These just arrived this morning. I haven't had time to plug 'em in yet. I'll have time to do that either this afternoon, or this evening.

Those will be fun to play with. 8) Soon, you will need a pedalboard to put everything on. :wink: Do you have a volume pedal, yet? Those are quite handy, especially if they have a tuner out like the Ernie Ball pedals have.

Read all about the pedal board here.
Y'know.....there's one unused plug on that 1-Spot 9V adapter that would probably fit a tuner quite nicely. :mrgreen:

I did get a chance to fire them up this evening. I really like the simplicity of the Micro Chorus. Twiddle one knob, and Bob's yer uncle. Straight up 12:00 seems to be a rather nice setting for some of the songs I wrote that I play on the Rick.

And the flanger is also the epitome of simplicity. And I get more of that jet airplane take-off sound than I did with my old Boss BF-2 flanger (that got ripped off a long time ago.) I've been looking for something to add even a little more spaciness to "Eight Miles High" and it does it.

The next test will be how to hook 'em up running Rick-O-Sound. I may put the chorus through the neck pickup, the flanger through the bridge pickup. Or I might hit on something else entirely. It's all fun.
