Pedals are fun and it's important to experiment. I've bought some pretty crappy pedals in my time, but I've also bought some pieces that are awesome, only one way to find out if it's right for you. Not to mention, even test driving it isn't always the best. For me, I've had what I thought were great pedals, but when brought them into the band settings, I noticed they weren't cutting the mustard, or I wasn't using them for whatever reason. I also don't like to sell stuff either (but sometimes you have to). Nothing like recording and remembering you had that phaser or delay, etc. laying around, so you pull it out to see how it'll work for that weird lead tone you're looking for. Done that a lot.

The deal was just too good to pass up and I didn't really want to spend $200+ anyway. However I'm not that worried because when I was trying to narrow down my fuzz choices, the Keeley was my favorite based on sound clips on YouTube. If I end up not liking the Keeley, I got it at a good enough price that I could re-ebay it and get my money back (if not a little extra.) .-= NeverTooLateGuitar´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NeverTooLateGuitar/~3/McL_UhYEyII/" rel="nofollow">EHX Big Muff Pi vs Analogman Sun Face NKT 275</a> =-.

You might also want to check out the Fulltone 69. That's a great fuzz pedal. I’ve heard great things about Analogman, never played one personally. You might also want to check out the Fulltone 69.

I think that 1973 model is the best. I believe that is the first year. Funny how all things evolve.. for good or bad. Thanks for commenting! Hello NeverTooLateGuitar

I agree. I think that 1973 model is the best. I believe that is the first year. Funny how all things evolve.. for good or bad.

It sounds the warmest of them all to me. It sounds more bluesy while the others sounded more metal. I didn't really like the Little Big Muff. I don't have any effects, but this could be my first. But, I guess I need to start looking for a 1973 version. But the video just makes me wonder how much difference there would be from a '73 to '74 and so on. What year did they first come out? .-= NeverTooLateGuitar´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NeverTooLateGuitar/~3/iz_Er-UBKaM/" rel="nofollow">What’s Going On Here?</a> =-.
