NICE!
Next to mine, which is identical, that's one of the cleanest I've seen. Like many of the russian muffs, it's definitely got a small sweet spot but is super nice and smooth...great score!

... umm... a Boss TU-3. :!!!:

I swear to god I even asked if he was sure of the trade and he said "Yes" because he hasn't used the pedal in years. He emailed me on a FS Craigslist ad I put up for the Tuner so it wasn't even me trying to score a killer deal.

haha, one time someone had on up on CL, a tallfont, for $10, broken. when i raced over there, he acted all smug and said "yep, you're gonna have to be PRET-TY good with a soldering iron to bring that one back!"

i got home, and the black wire had come off the battery snap. i soldered a new snap in and it fired up perfectly. to make matters funnier, it had a civil war board inside, the hand numbered resin board.

yeah, i sold it on ebay for like $300.

I dunno, guys. This might end up being used as trade bait. I've put in a few hours of time with the pedal and it sounds amazing... it just really wasn't meant (obviously) for the mandolin. I'll give it awhile longer as I really do need something fuzzier on my board than just the Dr. Sci Woofer Wailer.
