way down.

No power adapter. Batteries are the order of the day. It doesn't seem like a power hog though. I've ran mine for hours and it's still going strong on the original 9v battery.
