Suggestion for sticky

jtsuited

One for the mods but here goes:

Maybe everybody could post up a full list of what their using. This could be handy for knowing each other a bit better and see where everyone is coming from with their posts.
It could also start a few questions on what everyone is using

Example: i see a member with a certain setup running a certain plugin etc. and i want to find out how they are finding it etc. ?
It would be handy to be able to get their opinion and experiences with said set up/situation.

might give us a nice sense of community too.

Anyone?

Amazing really, got both from audiocity for 23 squids delivered each. Have ab'd the eq pedal with the boss eq pedal and recorded both with the same settings (should have the clips here if you are interested), they sound identical but the behringer is slightly less noisy which really suprised me, fantastic pedal! And I love the acoustic simulator, sounds awesome (Actually sounds just like my old parker with the piezo's turned on, will post clips up on request).

Only drawbacks would be the plastic construction (allthough to be fair it seems sturdy enough) and the a/c input is slightly akward to have on the side if you have a group of pedals packed tightly beside each other on a board.
