Lovepedal ‘Sale’

[Spaced Out Ace]

Broke a white Zendrive Squared yesterday I was trying to fix the footswitch on because the PCBs fit too tight in the case, so that's awesome. Especially since it was $300 and I didn't play it that much. Oh well, to the trash it goes.

What's actually broken? Could it be fixable?

At least one of the pots broke. I don't think they could've made the PCB fit in tighter in the case if they tried. Pretty fucking annoying to remove it, disassemble the footswitches, reassemble them after cleaning small, fiddly parts, put it back together, and a pot breaks off.

That sucks. Might be worth fixing if there's anyone near you who can have a look? Definitely worth selling as parts rather than binning it if you don't feel like paying someone to fix it.

It's already in the kitchen garbage can, so... whatever. My luck and irritation level lately has been really getting on my last nerve.

ie, a guitar on backorder "oh, it'll be two weeks, but it still has to go through customs, etc." Okay, that isn't a "two week timeframe" thing, and you know it, so why even say it. That is more like 4-8 weeks, and I appreciate the BS from Sweetwater, but I'm not stupid. This is of course after 2 weeks of it saying it'd be there around this time frame. I doubt Indonesia/Korea has even shipped them yet.

Got a couple vids shot tonight, I’m going to make a couple moe tomorrow with the Dovers in various setups. I had to get a new phone last weekend and since the newer iphone was dirt cheap due to my plan I snagged that and some new video editing software I can use on both the iPhone and my iPad, these will be my learner vids.

The first two vids I shot were using the Plexi50 as a clean platform, but then I wanted to just have fun and cranked the amp to 8 on the Treble channel, which gets those those getting into some fuzz territories-

Strat w/ EJ pickups- Plexi50-SuhrRL-AxeFX-Logic

First time I play the lick it’s just the amp’s dirt, then I kick on the GE, at the audio gap I switch to the BC558.

First Dover vid is done-

They both sound good, may come down to a feel thing. Fwiw, I always preferred a Ge FF. The older 90's red version I have is currently in non-working form so that will be a later project.
Btw, my Dover drive should be here Friday.

Yeah, there’s not a huge gap between them at all, though I’d say the BC558’s top end would make it much more versatile than the OG Dover.

For now I’m preferring silicon but I’ll be anxious to try everything over time. I know the temperature sensitivity of GE doesn’t thrill me, but I also haven’t played one through a blaring Marshall yet and that can change a lot of things really quickly.
