well.... i visited the Stompbox shop yesterday, after hearing they had the new MXR bass envelope filter in stock. I can tell you i wasn't disappointed! This pedal is everything i wanted from a filter - solid, wet, adjustable, versatile etc..... within a couple of minutes, this was mine! I also got hold of the Black label chorus. It seems to be a clone of the old analogue CE5 and is the new addition to the Zakk Wylde MXR line. This thing is awesome. I have always been happist with either the CEB3 or CE5. This pedal just sounds great. Lots of control, but the basic voice of the pedal is really sweet. I'll post some more thoughts later once i've had a good chance to really spend some time / shows with these. Apologies for shonky iphone pics!

gunsfreddy - i don't have facility to do demos unfortunately mate, and I'm still playing with sounds. I managed to get a reasonable flea ish tone from it in the shop, but that definitely bears further investigation. Which Zender tone are you after? any songs in particular?

I got one from effectspowersupplies - their shop- yesterday. It really is as good as it seems. I'd given up on finding a filter that I really liked and it turns the m82 is that filter for me! Richard warned me whilst I was there that those that try it buy it, and he was right! -------------------- "His pedalboard runneth over!" "lets just say your dream tone is a perfect burp (stay with me) but you can't aford a nice mouth to make a burp and all your working with is a bum. at the end of the day, you can tweak, turn, spin, add, subtract, shine and kiss your bum but no matter how hard you try the end result will still be a fart." - pinched from TB! endorsing artist: Dean guitars

i believe roland do a set

hi Richard / Jim, hoped you'd chime in here! do you also have the other new mxr stuff? looking to head up your way soon, and spend some time playing with loads of your stock- definitely including this!

according to the MXR / dunlop rep, there won't be any in this country until at least november, and the retail will be in the region of £180! They wonder why so many people buy from the states!?!

can't quite read their tag line under the logo though - "the supreme c**ts of rock and roll" maybe?

a fatfinger might help. it helps to eliminate issues with dead spots

the only problem i find with changing the position you play relative to the beat is that with an inexperienced drummist, they end up either speeding up or slowing thinking that they are behind or ahead - whichever is appropriate!

i've eeked a set of elixirs out for over a year before. They really do last exceptionally well

from what i recall - there was nothing to be ashamed of mate!

i have the mxr 6 band - great size wise, but balancing the on/off signal is a bit of a challenge, i also have the boss - dependable, solid, good frequency choices there's the Chord one, same pretty much as the GLX mentioned above - almost identical to the boss, but i got mine new for £20. but the best i have is the Trace one. 18v power, preset shape and slider activation switches, a beautiful sounding eq - meaning i love what it does to my sound with the two sections combined

Been gassing for one of these for ages. Just waiting for one at the right price sounds absolutely huge through a decent rig with the sound set just perfectly. I thought I was the only one!

I'm already out

i'm looking for a complete score for the rocky horror show, anyone?

with your jap boss pedals in mind, these are pricey but might be ideal - [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/6488-stage_trix_sf_1_pedal_fastener_3_pack"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/64...fastener_3_pack[/url]
