I won't "beat around the bush", I'll come straight out with it, I'm selling my TLSE. 
I'm actually hoping to sell it to the other guitarist in one of the bands I'm in, so I'll still see Big Blue on a regular basis. If he doesn't want it, I'll stick in on the 'bay.
I'm changing to a pedalboard-based rig. Still going through the Atomic.
I find that I can get individual effects pedals which, for me, are better than the equivalent effects in the TLSE. I lose a lot of flexibility this way, but it suits me as I really only use a couple of different sounds with varying amounts of delay anyway.
So I won't be hanging out much here at tonelab.net anymore. It would seem a bit strange anyway I suppose if I did as I won't have a tonelab.
I want to say how much I've enjoyed meeting you guys here. It's such a nice, civilised virtual hang-out. I shall miss you.
God bless you all !
Alan

Its been a pleasure to 'know' you - at least electronically. I've always appreciated your input on this site. Good luck with the new rig!

Don't think you are not
Sat, 2007/08/04 - 11:38am — GT350Don't think you are not welcome just because you don't have a tonelab anymore. I for one have also enjoyed hearing about the quest to find your new guitar and listening to your song demos too. Don't be a stranger. I'd like to know what pedals you end up with in your rig. Might I suggest a Boss DD-20 delay pedal. I had one before I got my TLSE and loved it! I would have kept it if I didn't need the cash to pay for my TLSE.

That's huge news, but I know where you are coming from.
Keep us in the loop as far as your new pedal board.
See you around at the stompbox forum.
