haven't found my damn accountant since moving. blows.
haven't been thrilled by any ABYs yet, wanting one for making delays without trails keep running. preferably a small one.
tell me some suggestions, por favor.
even if those suggestions are threads.

If by 'accountant' you're not refering to the dude who balances your accounts: I take it you didn't like it all that much? Been curious about those myself. Small and capable of serious squish...So why not just get another one, and when you found your old one again, sell it to me?
ABY: Been using a Radial Big Shot for a couple of years now. It can take a beating, and has the phase switch as well as a ground lift. Both must haves on aby pedals imo. They're affordable and pretty easy to come by on the used market. Just too bad it doesn't have any status leds.

re: accountant, i have a list of pedz i can't find from when i moved. gotta be a box somewhere... just scares me the moving company tossed it or something... blows regardless.
ABY i'd probably just roll w/ a morley, but i agree it's stupid not to have LEDs and it only runs on battery to have those work. same w/ the livewire.

I have an Accountant, love it, use it on the (main) one of two amps, ratio 0, pad 1. Sucks that you lost yours, temporarily let's hope.
ABY - got a passive BOO Instruments one w/ LEDs (not on atm). It's nice and sturdy, semi-matte metal with engraved writing, and used as a two input - one output switcher for running a mixer into the chain. I mean ABYs are some of the boringest pedals to buy, but it's good to have around. My friend has an old DOD one that looks pretty cool.
