Unimpressed with the Unbuffer and Morningstar

Well, it’s at least one trim pot.

I’ve adjusted I dunno how many trim pots on various pedals and guitar gadgets, I’ve never owned a specific tool for doing so. I didn’t even know they existed. I think it’d be ideal if this loopswitcher required a specific tool to adjust them it’d state as much in the manual. Maybe a “”HEY! Don’t use the tool that you use on EVERY OTHER TRIM POT! Buy this-“

No, depending on the circuit you can short stuff with a metal screw driver and damage parts with static electricity etc, but who f'in cares, right?

Does that make it less of a reason to put a warning alongside the trim pot instructions?

Seller wrote back saying no problem and apologized for the experience (which I don’t even feel they’re responsible for, so that’s appreciated) and to just initiate a return with Reverb. He said it’d be faster for me to just purchase a new one with the returned funds than it would be for me to wait for them to send it to Morningstar to do the whole return process, which is certainly logical and I have no problems with.

I’m going to give the non-buffered MLR a shot. I also plan on picking up a Big Monk Pompeii, which apparently has a resistor built into the pedal so it’ll play nice…..maybe the guts will fit in a Fuzz Face shell.

Really glad to hear they didn’t give you any trouble! That’s a good seller.

I’ll be curious to hear how the ML5 works for you. I have a hunch that could be the ticket to making this work

Me too, after the VP4 experience with Reverb I definitely had some concerns.

I initiated the Return (Note- This is now the Request A Refund tab at Reverb, even if it’s just a return/exchange) and the seller made it super easy, sent me a message with all the information and I got a separate email with a return label at no cost to me.

Excellent resolution process so far!
