Id still love to try the Tone X one, but it seems more hassle and expense to get the Chocolate Plus working with it.

Oh yeah, not knocking them as such, just wish they had a few more options.

Let 'em come, im playing keys 😂

Agree, the Modulation effects are very limited.

Yeah, to me that’s way too expensive for what it is.

I couldn’t find one on Amazon for a decent price. All the normal priced ones said i was outside of the delivery zone (central london). I’m not sure why they are on Amazon UK if that’s the case.

I got mine off Aliexpress and Temu (got two, long story). Arrived within a week and cost about £20 each. I couldn't find anywhere in the UK that sold them at a reasonable price.

It’s really easy. Took me less than 5 mins to do mine. i have drive on and off, modulation on and off, patch up and patch down. The only reason i change patches is because you can only have one type of modulation in a patch. Sometimes i want chorus, sometimes phaser. its a well thought out system. You just assign a pair of midi numbers to each foot switch. Maybe I’m missing something but I’ve had to assign a number to turn it on, and a number to turn it off for each foot switch. Easy enough to do. You can also set each switch to turn multiple blocks on and off. I have the eq block also come on when i use modulation, with a bit of low end reduction and overall level down slightly. the good thing is, becuse you are using midi CC numbers these wok across all the patches, so you you don’t have to set each one up. In fact i let my guitarist (who has just got a GP-5) use my chocolate at the last rehearsal and nothing needed adjusting for it to work. If the chocolate is powered (USB phone charger is fine), it will also power the GP-5 which is also cool.

Thanks for posting that. Looks like a really good move. Will definitely look in to this in the new year. As it happens I’ve been using my singers IE100 pro’s (with my comply foam tips) for the last two gigs. They seem to be a slightly different fit, but enough to fit a bit more securely than my IE400. I’m not giving up on the 400, as they have a slightly better sound for me, but i started to find they would come a bit loose if i smiled or shouted across the stage (2 things i try not do 😎). The 100’s don’t dislodge quite as easy. Sounds like a good reason to go custom, but now it’s for which pair.

Can't watch anything that has him in it. Totally hate his personality and style. Probably a really great guy. Seems a bit of a Karen to me though.

Ive had the B2-Four 3 times now. It's really nice, and the only reason I dont have one now is it started very quickly to be a distraction, always tweaking things etc. Also I got turned on to IR's and these work better for me than the Zoom stuff at home. Ive still got a MB-60 and B1-Four, but never use them. I did have the B3n years ago. Ive also had the MB-60+ twice, but got rid of them for the same reasons above. One thing I can say about the newer versions are they do sound better. A bit cleaner and more open than the old ones. The different DI Outs on the B2-Four actually make a difference, and I found I was just that feature for a bit. Ultimately I find all these boxes seem to have a bit of sparkle missing when I use headphones, but not so much when using an amp. Im an iOS user but have never bothered with the app, other than a customary look when I got the first B2-Four. Im more a hands on guy, and I feel I need to know what's what with my gear in case im at a gig or can't use the app to make adjustments. I found the B2-Four really simple to use one I figured out what does what and where to find things. I like the extra foot switches on the B2-Four, I think they make for a more versatile pedal, especially live once you get the hang of them.

If I had mine plugged into a pedal that was mains powered, just tapping the receiver could generate noise. Saying that, this was mostly at home around my computer area so that wouldn't have helped. None of my other systems did this though.

Just be aware you may get interference for other sources. Ive got the next ones up and had to stop using them as they would pick up RF interference. They worked great most of the time, but put them near anything that was emitting RF etc and they would buzz.

Purchased a headless bass from Music Yo years ago. It got delivered to the wrong person (in the wrong city). They sent me another ones out within a few days....then the original one turned up. I guess a free bass counts? 😎
