Just placed my order for a nice new shiny gold brick of tone.
High gain white dot, sun dial, yellow led, on/off knob.
Wah > Octavio > Sun Face
Shit should be epic.
10 or so days is going to be a long long time.

With that setup it sounds like you're a Hendrix fan. Nothing at all wrong with that. He was the main dude who got me to pick up a guitar.

Lord yeah. Hendrix, Page, Iommi, Zappa, and Blackmore were my first guitar idols.

Hendrix is in the Pantheon... if not on the Throne, certainly one of the most powerful Archangels. perhaps a yin-yang relationship with Page.

Nobody flowed like Hendrix, even his off shit is usually on.

Truth. Though a lot of those tracks released after his death he wasn't happy with, and would not of wanted them to be released. I think they are inspirational and its great just to hear those outtakes. But at the same time I beleive they are just a corporate cash grab.
There hasn't been anyone since that can play with the same soul, emotion and passion as Hendrix. Just my opinion though.

Hendrix is on another planet to me. Far and away jut so far the best ever. I stumbled upon a bootleg of all his studio recordings from 1970 a few years ago, and even listening to him create/dick around is nuts. I really don't care for most Led Zep, though.
Always wanted to try a Sunface.

I'm with D.o.S. on this.
Although IMO, The Mad Titan, The Who blew Hendrix off the stage at the Isle of Wight.
Let us know what you think of the Sun Face.

Why not gettin a used one on Reverb?
There's no wait on Reverb.
I always wanted to try one of these and the Peppermint Fuzz too.

Because I want one with the on/off pot, and high gain white dot NKT. Anything I would have bit on on reverb or Fleabay would have been a compromise and the same price as new or more expensive.

Congrats! I've got a sun lion and it sounds incredible, the boost really kicks it to life. He builds fantastic sounding pedals.

Beano Boost + Sun Face
I was thinking of picking up a used Beano Boost or BB mini myself, and using it to replace my SansAmp on my board for space reasons.

They go so well together. Ive got the red dot germs in my sun face. Another really great sounding rangemaster clone is the sugarboost from creepy fingers, it's not in a small enclosure but it sounds so sweet.

I almost got the red dot normal gain, but living in Florida I wanted something less temperamental under temperature extremes, and I also thought the slightly brighter character would fare well with the Tremoverb which can be a smoother/darker amp.
