Effects you got for Christmas
- Thread starter plastik-bass[?]

i got me a digitech bass synth wah. then $50 from my grandpa which will probably go to another pedal of some sort
S&S Bluebeard #240, Wilson Effects Bass Freaker Wah, $125 in GC money that will probably fund an OCD.
I didn't get any effects, but I got some cash to put towards one. I did get a beautiful sunburst Strat with a maroon pick guard though 
My friend/drummer picked me up a used Boss DD-20 Giga Delay. I may return it because I can't see myself using 3/4 of the features it has on there.
Two things:
A. You simply must tell me, in great detail, about that Freaker Wah, and
B. Is the Madison, WI, GC the only store in the country that doesn't carry Fulltone pedals?
Unrepresented
Something Borderline Offensive
I didn't get any pedals but I got two unmarked gear cards to Guitar Center. I'm assuming around $100 value between them, and $100 in eBay gift cards.
GC doesn't carry any of the effects gear I'm usually GASing for, so eBay will have to be the place for that. Will probably use the GC cards for recording gear.

a line6 podx3 live, as an upgrade form my bpxtl
yeah i know they are of polarised opinion on here but i can run a bass model and a guitarlike model at the same time like john entwistle did so thats one step closer

I got a MXR Phase 90 and a MXR Classic Distortion, which i am returning (sucked too much low end). But on another note, i got a spector 4 string, which makes my crappy behringher amp sound good!!!
I got an EHX Big Muff. And a powered pedal board. Whoo hoo.
Quick question though, I noticed that the Muff only has two plug in's for instrument cables and none for a power source. Does it feed off the power from the amp or something?
Sorry for my noob-ness.

I assume you got a black Russian model. That means it only runs off of a 9v battery. However something like a 1Spot with a battery clip adapter would work as well. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/1SpotCBAT/
Pros:
-Sound. Awesome. Very, very awesome.
-Construction. Like a tank.
-Bypass. Not at all difficult to switch. Much smoother than Crybabies.
-Versatility. A bunch of modes. All sound good, and the quack knob is fun.
-Plays very well with others.
Cons:
-Must run on isolated 2.1mm 9v power (no Dunlops or Daisy Chains) or battery.
-The sweep isn't as effective as it would be in a perfect world. Better than most even, but I'd like the kind of frequency sweep that you get on say the Moog Freqbox. That's a little unfair to the pedal, so it shouldn't really be a con. But whatever.
That's just an initial run. There's maybe an hour or two on the pedal so far, but those few hours have been great fun.
Also, I know it's not the only GC that doesn't. Even guitarcenter.com doesn't list them. Fortunately, the one closest to me, in Nashville, does carry Fulltone, so I might get some fun stuff out of it.
Santa brought me an EHX Nano Small Stone and a Demeter Compulator....WooHooo! 
Time to rework the pedal board.
