My extra fees in total ended up being very close to $100.

Re: Pretty Years

Not your fault Brian. It's just the weirdness and pain assoiciated with buying things from foreign lands.
Though it damned well better be worth it.

Youp. Comes with the territory. Here, some parcels just pass through customs and I don't have to pay shit. Sometimes it works if the parcel is marked as a gift, other times the seller has put a low value on the invoice/import papers, other times not...it just happens randomly.
Not your fault or problem, Brian. Just venting.

Re: Pretty Years
yeah i know it still bums me out. i've sent things through differently all of the time with high hopes for folks - gift, low value, return/repair, etc.UglyCasanova wrote:Youp.

Another one bites the dust. Weird that they don't post any actual pics and use the mock-up from before it was finalized.
I can't imagine parting with mine. I only got about 20 minutes with it the day it came in and it was blowing my mind. I'm about to have a few days off and I can't wait to sit down and really dive in.

FUUUUUCKING Royal Mail. They have it, but they can't track it for some reason.
Anyone got any videos or clips of them using the pedal?

Re: Pretty Years
Hey everyone.
I'm not very familiar with using the cv control and was curious if anyone knew of an affordable pedal/option to use to plug into the pretty years? It sounds like it would be a fun option to play with but I don't have modular type stuff.
I'm thinking of just using a 9 volt battery and a pot as a voltage divider to run into it to try it out.
Thanks.

Try out an EHX 8 Step. If I remember correctly, 8 Step does 0-5V which is perfectly fine for PY and will let you do more complicated stuff than just an expression pedal.Timv wrote:Hey everyone.

He probably used stupid filter settings that cut off essential frequencies.Strange Tales wrote:zeravla wrote:https://reverb.com/item/2971170-smallsound-bigsound-pretty-years-pedal-2016-custom
