So, I'm going to update my OP here. Anyone that hasn't taken notice, then hopefully you'll see this now and learn from it. I sent out an expensive ass pedal and now it's gone, gone, gone like the wind. I'm upset, I feel betrayed, and honestly I don't know if I'll get over it. I don't blame any one person, but it really, really smacks a guy in the face when you send something out and people don't even put insurance on the item in case something like this goes down. Word to the wise, don't be like me. I had what I thought was a good idea and it failed twice for me. Both times I've done a tourbox it has ended poorly. I'm not sure why any builder would do this here or anywhere for that matter. People just don't respect other people's stuff. I thought that I wasn't angry about this, but I am. It's hurt my feelings more than anything. So, yea, just putting my feelings out there. This has definitely changed my stance on trust here. It will most likely be a long time before I will trust certain folks if I ever do again.

Those of you who sent it out and it got there, I'm happy it did. If you did insure it, thank you so much for being considerate. If you didn't, well, I'd rather not know and I'll just leave it at that.

As Curtis said, it's not about the pedal.

I would be very much down for this. I barely understand it as is, if at all, but loop mangling would be ridiculous.

Depending on what your definition of "abroad" is... (I mean... I'm not overseas
and this pedal did originally come to you over a border in the first place)... I'd
love to try some looping/layering with this behemoth.

In any event, should be interesting to see where this Jwar-Box leads.

I'm wondering if I can do on this what I do on my Count to Five: Using Mode 2, I set up a blank loop then overdub for realtime chaos. I think I read something about AREC mode on the 856 being similar?
Anyway, I'd like to try it.

I put all of you on the list that commented. :)

I don't think Invisible Man will be in, but you could ask him. I'm down for sending it to Canada too.

You guys have to pay shipping when it goes to the next person though!

Very cool idea Jwar! I'm interested - missed out on both orders, but it seems right up my alley.

I haven't participated in a tourbox before, but it seems pretty straightforward and I'd really like to give the 856 a spin. If there's still room, count me in :thumb:

I'd love to get in on this, CT5 is my favorite pedal but ultimately not having midi sync allowed me to part with it in hopes of being able to program something similar on an Orville. That being said, 856's midi capabilities make it a perfect replacement, but it will be awhile before I can afford one. Havn't done a tour box since the fuzzhugger box when suneater amd velcrobot came out. If i'm allowed in i'd love to be towards the end of it if that's cool. I'm in AR, so if we circle it around maybe I can be towards the end to send it back to KC.
Super cool that you are willing to do this :!!!:
