    Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips uses that Boss effects pedal. It must be good. Apparently durable.

    It takes some time to figure it out, but it's not too hard to use. To make it more easy, you can connect the Boss to the PC. This allows you to download patches from the internet, this gave me a headstart for the U2 sounds on my Boss since there are some patches available online. Otherwise you can contact me . Sergio talked about Edo and the Axe fx2, it is a unit that I dream of but since it is about 1500 euros I'll have to stick with my cheaper Boss (bought it second hand 150 euros). Perhaps Edo wants to give you some tips on the sound, I'll be very interested as well if he and you want to share this. Good luck with your choice, and for questions about the Boss gt-8 you can always ask for more info here.

    Cheers man. Appreciate it. I contacted Edo last night but he says he only deals with the Axe. Yes any tip you could give me will be greatly appreciated.

    Whops sorry, I really thought contacting Edo was the best alternative
  6. No not all mate I appreciate any sort of feedback whatsoever.
  7. May he rest in peace! Jim Dunlop's are the only picks I ever played until I got a set of 500 blue Herdims a decade back which still lasts... But Dunlop's are still lying around and get quite a lot of playing time when Herdims don't fit the bill. May Jim rest in peace knowing how much happiness he has spread around the world.
  8. Has any one got the tc shimmer pedal on here? I've had problems trying to plug mine in as in nothing happens aswell. But with a battery its fine but that doesn't last long at all. Has anyone else had these issues
