A lot of people mod their pedaltrains (and other pedalboards) to take power supplies that wouldn't fit otherwise. AFAIK it's a very simple process, which just involves cutting out a small part of some of the metal so that the power supply can be slotted in the gap, using a dremel tool. You will be able to do this yourself, with the appropriate equipment, or if you don't fancy that then there are people who will do it for you, but you'd have to look into the cost. Also, the only people that I know of that will do such mods are not to be found in the UK, they are mostly in the US.

The bypass on mine is perfectly good, never noticed it deteriorating the sound in any way. It's a newer model though. Regarding position, since it involves tracking, I put it at the very start of my signal chain, with the exception of a tuner pedal.

Ah the hop farm..... Congrats mate.

Hi Sam, Welcome! It's a nice friendly place so no need to be shy. What are you planning for the skull and crossbones bass?

Well if you are going to be gigging that much then you may well find that the polytune is worth it, I guess you need to decide if tuning at lightning pace is really that crucial or whether you'd sooner keep hold of the money (less what you would presumably sell the pitchblack for).

I have an MXR Phase 90 on my board and organic and lush is exactly how I would describe it. Plus, it looks the business. On the other hand, it is a 1 knob pedal, and while I find this perfectly good and would not want more controls on it, there's no denying that other pedals are more tweakable.

Exactamundo. And I think you meant 4 out of 5 I jest of course.

If you don't have a tuner pedal then go for it by all means, but it's not THAT much of an upgrade that you actually need to replace your current tuner with it.

Well the polytune is obviously better but if you already have a perfectly good tuner do you really [i]need[/i] the polytune?

If you're going to post a lot of pics of a cardboard box, sticjer, velcro pads and the underside of the pedal, do they really have to be so damned huge? Little 400 px sq would have been sufficient really. Then all the pics could just go on one page. Review - good stuff (bought one now I think they are the coolest tuner ever) but with all these pics I cannot believe you have not posted a few showing the most important part, the various display modes![/quote] The pictures are small on my page, no idea why they would be any bigger on anyone elses. Also, this is just the size that photobucket has made them in any case. My sincerest apologies to all for this 'nonsense', I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail of TC Electronic in this case and would be more likely to purchase from them in the future because of this, but was obviously wrong in thinking that other people would be interested. I will remove the offending content. EDIT: Sorted, hope this is more to everyones liking.
