fun to be had there methinks. I am not sure about the practicality at a gig but there are some things it could be useful for when recording.

I'll bet Tom Morello will get one of these.

thats cool, but what exactly is it? I'm a little confused, I couldnt find a clear description of what it is on the site. Is it some kind of stereo tremolo with an expression pedal, or is it more?

I believe it works a bit like an on/off switch.

Somehow I thought of you, Hayden, when I found this pedal. :roll:

I have to confess, I am interested. I have been listening to a lot of wierd stuff of late, and getting some more odd pedals interests me. I just worry that people will laugh at me for having like 12 pedals or whatever; all the stigma that it carries. I don't really know if i can justify it either...

I did check it out......but I think you'll only get the most out of it with a stereo setup.....anyway, I'm gasing for a Univibe....

its another one of those effects that is pretty kewl, but i'd never actually spend money on it!!! i might use that on one song in every few hundred. and i'd never use it to practice with  :?  its like something you'd play with in the shop, but never actually consider

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your enquiry.

I think you will find the answers to your questions in the attached.

You will get the best results from the Chopper if it is last in the chain.  This
gives the best signal to noise ratio, especially if you have a lot of gain on
your pedal board.  The Chopper can accept reasonably high inputs without
clipping.  It is a mono in and stereo out device, so that might be another
consideration.  To be honest, it is not that sensitive to placement.

You should be able to find the Chopper at Music Ground in Denmark St in London
tel 0207 836 5354.  Let me know if they are sold out or not.  We are working on
expanding our dealer network.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best Regards
Jeff Purchon
President and CEO.

the attatched file he sent, a small .pdf file, is here:

I have checked the website of Music Ground; and can't find it on there. I shall email them and try and find a price, out of interest.
