...been all excited to get a new pedal that you've been GAS'n for (or any new gear) and obessively track the package every couple hours to see where it is.... to find out that it's been sitting in your city for a day and hasn't been put on the truck for delivery yet? ARRRRGGGG!!!

This is happening to me right now with my Barber Small Fry. I've been tracking it all the way from NJ to Reno--which only took 4 days--to find that it got here to Reno last night...and wasn't delivered today. Darn USPS! Bummer. Oh well, one more day won't kill me I guess.

Haha, my buddy works for UPS, and sometimes he loads my area's truck and texts me saying my gear is put on the truck and will be there that day. HAH Sometimes he draws inappropriate things on the box with the wax pencil before he puts it in the truck too, so I come home to a box with a huge pecker on the side.

Absence might make the heart grow fonder, but delayed gratification due to you pee (on) uS will produce sounds a lot less pretty and a lot longer than a delay pedal set at 1 second...

I track because there is a house one street over with my same house number, and the delivery guys have made the mistake in the past of confusing the two.

Oooooh that happened to me with about $900 of car audio equipment once... It got pawned before I realized what had happened, but a few days going between the pawn shop, UPS I got most of it back. (The 40 foot spool of 0 gauge and the 20 feet of 0/4 gauge Oxy free copper power cable, got scrapped quick)

I got the pedal today.... Friggin saweeeet! It has all of the BU EQ goodness in a slightly smaller one button red sparkly box. I lurve the way it sounds along with my Dyno Brain. Actually, when I run my Dyno Brain + Timmy + Small Fry it sounds good too--much more gain, but still able to hear the amp/guitar tone.
