I too avoided using pedals for as long as I could. Borrowed a Phaser and a Chorus from a friend who wasn't using them, found I could get nice addition to my sound. Decided I would return his pedals and buy my own. But, on price check I found the two pedals alone cost more than the B3. I bought the B3... and WOW... I am a convert. I love the variety of tone and effect controls this has. Very easy to use.I did, it´s a great piece of gear. Very powerfull if you know what you want. The amp sims are great. And it´s easy to set it up. I´m really pleased with it and this is from a guy that doesn´t like pedals.
