Thorpy Veteran

Aye it certainly was pleasing to the ears.

Ive been using the rangemaster side into the Dreambox as well which again sounds very good.

I think tomorrow I will swap the order to try them the other way around then I could use the distortion side of dreambox into the Veteran.

The plan is to go KHDK Ghoulscreamer/Dreambox/Veteran/Deco into front and then in the loop it's Elec Miss Clone/EVH Phase 90/Belle Epoch/Levitation.

Should be me vaguely sorted.

Cool. I'd love to hear also anyone trying it through a 5e3 style amp

How are we getting on with these Adrian. I'm getting ready to do a vid of all your pedals with proper audio

We are getting through them nicely now. Another 12 went out today and another 12 will go out tomorrow. The guitar show slowed this build down a touch but we are back on it with gusto.

Looking forward to the added 'gusto'

It did indeed which certainly didn't make me feel any better

Is it fussy about buffers or does the boost side activate first

It needs to see your pickups, I.e. It's not a fan of buffers at all. I wanted to make it as true to the vintage sound as possible, this required the interaction and cleanup you get from rolling back your volume control.

At the risk of me sounding like a fool what would you say that I may have on my board which is a buffer @ThorpyFX ;

can't remember whats on your board, its only an issue if you don't place the pedal first in the chain. it appears though that the veteran is ok with Class A buffers such as the ones used in cornish pedals.

I didn't mean to sound specific about my board but one's board I meant i.e. an average persons likely board. But first in the chain is good. Thanks @ThorpyFX ....... not that I'm getting a veteran but just interested LOL

Be interesting to see how it deals with the wireless receiver ... if not I'll run ye olde fashioned cable into it 
probably not a live pedal for me. More a recording one

I run a wireless system too. I never thought that that could be a problem ?

Great. I look forward to hearing your review through your Louis @wellsyboy ;; Especially if you are using a wireless set up as I am. I'm concerned that I may have a problem if I did.

That goes for anyone else trying it through a wireless system . Do share to put my mind at rest

EDIT: Makes me think that maybe I should go back to being wired again rather than wireless

Ok, I'm getting impatient (probably due to me now being on holiday for a few days with nothing planned!)
@Thorpyfx, how far are you through the orders now?
