polifemo:
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on December 23, 2009 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.


USPS tracking is pretty much useless in this respect. Their claim of "updated throughout the day" is complete crap; if you're lucky they might update once before the package reaches you. If your package is actually lost, the tracking can be helpful (sometimes) in trying to figure out where it went astray.

Point is: nothing unusual in your experience with the USPS tracking service. The time it's taking for the package to reach you is probably just holiday season slowness.

I hope that you are right.
I´ve had many packages beeing sent from the states using USPS, and as far as I can remember I´ve always been able to follow the shipment thanks to the tracking ID.

I really hope that it will get here, as this is such a unique fuzz!

I shipped the international packages via First Class International - I do this for all international shipments and I have never had a problem.

Let's start a new thread for the build portion as this is getting pretty deep. I am going to do a build tomorrow and photograph the whole thing.

for wire length do it as short as you can without getting yourself in a bind, I will post a few tricks I know that should help everyone.

Let´s hope that it will work out this time as well!

A question, will these Fuzzes be OK if daisy chaining?
I know that there are some "polarity issues" with some fuzzes that results in a fried pedal when tryin to dasiy chain.

Hi

There should be no problem with daisychain if this one is hooked up with a standard Marushin jack.

Have fun

John,

I'm way late to the party. If there is a spot open I'd like to take a swing!

Thanks,
Justin
