And that's not a bad thing...All good. I don't mind the wait. Besides, I'm way deep into the Ric rabbit hole now.

Geddy Lee Sansamp Pedal!

As requested @jacoby75 & @tonymcbony: a @tech21nyc YYZ & DP-3X comparison test
I set them so that their overall EQ response is very similar, but as you can hear they still sound dramatically different: I recorded them in parallel, so you're hearing the exact same performance in each, and didn't add any post processing at all.
Awesome!
Having owned many Tech21 pedals, I feel the DP3X has that trademark “sansamp” tone.
The YYZ definitely has the Geddy character, which is awesome. But it also sounds a lot more open and unprocessed/natural.

Thanks for posting. I'd been curious about this. Both sound great in their own ways. I get the impression that the YYZ design sizes up with x-over. They may pair nicely together

I'm pretty much joining you down that rabbit hole while also patiently waiting for my YYZ.
The little Geddy graphic on the pedal is so great! Feels encouraging, for whatever reason
The YYZ (The Gedal) in Ric-o-sound, paired with a Tech 21 RBI
I was in Toronto over the weekend, so I stopped into Steve’s Music on Queen St. to see if they had a YY-Zed in stock. No such luck. I spent the money on a steak dinner instead. For dessert, I ordered the YYZ from Musicians Friend using the 15% off Memorial Day Sale code.
I'm not sure, exactly. I received a unique coupon code in my email -- maybe it was a "preferred customer dicount" and not a Memorial Day sale code?
Mine delivers today !! Can’t wait to try it out!
My wife just alerted me that mine arrived. Guess I will make an early day of work. It's good to be the boss
Just call ‘em. You’ll get the discount. The sale is extended, for at least, through today.
Got mine yesterday, extremely impressed with the tones I can get. It excels at light grit and the tight button really helps to cut through the mix. I might end up using it as more of a preamp and less of an effect.
Kind of how I'm using mine - always-on, I set it for a nice tone shaping just on the verge of a nice, light growl.
If a song requires it - I simply twist the Drive a tad more to the right for more "effect" mode.
