How did you attach the pedals to the board?
Right now it's industrial strength velcro. I'm hoping that works for a while. If it doesn't, I'll probably do something like drill some small holes in some key places, and then attach them using zip ties. I do that on another board where I'm always swapping stuff out, and it seems to work pretty well. I've got the back of the board sitting up on some old amp feet I got somewhere so there's enough clearance under it the zip ties should be fine.
Hey Snarf. I nearly pulled the plug on one of those Twiggy Blues a while ago. What do you think of it?
The more I use mine, the more I like it. I still don't dig the delay on it, but the other are effects are good. The compressor does the compression thing and works as that always on boost that I seem to like. The OD isn't my favorite, but in the mix of things, it sounds good. Also, I've read where some have compared it to a TS808. To my ear, it's a good enough OD, but it doesn't really have that TS hump to it. Mine might just be weird though. The reverb seems to give it that little oomph it needs so that it doesn't sound so dry. Overall I like it.
Since I got it a couple of months ago, I've actually toyed with the idea of, for the price of it (I think I payed $65 for mine), getting a second, and just tossing it in my gear bag and leaving it just in case whatever I'm using craps out. I'd really like to A/B it with a FlyRig some day to see how much different they are. I know the FlyRig has some extra capabilities in it, but at $300 vs $65 I'm not sure that I can justify the extra $200+ on it if I'm not playing out at all. Even if I was playing out all the time, for simple gigs, I might still prefer the Twiggy Blues. After all, at its price point, if somebody dumped their drink on it and fried it, it'd be no blood no foul I'll just get another, whereas with a FlyRig, I'd be pretty dang irritated that they ruined it.
If you decide to get one, watch it on Amazon and the Sonicake website. Their website will occasionally put up a sale code that will put it down in that $70 range. That's also how I got their new power supply. They had the power supply on introductory price (like $45), and then I got to add their discount code to give me another 35 or 40% off, so got it for like $27 shipped. They list their Twiggy Blues at MSRP which is like $110, but if you can get that percentage off, it'll put it down in that $70 range. On Amazon, I've seen the Twiggy Blues run for as low as about $60 up to about $90 depending on the moment that you happen to look at the listing (because Amazon's pricing algorithms make total sense).
