Thanks guys. Later perhaps Poundhound. It was only delivered on Tuesday.

Still coming to grips with all its setting variables, I'm currently in foot finesse Kindy playing with applying it with musicality[u].[/u] I like the optical 'mech'. I also like that there are lots of inexpensive 'how to' electrical mods for it on You Tube too for the adept. I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron and have all the necessary SMT soldering kit. For now, I'm very happy with how it sounds.

Acquisition was inspired by an acquaintance who was gifted one by his wife a short while ago, so when the occasion of my anniversary coincided with spotting a HB01 at a too good to resist opportunity buy price, GAS couldn't resist. Prices of this kind if gear in AU are much higher than in the US, so I like to extend my gear budget by buying when a favourable price opportuity presents.

I like Behringer kit. Solid reliable performance at sane price points.

P.S. I also bought a new guitar. First electric in over 12 months. I ordered it on Tuesday, but left the announcement so as not to steal from William MG office amp and Jeff65s' new guitar show 'n tell thunder.

It should be with me by mid-next week for a show & share the excitement pronouncement. It's a purchase I'd been mulling over on my 'scratch the itch' triage list for about a year. I would have preferred to have left the spend until mid-year after my recent amp purchases, but the brand along with another I favour have instituted massive across the board price increases within the past three months which have already flowed onto affect street r/etail, so I decided to act now regardless. That said, the plan is to discipline myself to single new guitar purchase this calendar year. This is it. I fits a tonal/type need. Mystery guitar reveal coming soon.
