Count down till the end of this months guitar pedal give away. whoo-hoo, great job guys! :sweet:

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

May 1st brings us to a close for G-M's guitar pedal give-away contest. Looks like everyone did really well, and some got slaughtered :biggrin:

If my math is right, the winners are as follows:

1st place = Brian Krashpad with 1280 points
2nd place = Characterzero with 1010 points
3rd place = Redline68 with 980 points
4th place = Floydmoline with 920 points

It's easier for me to ship your pedals if you submit your mailing address here, otherwise just send me a PM of your address where you want your pedal shipped.

1st through 3rd will pick their pedal starting with Brian. And, of course, Floyd gets the pedal nobody else wants... but I'm he'll take it :biggrin:

Everyone did a great job for this months Gear-Monkey Pedal Give-Away, we thank you! And congrats to our four Gear-Monkey winners! :w:

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

congrats to the winners.... :w:

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

Awsome!! I won bronze! I'd like to thank gear-monkey, the director, the casting coordinator, the stunt coordinator, my stunt double, the key grip,................

:w:


PM on the way. I am already registered with the gear vault.

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

Awesome! Turns out I guess I got the scoring wrong and thought I was going up against everyone's total posts to date. But this is cool... maybe I have a shot at the Tubescreamer! I'd like to thank this site for putting on a contest like this, very cool, and it certainly worked to make the site busier.

Again thanks! I'll pm shipping stuff soon.

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

i'd prefer the Digitech Grunge, but i don't get a choice LOL. as far as the slam punk goes if anyone wants it, i can repair it before sandman ships it since i only live ~15 miles away heh when i go "pick-up" my winnings i can repair it, so don't let the 9V snap being missing sway your choice

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

if someone wants the slam punk, and wants me to NOT fix it that is ok too hehe

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

Tube Screamer, I claim thee!

(Sorry, Character Zero.)

Thanks to everyone and this cool site.

PM sent and gear-vault registration completed.

PS-- what was the mod done to the Tube Screamer? Not that I know anything about that stuff. Just good to know for reference. (I'm a plug and play non-modder guy.)

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

Right on.

Brian gets the Tube Screamer. The mod consist of a JRC4558 TS chip mod. It's a very favorable mod indeed.

Characterzero gets the Digitech Grunge

Redline gets the DOD Classic Tube

Floyd gets the Ibanez Grunge.

:sweet:

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest

Congrats to all.

The extra talk generated is itself a reward.

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

I got my pedal today, right on my 50th birthday!

Thanks again peeps. :w:

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

i got the slam punk yesterday.......... i have to say i am slightly impressed with it, for a plastic "punk" ibanez pedal this thing actually sounds effin awesome...... washburn super strat + slam punk + marshall DSL401 = van halen's first album tone....... nice NICE rock tones.

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

heh as a siddde note whilst repairing the 9V battery plug i decided to take a gander on what they had going on in the "slam punk", first side of the 4558 is the input gain stage that cascades into a back to back diode shunt to ground followed by the 2nd half of the 4558, not your standard ibanez TS because the diodes go to ground not in the feedback loop, so it's got the responsiveness of a SD-1 / TS style pedal but a bit more gain it's not too unlike a SD-1 really but the color is a little different i think due to a symetrical clipping instead of asymetric...... all in all it's a useful pedal, nice tone, only down fall really is the plastic case, not because it's plastic or isn't strudy (it actually seems quite rugged for a plastic case) but because it has NO sheilding at all and is noisy as hell, if it were re-housed in a metal case i'd say it's one of my favorite pedals........

Re: Official: Aprils Free Guitar Pedal Give-Away Contest
 

Oh yeah! I also received my pedal a few days ago. It's cool, but I think the switch is about gonzo. It's alright though, I'm going to try replacing and see how it goes. It'll be a fun project. :2thumbups:
