And yeah Brad, all the stuff can be overwhelming but it's great to have so much to choose from and it's fun researching.

I've bought a lot of gear in the last 9 months. (I'll post the list below. Had the two Taylors for the last 10 years. Everything else is new, except for the Ric w/is 5 years old, and all was bought starting the end of this January).

The only disappointments were the Dunlop Octavio/Fuzz (not sure if it's dorked or not; maybe I'm just not as fuzzy a kind of guy as I thought), a cheap $35 power supply which was junk. (I sent it back, did some more reading, then bought the Voodoo), and a $25 8' guitar cable with a Fender name on it. (That's the ONLY disappointment I've had with Fender. After using it and a crappy cable a buddy loaned me, I shelled out $40 for a 12' Monster. No comparison. And like I said earlier, I've since bought a LOT of Monster cables.)

I also looked at the ToneBones. And you bet, I'll let you know what I end up doing.

well i'd like to. i really would.

but i can't .

because I don't have a pair of cyber twins. i don't have 3 of 'em, either, so that one's out too.

i have a Deluxe Reverb and a Blues Junior.

could steal my Son's cube 30x for the triple thing I guess, but I'm still trying to figure out how to run 2 without the HUM.

how do you do it?

(but i do like chow)

i preprogrammed the cyber twins with my editor, i use the foot controller to control all them simultaneously. I set each cyber a little different form the other.

for the guitar, i have a powered signal splitter and a y cable (when two cybers are used). See http://www.radialeng.com/di-jd7.htm or http://www.pedalspluseffectswarehouse.c ... s_s/59.htm

I did this mainly to experiment and to develop the cyber twin editor. what i found was an unbelievable 3-d sound.

Ciao,
johnny.

Decided to keep the Whirlwind (I can use it to increase my input options to the BJ) and ordered the Lehle Dual Amp Switcher.

It arrived shortly before I had to head out to work this afternoon. NO HUM!! Sweeeeeet! Sound is killer. (Now I can burn out both ears at the same rate without having to worry about rotating every 20 minutes.)

However (and I didn't have a chance to do anything but hook it up and fart around for a few minutes), there is an obnoxious 'pop' when I switch OFF amp 'A'.

Not supposed to do this. Will do some re-connecting, experimenting tomorrow. It has a phase reversal switch and a switch that also connects each amps chassis, but neither helped.

Mf will take it back no problem w/in 45 days, and like I mentioned, when I e-mailed Lehle in Germany, the guy who owns, operates and invented their products answered me personally the next day.

You know we read in many pedal device descriptions how well they're constructed. "Built like a tank" is often written. I have a handfull of some pretty quality things, but nothing is more 'quality' in appeared construction or operation than this. 'Cept for the 'pop'. I'm sure I'll resolve it, one way or another.

'POP' is gone. When I take my JamMan Looper pedal out of the chain. It's the only device in my train that doesn't have a bypass.

Been planning on getting something to perform that function for me anyway, as like I may have said above, it's a slight tone suckin' noise maker. Not that bad, but with the added irritant of the 'pop', it's gotta be done.
