    Having said that, my Mesa sounds scary when you turn the dirt up. Actually too much dirt for any normal purpose.
    I might have one of those lying around

    Oh I shouldn't have skimmed the boogie bit either that or my roman numerals suck haha... where was my Rocky DVDs when I needed them!

    Ahh, tinnitus

    My old toy.
    Its long gone from both our camps now.

    You can get them really cheap now compared to what they were when I bought it new. It didn't work all that well in the loop of my amp although its probably just my amp to blame. It was just rather cumbersome and a pain in tits to cart around. I didn't quite like the fact I couldn't have modulation and delay at same time, it is very limited in what it can do. Sounds nice though - good quality.

    I'd take a step up from it if I were you... maybe a G-Major or a Nova system.
    If its just Delay maybe the Nova pedal would be a good idea or a Eventide Time Factor if you got money to burn.

    Personally I have been lusting after a Fractal Axe-FX Ultra for 2 years now
