Hi guys I just received my Digitech Bad Monkey Overdrive.
Brand New Condition.  Box - Manuals & all paperwork.  Made in USA, they have moved their production to China I think.
It even came with a coffee stain on the bottom of the box, the coffee was free I think.  And the postage was within reason. 
Unfortunately it's a little bit too late in the evening, to Spank The Bad Monkey,   (I think there's a pun in there somewhere) I will just have to wait till tomorrow evening, when I get home from work.

Hi StratoSphere!! My wife's an on call nurse & she worked a all night shift, last night, which means she went to bed extra early this evening.
For me, that means, I have to wait another night, before I can spank the Bad Monkey.  But tommorow!!!!       
This pedal is supposed to be made with surface mount components? I'll take it apart & have a look, BUT after I play it... It gets some great reviews

Hi guys The GAS is really bad here tonight. I just won another old Boss CE-2 Chorus, it was a BIN, I stumbled over it just as it was posted, So I GAS'ed it. 
It looks in very good condition, not too many signs of paint chips. Some can be pretty bad, like the one I won last week.
It currently lives in Sunny Queensland Austalia. Adoption papers are being transfered by Ebay, so it can come & live happily with us here in Melboure. I hope they ship it with some warmer clothing, as it's a bit cooler down here. 
I can now finally do a 3 channel - Boss CE-2 Tri Chorus mix.

Hi lost_in_sound It's a good feeling, when you purchase a new pedal & it just all comes together.   
I sometimes buy stuff untested, just so I can go home & be surprised, as to what sounds I can coax out of them?

| When I buy stuff on internet I don't try it before. Well, I've done once, When I bought a 79' MXR Distortion + I went to a store.. But that pedal were so old and did not sound anything like the one I got. Today I got a NF-1 and I've never tried it. |

No I missed it, that was Sunday sometime, I was doing other things. Do you know the person that won it? 
But last night. I did win a BIN CE-2 Green Label almost no marks - Ebay & the seller are doing the adoption papers, so I might see it Friday, or Monday next week. It's the second one I managed to find, over the past fortnight.   Still haven't had a chance to play the Bad Monkey. 
What about you did you buy anything?

| Finally got an SD-2! I think I'm gonna slow down on the buying for a while. At least I tell myself that. My parents think I'm crazy or something. Hahaha. |
