They're having a music market downtown on Saturday. I'm considering bringing whatever is not on my board and the guitars I don't use and try to flip some serious shit. Start afresh, sort of. Hmmmm...

Is there a cool tuner pedal? Like a really cool one? My pedalboard is all cool/fancy boutiqueyness made by cool fancy people, so my TU-2 seems... out of place. Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely NOTHING against Boss, and the TU-2 has served me very well for years. I just want to know if there is anything cooler/better out there. Is the Polytune Mini the cool tuner to have now?

the entire polytune series is great

the mini is good for the space-conscious

I prefer the polytune 2 for the strobe setting (and the combo needle/strobe setting)

I realize how ridiculous that post is. It's just like, all of my pedals are lovely creations made by people I can easily PM on here, or flirt with on Instagram, or ya know, call up in the middle of the night crying because I had a scary dream.

Is Boss in the Sharktank? Will Boss still fix my pedals for free even though I'm the one millionth owner? Probably not, and that's okay. There's just some nice personal touch with handmade pedals, and I wanted it to touch me while I tuned.

I'm sticking with the Boss to prove to you guys that I haven't forgotten my roots. Also I need that buffer.

Boss make some great pedals, and I think most if them look pretty cool. Plus, stomping them feels real smooth and buttery.

If I was in a heavily touring band you bet your sweet buns I'm switching to mostly generic brands, no way in hell I'll let my babies suffer. :lol:

Bet yer ass I would tour with my current board! If I had known about all the cool fancy stuff when I was touring heavily I would have definitely bought it. All I cared about at the time was sounding like The Fall of Troy. I've had tons of cables fail me on the road, but never a pedal.
