Groove Regulators in SF Bay Area?

Anyone have one (preferrably in San Jose/South Bay/Santa Cruz areas) that I could come over and try out?
I tried one briefly at a GTG and wasn't crazy about the sounds, but I'm not sure that I gave it a fair shake.

I may need to conserve space on by board and find a smaller-than-Mutron filter, and I'd like to give the GR another listen.

I've got one, but I'm in SF.

Hi
I bought my GR last year from a shop in either LA, Santa Monica or San Diego - I can't remember which. Anyway his shop was called something like Mario's Bass Shop. I think he posts on TB from time to time. He was great to deal with and the GR is well tasty! I guess you could go onto 3LeafAudio site or email the maker to find out who supplies around Bay Area too.

I will try and find my receipt and post details of supplier later today.

Miko's Bass Shop in LA and Truetone in Santa Monica are both dealers. Unfortunately I don't have any dealers in the bay area right now.

Hi Spencer,
That Groove Regulator is a great pedal. Having the FX loop is great too. I've currently got a ZVex Mastortron in mine for a delicious fuzz wah option.

Have you got any more interesting pedal projects on the go?

How about a 3Leaf version of the Lovetone Cheese distortion, set up so it works really well in the GR fx loop?

Unfortunately I have more ideas than time....I'm going to get to some of them soom though, so maybe you'll see something new before year's end. I actually owned a Lovetone Big Cheese for a while, and I wasn't that impressed with it on bass. There's already a straight clone of it made by OLC anyway.

Ok, that's useful info about the Lovetone Cheese. I've only heard a few clips of the OLC chunky cheese on guitar and it sounded interesting on that. It would be nice to know what that's really like on bass.

I'll look forward to hearing what you're next product will be when the time is right.

Anyway, thanks for making the life of so many envelope junkies that bit sweeter.
