Just got a Weeping Demon for cheap!

Woo!!! I just scored an Ibanez Weeping Demon on ebay for $55 plus $10 for shipping. I'm pretty pumped. I recently stripped down my pedalboard to just a Bad Monkey, a Big Muff, a Boss NS-2 and a Rocktron x-tune, and I've been missing being able to make weird noises at will. I've been reading all kinds of good stuff about these pedals, so hopefully it will serve me well.

 

Yeah, it works like a charm for killing the noise of the Big Muff. I play in a pretty hard band, and I used to be in a hardcore/metal band, so being able to cut the notes short for breakdowns is really, really important for me. I run all my pedals in the loop of the NS-2 (except the tuner; it doesn't seem to like being anywhere but first in line) and it works great.

 

I guess there is always somebody who got a better deal.

 

Do you use the loop? That seems to be a lot more effective than simply running the NS-2 after the pedals. Since what I'm looking for with the NS-2 is a very fast, aggressive gate without the need for much sustain, I keep the threshold fairly high, and the sustain very low. If you need really long sustain, those settings might not work so well for you.
