Canadians prefer to do the bulk of their commercial shipping on US holidays, in order to slam US postal workers on their first day back.

It's also Canada's 150th birthday this weekend so there's that

No, I think I was right. Saturday (Dominion Day) shouldn't have any effect on Friday or Monday. Canadian businesses just really like to make things tough on US postal employees. It's part of a shadow campaign of passive aggression.

According to the tracking info, it should be shipped today... but I'm not home. I guess I'll have a card to pick it up at the post office tomorrow.

Got mine (#24), I love pretty much everything FC does (miss my Randy's Revenge). This thing is pretty fucking sick and sounds great with dirt/fuzz

Got #002 last week... but been out of town for family issue. I should have more time with it this week.
This is not a regular modulation and will not do regular chorus/vibrato effect... the rate knob control the rate of the ramdomness... it's really unique.
So far I like it... but I need more time to understand all the control.

Sort of. If you set the LPG knob high the sound is brighter but its still gating some noise so the second you play you'll get a blast of white noise if you want brighter sounds.
To me its more an issue that its kinda lofi no matter what you do. Headroom in the circuit seems low so even with single coils I was clipping the pedal with medium strength playing.
So both of those things combined mean to me it sounds kind of crappy with clean tones unless you like dark and noisy clean tones. That's as opposite from what I like as you could possibly be. Its very pleasant with low gain tones though. Anything where some gain covers up the noise of the pedal and smooths out the sharp dips and peaks of the modulation because this seems to do random in the usual way which is what seems like smooth movement for a bit and then a sharp swing in either direction. Because the pedal is pretty subtle to start, damping the modulation just makes it disappear in the darkness and noise with my playing and rig.

Hmmm.
I'm not sure how i feel about that. I was hoping for less lo-fi if I wanted. Someone said there's a trimmer that affects the lpg but I don't know where or in what way it affects it. I just want random vibrato without all this darkening business.
