Same, also grabbed one of Troy/Jellybelly's MS3's. Will hopefully trim my board down a fair bit, probably keep some separate OD's/Fuzz's on there depending on how good the built in options are (heard they're better than some of the other multi fx drives).

Turned up today, very well packed and very quick turnaround with Troy getting it in the post about an hour or so after my payment went through. :thumbup:

I've been looking into all sorts of devices, the MS-3 seems to have the most bang for your buck. At that price I couldn't say no. Can't wait to get it in me hands!
Went to a gig the other weekend.

Guitar player: Fossil
Amp: Ancient Fender Bassman
Guitars: Beat up (or maybe relic'd) Strat and Tele
Pedal board: GLOWING SHINY BOSS MS-3 AND SHINY COLOURFUL STRYMONS

He sounded bloody good.

Long day at work today, which is a bummer because a package from bender arrived just after I left. +1 to the JM collection, this one with extra green.

At first glance I did wonder why the switches were all recessed... then I realised it was just a picture on the cardboard...

Ha I think it's thrown a few people, I thought it was a touch screen.

I will have two 85s for the cricket bat. Might give the 81 a go, but I’d like to experiment.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
