Marshall MG100. Shitty built in effects, shitty cleans, shittier distortion and sweet Cthulhu the cooling fan was loud as balls.

Followed by a Bugera V22. Which broke in a week.

Haha, oh well, I just spent 45 Euro on power supplies for some stuff I had lying around. I guess this will have to wait until some other shit will be sold. But I imagine a four eyes w/ expression pedal, this and the Koma delay would make for a great noise setup.

Btw can you use a VPjr as expression pedal? Since I spent so much on utility stuff I might as well get one of those to go along.

OK, I got it 2xmono -> 1stereo jack. Might go for a volume pedal too. Still thinking if I really want the EB VPjr though. Morley Mini Volume looks neat as well and there is a considerably cheaper option by "Artec". That has the advantage of having min and max pots, so it would be more useful for expression pedal uses...

The wiring inside of this one looks sloppy as fuck. Seriously.

so i actuall have done a side by side of these
using an insert cable(2xmono->stereo jack) as expression
i got the morley lil alligator(it has min vol)
the ebvpj is so much nicer
one thing i dont like about morley is
heel position is almost horizontal
you have to kinta lean over to get the full toe
on a pedalboard it prob dont matter(both mine are on the floor)
footprint of morley is real wide
not sure how to word this but
there is a bigger sweep from heel to toe on ebvp
and more resistance
better for expression fine tuning
this is all my opinion,of course
which i hope has been upgraded at post #666

I think the difference now than when I was a kid with GAS is:

1. I have some amount of expendable income to throw at guitar gear now.
2. My GAS only takes a few days from learning about something, to being obsessed with getting it, to either getting it or GASing over something else. Thanks Internet! ;)

Seriously though, the amount of insanely awesome music gear out there right now is pretty insane and I want something new every couple days. Gone are the months of lusting over the same crappy picture of a guitar in the MusiciansFriend catalog while angrily strumming on my cheap guitar and cheap amp and thinking more expensive stuff would make me a better player. :lol: (it doesn't make me one. i've always sucked and always will.)

YEAH, i wonder why that dude puts gutshots in his video with wiring like that. But that is pretty much the only reason not to get it. And you could turn it positive and say it's got p vintage vibe with that wiring. Which was actually the second thing I had thought after seeing that picture. The first was yuck.

Thanks gotta be the noise ensemble circuit. I have two now, one is stock and the other switches between a wet only sound and wet only plus sick vibrato. I should make a vid for you. The wet only with a real low delay time gives a slight detuned monster fuzz. I now use this in my ring mods effects loop. Ran this through my multiplex delay today. Super scary sick sounds. I'll post a vid tomorrow
