So I went out to meet a guy to buy his mint condition Boss RC-20xl off him, so mint infact it still has the loops loaded on it from the factory.

and what do I find when I get in.......

Sinister Analog Ultra Lord
Source Audio Soundblox Tri Mod Wah
Molten Voltage Toggle

and my little flip camera so I can finally do pedal clips and demos and such.

Unfortunately I have to go to band practice now. Don't you hate it when a band gets in the way of your music

so you got all those? how much? looks tasty!

edit: those factory loops can be re-loaded onto the loop station though, right?

Shame the Toggle is so insanely massive. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it though.

man the toggle looks pretty cool

This reminds me of when the family went to buy a puppy in 1999. The guy was selling German-Shorthaired Pointers for $150 a piece, but he wasn't getting any traffic except for us. He promptly offered us all 9 of his puppies for the price of one.

I still can't decide whether we made a good decision or not.

It's tiny when you compare it to the box it came in behind it

Ok, I gotta ask- who was the schmo that used like 50 stamps on the box for the wah?

That's the box for the whole package.

Does that at all lessen the schmo-factor (TM)? I think not

If I knew what a schmo was then I might be able to answer that question

You don't know what a schmo is? You may have a bit of a schmo-factor yourself

Hehe, I obviously have a vague idea of what it means...

I just checked on urban dictionary and I'm shocked and appalled

I don't really see what idiotic about putting stamps on a postal box though... It needs a lot so it equals the amount that it would be to buy one more expensive stamp. I'd say that's quite the opposite of schmo-ness, I'm sure it would take a little bit of adding and working out to get the right amount!

I've always used it in the more light-hearted sense- like saying, "you goofball." I just meant that it looks pretty silly with all the stamps on it- they probably could have gone to the post office and back in the time it took to put them all on

Yeah, I wasn't taking the term literally lol. I think I'll stop the discussion of stamp use before it goes too far...

I'm just filling up time to wait for TaySte to come back and tell us how the pedals were!

i think tonefactor was a post office in a previous life- because the package i got from them got the same treatment.

edit- in response to whats stupid about using stamps- nothing- just as functional- but i will say it is quite wasteful. when the ice caps melt i will know who to blame.

TaySte_2000 · #17 10-30-2008, 05:08 PM

Ok back,

Short review:

Toggle - Uses a positive tip power supply so couldn't even try it.

RC-20xl - Lot of fun, have to change how I loop since my past 2 loopers you have to hold the button down to overdub.

Ultra Lord - Love it, keeper, loads of sounds, exactly what I expected knew I was going to keep it before I got it due to it being discontinued.

Tri Mod Wah - Took a bit to figure out the hot hand controller only due to doing the man thing and not reading the manual, it's really cool and works exactly how the videos show, I've not nailed a filter sound I'm happy with but I am very impressed with how it works and the blue led on the hot hand doesn't hurt.

Bump for Videos...

Quite funny.

I work in the retail buisness, so this makes perfectly good sense if the company is in a small town with a small post office. I'm kinda surprised that ToneFactor doesn't print their own labels/have an account with the post office though. We ship 150+ packages a day though, so maybe they don't do enough buisness to have an account?
