Exar Tourbox Thread

btw my reviews went up at harmony-central on the tourbox and I finally have time to post about it!

Summary:
overall I liked it a lot. It could get a range of usable distortion tones, and i would recommend it for someone looking for a good flexible distortion.

Summary:
tough pedal to review--it wasn't terribly impressive, yet it delivered exactly what it promised so I didn't want to knock it. It is your average chorus pedal.

Summary:
I liked this one the best. I really liked the range of tones I could dig up with this--the octave up sounded kinda funky, as it didn't really sound like an octave up, as much as it just sounded like distortion lol but the octave downs were really nice sounding to my ears. I will admit that it glitches, but at the same time, it's not a un-musical glitch. I thought it had charm ;)

I recorded some sound clips onto my netbook.
The order goes:
Fender Jag Bass->pedal->GK210combo direct out->mic in
so it's not quite a pro tools setup but I thought it sounds good enough to give an idea what kind of sound to expect. Also I put them to various drum beats/styles because i dislike solo bass clips. It's like checking out a new car on the salesfloor vs. taking it out for a test drive.

And then just for fun and further knowledge, I chained a few up

Overall, I am impressed. I really liked the distortion and the octave. I would like to try that filter with the exp pedal next, and I think with the distortion, octave and the filter (if i like it) I could have a pretty solid pedal board!
 
Where is it at now?

Swift713 should have sent it off to Yakob a while ago... Yakob, you there? It there? :)


To all future recipients: Let's step it up, please! There are a lot of you wanting to try these pedals out, and to be totally frank, my livelihood depends on this tour getting into more people's hands. Please, let's start shipping the pedals to the next recipient in under two weeks. We will all be very appreciative. :)
