and will soon be selling some pedals!
was inspired to try them through new amps and speakers i've picked up since packing these away, and am quite amazed at how much my taste and "ear" has changed.
there's a mesa v-twin that i used to love, which now sounds harsh and fake (except the clean channel, which despite being the only all-valve channel AFAIK sounds dull and processed),
a BBE sonic stomp maximiser, the effects of which can be bettered by cleaning the jack on your guitar and going straight into a half-decent amp/cabinet with any decent cable under 10m in length,
a 535Q that i stupidly forgot to take the batteries out of and will now need to replace one of the connectors, which will be going on principle due needing 2x9V batteries and having too many switches and knobs,
an ibanez smash box that some gypsy traded me years ago for smoke,
and some behringer crap i impulse-bought very cheap to begin with, was profoundly unimpressed by, and am currently too disheartened to ever try again.
strangely, my EH big muff re-issue now sounds much more interesting than the 1/2 trick pony i originally believed it to be, and is the only one i'm not planning to liquidate a the earliest possible opportunity.

thanks for listening.
