    Thanks. I think I’ll get a professional to do that… I’ve done enough damage!

    I’ve no experience with the Voice Box itself but will say that effects placement is very much a matter of personal preference, if you find it sounds okay and doesn’t buzz elsewhere in the effects chain go for it. There is no right or wrong way of doing it, only what works for you.

    Does your amp have an effects loop? I used to have all my effects running before the amp but had noise issues with my Memory Boy so stuck everything that wasn’t distortion in the loop; problem solved!

    Wow, that was subtle… nice how you worked that ad for your daughter’s band into the thread. Almost seamless.

    If you need help with something and join a forum for the purpose of finding that help you get much further if you make your own thread and state what exactly you need help with. :D

    Got my Memory Boy yesterday… as the first delay I’ve ever owned this pedal is definitely going to be a learning experience.

    I love how it sounds, I don’t seem to get the volume issues and overly dark repeats that I’ve seen mentioned… not sure about the feedback control though, first time I touched it I was blasted by a terrifying shriek from the 4×12 that my head was in front of at the time so at the moment that’s saying below 12 o’clock! 🙄 Enjoying the modulation too, and like how with delay and feedback turned right down I effectively get a basic chrous/vibrato pedal. Need time to have a proper play with it, but definitely pleased with this purchase, though I suspect at some point I’ll scrimp and save to upgrade to a DMB or even DMM.
    Also found that with my phaser switched on I can make some awesome spacey sounds. Hell, I reckon I could do all the sound effects for a pre-Star Wars style scifi film with just my guitar! Little disappointed with how the delay seems to vanish when my LBM is on though, was kind of hoping for some dirty delay shenanigans. Maybe with the Sustain on a lower setting it’ll chime through a bit more.

    I bet the buyer was some rich, balding lawyer type who thinks he can cling on to his rockin’ youth by purchasing expensive vintage gear… which is only actually that expensive because it keeps getting bought by rich, balding lawyer types.

    Thankee, the power supply I’m using is a generic thing made to work with most major brands, and the numbers match up so I might as well keep using it. Less clutter on the board = room for more effects! :D

    Nice.

    In 1-3 business days, via the Royal Mail (soon to be privatised… 🙄 when will our benificent overlords realise that privatisation tends to cause more problems than it solves?), I’m expecting to receive a Memory Boy. :D

    Thanks for the replies… I think I will keep the FabTone, there are more mods I want to do to it anyway, see if I can get the best I can out of it.

    Totally going to get the BMPG4 sometime, I want tone shaping options! :D
