So I picked up a pedal and rotated it 90 degrees but now the switch is on the side and the input/output jacks are verticle and I don't know how to fix it and I'm starting to hyperventilate. I'm going to need some tech support here.PetZounds wrote:Well, I can't answer that, honestly.backwardsvoyager wrote:Is this mod reversible? I don't want to damage the resale value of my pedal. Thanks.PetZounds wrote:Hey, so, looking at the pedal diagram, I found a quick and easy mod to take care of the top-mount problem:
Firmly grasp the pedal and rotate it 90 degrees.
You now have one top mounted jack and one bottom mounted jack.
Might even be better that top mount in some cases!
I'm no pedal builder.
But, if I had to wager a guess...
...probably.

If you're a "sales" person you're certainly not going to earn them here if you're openly bashing a builder. This thread is pointless and insulting. This could have asked in an email. I'm not trying to be a dick but people need to chill the fuck out on builders sometimes. They do their best.
I wasn't bashing a builder, I was expressing an opinion on a style of pedal design and concept.
I wasn't asking a question, I was expressing an opinion.
Or am I not allowed to express my opinion? This is a forum, is it not?
Of course you're entitled to you opinion. I'm just suggesting maybe you ask the builder for something like top mounted jacks instead of complaining about the design. What is your point in that? Were you going to buy a pedal and now you're not because it's not top mounted? I've made a pedal this small and it's snug as shit, would be pretty hard to top mount these I would think. Maybe I'm wrong.

Dude you can't really bitch about people bitching about pedals, that's like 90% of the discussion here.
And so I give the answer that, really, should've been on page one.
"You should just buy The Elements."

I hear The Elements is good for that.

That's why I own a Dual Elements. Duh.

Now featuring twice as many top mounted jacks.

I hear if you run a microphone through an Elements and bitch into it, it sounds bitchin'.

Ok. Here you go. A gut shot. All that is needed to know that there is literally no space to top mount. The jacks would be so close together that you'd have difficulty plugging patch cables into it.
It MIGHT be possible, but I don't think it'd work. Look at the power supply and the jack. So close together.

Well earlier you told me I shouldn't have posted. Not only am I entitled to an opinion, I'm also entitled to express it. I'll express my view and debate the relative merits of any pedal and line of pedals I damn well wish, as can anyone else. I thought this was discussion forum. Or did I come to the wrong place?jwar wrote: Of course you're entitled to you opinion.

Good call. Maybe we can make this a fruit-centric thread?

Yes, you did come to the wrong place. The gear page is that way.
Continue with your opinions. You are of course entitled.
