Agree totally. Quirks in the sense of a unique sound are cool, but quirky operation/power requirements/interaction issues etc is not cool.

Thirdededed....lol
I also dig the shit out of the Infanem stuff but the power supply thing annoyed the living fuck out of me. My Second Voice never struck me as a noisy pedal though. That's kind of odd. I will say the tracking is a bit off, but other than that, it was very quite.

Both - My board is constantly changing. Of course there are pedals that don't see a lot of play time, but I try to always have a steady rotation.
Hope the picture isn't too big. So here is my board, if you will, which is just kind of just thrown across my garage floor on a rug because I am too poor for a proper pedalboard (The VB-2 was a gift so I didn't spend all my money on that!). Even though it is mostly boss, I love the the ambient sounds I get out of it. Both of the PS-3's make sexy, shimmering heaven noises, and I get warbles and whooshes with my other pedals; too bad I don't have a way to record...

I really dig it - total sleeper pedal. I'll get around to demoing it soon enough. TOO many pedz, never enough time
Thanks. Yeah, I'd like to hear you do a demo of that one. I've been looking for a wacky vibrato type pedal. I had a Catalinbread Pareidolia and didn't quite bond too well with it. I've also thought about getting a ToadWorks PipeLine. I can never decide what exactly I want. So, I just haven't gotten any of 'em.

Seriously. Totally bummed me out after trying it for 10 minutes. Haven't even touched it since...
