Just got the old, "Yeaah, about that...." email from Andertons. Kongpressor not available until 24th March, and Freqout has an undisclosed availability, so their website is a bit misleading. But I have faith they'll sort something out, good lads that they are.

"Chappers" will probably drop it off himself.

BearBoy wrote:Another one from EHX:
Operation Overlord – Stereo Overdrive
The Operation Overlord is a Stereo Overdrive pedal that will work really well for keys players or if you use loads of stereo effects or a dual amp setup. It’s got an active EQ for easy tone-dialling and a dry blend so that you can add small amounts of drive to your signal if you want to keep clarity on your instrument.
The Operation Overlord has also got an active boost for more gain when playing guitar solos or you need to be heard in that noisy mix.
Doesn't seem to be on the EHX website yet (that blurb is from the Andertons website).
Still not on the EHX website but here's a picture:

Dunno if this is sarcasm or not, but I've only nice things to say about Andertons atm.

They've been good when I've dealt with them too. Although your Strat story is maybe them taking things a little far.

Always had good customer service from them, and having lived a town over as a teenager, I'd go there every other Saturday to buy tat and try stuff out. They'd let you pick anything off the shelf without really asking (tried all sorts of expensive Gibsons, PRS and Fenders) and go to a practice room, knowing full well we couldn't afford half of it. No supervision or knocks on the door or sales patter. It was ace. Much love.

I already have a few delays, but the EHX Canyon Delay is pretty interesting to me. A bunch of delays, a reverb, and a looper for $140.

So much in one little pedal, and if I didn't have a delay I liked then I'd consider getting one for just the tap tempo + Run liek Hell Lite DMM/tape parameters.

Actually Chappers is no longer set up for drone deliveries now that he's chopped the locks :( stand and spin as he might, there's just no lift anymore

FreqOut arrived today. Great fun and simple to use. One setback is it needs a signal to trigger the effect so you can't just leave it always on. Still working it out though.

How are you getting on with the FreqOut George?

Did you get the Rubberneck and Kongpressor too?

Sorry haven't checked back in as I've been away, nor have I had much more time with the freqout. Right before I left the kongpressor arrived. First time I've had controls for attack and release which can get some pretty nice tones especially with the 12 string but need more time with it to get the best out of it.

No rubberneck yet, but that's the one I'm most excited about.
