Just popped up from a local seller. Thought I'd give it a go, was a pretty good sound improvement from the headrush.

Tone Benders are an acquired taste, and there’s 4-5 different versions which all sound a bit different.
Was it you who had the 2203 Marshall?

Very much an acquired taste, especially if you grew up on a diet of Big Muffs. They're so much more dynamic, though.

Hope you're all good Reg, that sucks! I won't be there but feel free to grab my LP and/or my 2013 purple AC15 if you wanted to take either of those with you Jeremy
