Paco, its your turn on the BJF pedal board...

TheLuckyOnes

hey, i just want to say thanks J, i had the tourbox before Nate (username Aaronblues), and it was an incredibly fun experience for me. I also picked up my MAdProf DBD thru there, so again, much appreciated.
I couldn't tell you why the Hub's traffic is so slow, but I really appreciate that guys like Skreddy, Scotty from ProAnalog, Nate from Bumbox, and Bjorn are checking in and throwing normal chat type opinions in the mix, instead of Official Company Hype. These are the guys that everyone freaks out over on TGP or HC, but here they actually get to speak there mind, with a minimum of ass kissing in return. Refreshing.

I'm all in for more tourboxes, and I have no idea what to do with that Fender. I'll definitely take it! (15 posts i'm up to know, i believe).

I spend most of my forum time at Musictoyz, and the only difference between their forum and yours is the shop that hosts it. Their forum also has a fair amount of great builders around (Blekas from Pedalworx, Teese, Bob Sweet, Cusack, Barber) who have there heads on straight. But it's very easy to talk about the new arriving pedals. That's one thing you're not going to be able to change, unless you open a shop.....

lastly, i sell wine for a living, and you're right. There will always be a 2 buck chuck. But for people with discerning tastes, there are plenty of real choices and flavors to be sampled, discussed, enjoyed...

I'd have taken it. It's not that I'm limited by ignorance, I know all about companies like BJF, Menatone, Skreddy, etc. but I'm somewhat limited by funds. I only get what gear I can afford and most of the time, it's used Boss or MXR stuff.

We advertise heavily on all the search engines. We had ads running in 2 magazines for a year, it did nothing.

If people do not talk the advertising doesn't register.

We had a rule for the advertisers on our forum to place a link, those that did added 2% a month to our membership.

Oh well I get a new Strat

I vaguely remember clicking on a link about this, or maybe not. Which kinda illustrates your problem. Basically, there is a massive background static of advertising these days, which requires massive resources to "cut through".
Even then, people need to be looking, or will not be interested. Too many people advertising too much stuff, and a constant clamour of groooooooovy voices offering grooooooooooovy stuff means poeple are numb to it all. I know I am.
Our home web-site comes up really early on a any search related to breeding Arabian horses, which is a surprise to us. Having links popular sites seems to help that, I think, or something like that. Somehow we have our address in the right place to make the search engines tingle.

Actually, I seem to recall that I didn't bother looking, because I don't really dig Strats. I just had one for a few weeks, but sold it again, without regret. But now I know what the site is about, I'm keen to go and have a look. I too, am at the stage where I inspect fretwork etc, rather than being confused by the bling, as I was a couple of years ago.

tourbox is here and it's awesome.

I'm LOVING the Blister Agent.

It's nice to have an octavia to play with too.

The THC is one of the best chorus effects I've ever used....
