Hahaha Bart,
I guess you shot yourself in the foot. In my house I talk about something I want and then a little later go out and buy it, only to find (at gift time) that I spoiled her gift idea.

:laugh: .
Actually shortly after camp mine malfunctioned and I was without it for a couple weeks until Sweetwater replaced it. They are the best; they could have made me wait until repairs were done; but I told them I needed it for an upcoming gig. They over-nighted a new one to me and I got it today.
While you are waiting for Christmas I would suggest that you watch all TC Helicon's tutorials and the one above. I realized that I wasn't really using it correctly. It has many awesome features and really does make your guitar and voice sound much better. So much so that when I was without it I thought something was wrong with my guitar and my singing.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If you have any questions about using it, please feel free to PM.
Bill
