I finally made a decision. It was either a Holy Grail or Hall of Fame.

I picked the Holy Grail Nano 59.00 used GC. I researched issues with the two pedals. It seems people had issues with the HOF switches more than problems with the HG. Most of the HG issues were related to daisy chaining power supplies. I don't have much extra money right now, but I needed a new reverb. I think they are both great pedals, but I like to keep my pedals for decades.

I am a pedal slut. I have a problem and can't stop buying. Realizing you have a problem is the first step, isnt it?

My pedal addiction brought me close to getting a ms-50g. I ended up with a Digitech RP 360 for some reason.

I used to have a Zoom 507, a really old pedal/doohicky. I think I lost it, or just can't find it. Very cool for what it was.
 
I'm glad to hear it's working for you. Many people seem to like/love it.

Shortly after getting back into guitar in 1979, my friend and I would jam on an old Ampeg amp with a spring tank. My friend won't give up the tapes. I evidently loved the pentatonic scale. Sounded like 60s hippie music. He used his new Fender bass. I love the spring setting obviously! !

You're right. All these pedald do is emulate this or that. If you can, why not go for the real thing. They say fuzz emulates a torn speaker. Now that would be going a little too far for me.

Accutronics tank sitting inside the bottom of the amplifier.

...unless you wanna lug around the Grand Canyon that is.

You didn't hear .............Danelectro is bringing out the Grand Canyon LIGHT it's only the size of Manhattan....much easier to carry :)
 
Sorry to hear that. I read many stories like that. Also I heard their customer service stinks.

Yea, but it has a plastic case and lousy pots!

I agree, mt Mesa has a tiny reverb tank that mounts inside the chassis and is worthless, which is why I needed a reverb pedal.
The BOSS Fender Reverb pedal FRV-1 does sound as much as an Accutronics tank as you can get I believe.

In my case their customer service was fine, and it did become operational again when I downloaded new firmware, but that didn't help me when I was on stage and if it had have been the mini version (without a USB port) it would have been a different story.
 
Some butt head put that pedal on your nice guitar! Very F ing insensitive. Nice pedal and I hear they are very good.
 
Great little pedal, Chubbles - glad you're enjoying it.

I wouldn't trust a TC Electronic pedal as far as I could throw it

I'm with Dave on this. I know folks like their TC pedals, but I've owned quite a few and won't be buying any more. I consider MXR, Boss and others to be similar prices and just better all round. EHX are great value pedals and always bring their A game.
