In gear ho news, I have a Source Audio Dimension Reverb making its way to me slow as molasses from Kamloops British Columbia Canada. Not the senders fault - just the vagaries of international mail, I think. But it's been a week so far and usps updates are all like "it's in transit somewhere."

I'd like to visit Kamloops though. It looks quite lovely and has a ridiculous name.
Check Canada Post tracking too. They might have more info from when the pedal was still in Canada. When it crosses the boarded, then USPS should start getting more detailed tracking updates. That's generally how it's gone for me at least. That being said, I recently sent a package from just outside Toronto, Canada to Oklahoma and for some reason, after leaving Canada it had a quick detour through Amsterdam...because that's on the way right?

Also, Kamloops is quite nice. I've spent a little time there and in Kelowna as a bunch of my childhood friends moved out that way. I still really want to see the BC coast

Sometimes pedals are held in customs for an indefinite period when traveling from Canada to the US. Also, the USPS seems to be using "in transit" status as a vague, catch-all category as of late, especially when shipments are delayed.

I just pulled the trigger on a cheap/used Basic Audio Alter Destiny. Does anyone happen to know what Muff DNA it contains? I'm hoping for triangle.

MD: I'll let you know when I get it. DRod will be bringing it for me for ILFEU because him being my mule is way cheaper than shipping and customs fees+import taxes. So, DRod is da man! :hug:

I resisted snapping up a Cooper FX Outward, but finally gave in on a Pigtronix Quantum Time Modulator for a bargain price.

It's nice to hear that to save me from feeling I missed a chance - I listened to a number of youtube vids and decided that between two CT5s and a Particle I could replicate most of the sounds (this is probably true of a number of pedals that I sometimes think about buying ;) )

Dude, that guitar is awesome, and it went for a pretty reasonable price too. I would totally rock that thing

Will do once the Alter Destiny arrives. An older thread on TGP seems to suggest it's a hybrid design with enhanced EQ controls.

Just added a discounted Boss RV-500 to the list of incoming gadgets. This will have to be the last splurge for a bit and will probably replace a Digitech Polara.
