So I have dial-up at my place, which means that youtube just flat out doesn't work. I've been researching this pedal for a little more than a week or so, and have decided to purchase it. For what I'm doing, it's pretty much the holy grail of guitar pedals. It's a 45 minute ordeal for me to load a three minute video so I'm only going to give you ( Read more... )
