Surely you'd rather support a god-fearing family man than a faceless Chinese corporation?

And there's all I really need there.

How do i state this politely..... I would rather support the abused and mis-treated than the blind and mis-informed. :snax:



Well that, and I have both and I like that the UD is less than half the cost and has more low end. :excellent:

I would be very unhappy. Space Echo alone is that. No guitar synth. No custom pedals. I have these things for a reason, because Bonnie buys the cheap shit and I like to taste my coffee.

But let's see...

Boss GL-100 rackmount + FS, $100
Two-footswitch original Digi Jamman, $125
Digi Time Bender used, $125
Roland EV-5 for Time Bender $50
Ampeg Scrambler clone $100

That leaves me sad and alone and wondering where the rest of my toys are.

$500 isn't jack if you want serious wierd or know what you want.

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.
