Hi all. 

Just working out the details, but will be running a tourbox for Bad Penny Fx, who are fantastic UK builders.  This will be similar to the tourboxes in format ran for Thorpyfx. 

Essentially, I will post them out to you, you can try for 7 days and then send to the next person on the list.  No cost, no need to purchase, all that's asked for is an honest review. Once the tour is over, the last person sends to me and I return to the makers.

 @Wazmeister ran, something similar before and  Wazmeister has generously said I can use his text and rules etc, so just getting it all together, and then i will put it up on here.
Looking at 5 pedals in the tourbox, lots of fuzz etc to try, here
 is the website for the makers www.badpennyfx.com/ check them out on Instagram as well.

Truly amazing pedals, the Fuzz Controller is a great fuzz, very versatile and truly great design as well. 

Here is the question, which pedals would you like to try from the website ? 

Tourbox rules.


A Tourbox is where a collection of  pedals are sent out, for you to try and review.
There are no fees involved, but there are insured shipping costs to the next person.

Naturally, there is a degree of vetting (if that's the right word) and accountability.

The rules below are the same for the most part from the Thorpy tourbox, and are pretty straightforward I hope. 

1.) IN ORDER TO TAKE PART, WE WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING FROM YOU PLEASE. JUST PM ME. (update - I have most people address and names, if you can also provide real names, email address and mobile number, thanks Pete)

i. forum name
ii. real name
iii. address
iv. email
v. mobile phone number


2.) Here are the 'rules';

Qualifications and rules of the Tourbox are listed below.

- Keep the pedals for no more than one week

 (barring any delays such as pedal tune-ups, additions, etc.)...
please do your best to adhere to this time limit. If something comes up on your end, please PM

Please handle them with care and report any type of suspected malfunction/excessive cosmetic wear to me ASAP via PM.

- Before sending the Tourbox on to the next participant, please PM him/her to verify address and to give a heads-up. I will provide the details

- When you've finished with the pedals, please send to the next participant via an insured and track-able method, Bad Penny did a quote and it looks to be around £15 - 20 with Parcelforce which is really good price, there are 5 pedals to try.

Also if you could take a photo of the pedals before sending so we know they are in good condition in case of a claim that needs to be made to Parcelforce.

For fun if you could take a photo of yourself with the pedals/box we will make a collage of everyone after

 The best postage format is Parcel force, tracked and insured for £100. Please cover this cost of the postage as if there isn't any tracking you would be responsible for the full RRP of the pedals.
so please play it safe and insure!, the £100 insurance is an arbitrary amount as we wanted to send as many pedals without the insurance cost being too high, A uninsured/lost package will cost the full RRP of these pedals is the £10/ cover is not taken. 

You may hand the Tourbox off in person if you're able. If sending, please supply the recipient and me with tracking info! Also...please KEEP your mailing receipt until you know that the next person has received the Tourbox.

 Agree to provide a written review and/or demo of these pedals. You can post in this thread or on social media or start a new thread for the review and please tag Bad Penny when you do so.

Huge thanks to @Badpennyfx for letting us try the pedals and to all of you for taking part

We have both been very happy with the amount of people asking to try, please be patient for the pedals as there is a good amount of you, I will update the thread with a list of who is on the tour and what order.

    Happy Sunday all, have 8 people for the tourbox now, would you like to try the pedals out for free ?  Looking for a few more before I get this started.

    It looks like the amount of pedals will be increased due to comments and messages, so at least 4 pedals now, possibly more.

    If your interested can you post here or PM me
