Ain't that the truth! but people are wising up.. I can't believe the number of people asking me to find 230v plugpacks for Boss stuff they got from ebay :lol:

yeah ... pity the exchange rate isn't what it used to be a few months ago :-(

Live in europe! The Euro is strong against the dollar last time I checked :twisted: but with all these eastern european countries joining like Turkey, one million Turkish lira is worth about 50$cents, so the values gonna plummet to the floor Can't anyone do something about the British pound? It's worth too much :mrgreen:

heya im not complaing lol. im sitting around untill i have a job in summer and i have some cash. then im just gonna start buying pedals from the US

[loki]

yea i live in italy and have always bought pedals from music123 saving serious cash, getting them delivered in 3 working days!  
screw boss, buy digitech x-series stompboxes, they're the shit...
and if you're looking for a tuner pedal consider the Korg DT10, it costs the same as the Boss TU2 and it's better in my opinion... check for it!
bye!

X-series :shock: They're.... digital!!! *shudders* Not my style, I like Boss, but I really love those nameless pedals that no-one's heard of. They're the pedals that have real mojo about them I bought a chorus by KOD (who's KOD?) and it is a sweet chorus... with mojo

Some Boss pedals are digital

I haven't tried an X-Series, but I've heard great things about some of them (delay in particular) and not-so-great things about others (compressor, distortion)

woodwind brasswind appears to ship internationally maybe give them a try. http://www.wwbw.com/Boss-TU2-Chromatic-Pedal-Tuner-i67057.music?match=1

To tell the truth I have a digital Boss DD-2 and it's great! If you ask me, digital is really great when it comes to delay and reverb, but other effects lack greatly. They just have to be analog. Oh, polyphonic octavers are pretty good when they're digital

Fortunately for me, just on one in a million in the USA buy from me in Australia! Exclusive or what!! :lol:
What is annoying, is how many US companies won't sell to Australia (I'm not talking ones that have local agents, either! God Bless SmallBear!)

I had an ICE 'X' Chorus, digital for a day. Sounded alot brighter and also louder in the store, but I opted instead to purchase the BOSS Super Chorus, which for use which other effects, in my case was judged to be more usable. It also sounded and warmer.
 X did one thing: 'deep depth chorus W/great focus', the BOSS did another thing "sounded warmer and accepted varying input more gracefully", other than both being chorus's, there were profound differences.
