Silenced Fred Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 So after playing around with it, I don't think its the pedal for me. So what do you guys think they are worth? The Slight Returns are up on eBay for over 500... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Well, I put it up on craigslist, and I'm getting a new Fuzz factory and a kay tremolo. Told the guy I would meet him at a guitar center, and as it turns out, he's the guitar tech there New Pedal Day for me! (on Monday) It's gonna be a good year...

ChanMan Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Wow. Am I the only one who tries a pedal before buying it? It would certainly explain why I don't return/trade them often.... Good luck Fred, I hope this one gives you what you're looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Fred, I hope this one gives you what you're looking for! I can't....hardly any of the ones I want are available to try out. But I don't send them back....I make 'em work.

Probably why I own so few boutique pedals (1... a Chandler Tube Driver). The ones I have tried have mostly not done much for me, so I don't see me buying one in the hopes that I'll find another CTD..

I can't even find a DD3 to try out when I wanted....only a boss compression pedal....nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Ahh yes... the Carribean. Not where one thinks of when imagining the hotbed of musical gear. I've played a DD-3. I like the DD-7 better, and it is one of the few pedals I've bought before trying it out. To be fair, I traded a DD-6 for it, though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I have a hard time getting fuzz to work for me - especially with my Gibsons. I have a brand new LovePedal Dragon Fuzz on my board and I rarely use it at all. Guess I'm more of an overdrive guy, but I keep trying fuzz pedals thinking I'll find one that I really like.

Andre S Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yup.....maybe less than 10 Gibsons in the country.....sucks....At least there is a PRS dealer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big fuzz fan either. I'm more of a distortion/overdrive kinda guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I would like to try out either the Jimi Hendrix Fuzz or the Joe Bonamassa Fuzz when its released, but I can't get them, and I don't know if I like fuzz......and its costly to ship it back.

Good luck Fred, I hope this one gives you what you're looking for! I got it in a trade and it sounds great, just not in my sound anymore. I will now have the swollen pickle and the fuzz factory for my plethora of fuzzes and the big muff for whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Trade... purchase... all semantics. I'm still not entirely sure I get buying a pedal... or amp or guitar for that matter... that I haven't tried yet. Folks living in areas with little choice nowithstanding. So... is it the name that makes you go WOW!!! I Need this pedal!!! Is it the hype? The marketing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... is it the name that makes you go WOW!!! I Need this pedal!!! Is it the hype? The marketing? The pedals that I got, the DD3, the Way Huge, and a couple others, were influenced by Joe Bonamassa's pedals and the sound he gets from them in the demos. And also I wanted to try out that particular type of pedal, but I didn't know which one to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... is it the name that makes you go WOW!!! I Need this pedal!!! Is it the hype? The marketing? I had a bass that I learned I'm not that keen on bass right now, and a kid in my music class was looking for another bass. He had the 69 fuzz which is supposed to be the holy grail of fuzz sounds, and I knew it was worth quite a bit, so I didn't think the deal was stupid on my part. I like the way it sounded, but it didn't fit in with what I wanted to do. So I did the trade, and off of a bass I paid 150 for, I got the 69 pedal, and with that 69 pedal, I am getting a fuzz factory and a tremolo pedal, which would have cost more than the initial 150 dollar investment I had the money at the time of the bass purchase, and I thought I would get around to it more, but I didn't. Opportunity arose And we let each other have a week long test drive of the pedal for me, and the bass for him. I was happier with the pedal than the bass, so was he.

Silenced Fred Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Ahhh! I am enlightened! Thanks :) Good luck with the new one, man! haha, I know, I should have just hung onto the money, but this is the deal that made me make sure I am absolutely positive about purchases and everything from now on. So two new pedals, and a life lesson. I think I made a good deal on that one I'll be sure to post some clips or something once I get it... just gotta wait til Monday now... argh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Dude! I was puking my brains out and I missed this thread. I'm excited for you! My Fuzz Factory is my pride and joy. I love it. I think you're gonna love it too. What kind is it? Vexter or Handpainted? I'm gonna be pissed if you get one with a cooler paintjob than mine. You're gonna spend a lot of time tweaking...

Jon S. Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You're gonna spend a lot of time tweaking... Indeed. Don't give up on it though. There's a bajillion possibilities with it(once you figure it out). I sold my first one to a bandmate because I didn't give it enough time..

Pretty sure its Vexter, and I can't wait to try out the Kay tremolo pedal, seems pretty cool. When I posted this, I was like where is Travis at?
