Does not compute. Wah makes some of the simplest riffs infinitely cooler sounding.

You're probably right I guess. Just another case of user error Im sure :facepalm:

Anyway, thanks everyone.

A couple of good suggestions there, as well as a couple that arent exactly cheap (pdf-1) or pedal board friendly (fm4).

Most parametric filters and eq peds could qualify I suppose.

But to be clear: If I can get the seller to lower his price, the q zone should get the job done, right?

FM4 isn't pedal board friendly, but it will be once you find you like all the wonky sounds it makes.

Also, from what I understand- the ILF motto is "if it doesn't fit on your pedal board, your board isn't big enough"

STOP. There's a practically brand new one near me for $100, I totally don't need it and you're not helping :lol:

Indeed. That's why I replaced my last pedalboard -after only a couple of months- for a bigger one. It's not even finished yet, I'm not ready for yet another upgrade :facepalm:

There's already way more stuff on my board than what I actually need or regularly put to good use, and it's also at the point where anything bigger would be a fucking bitch to carry around. Few of the stages I've been on were big enough for the size of pedal board I'm hauling aroung these days :facepalm:
