Sadly, my local Labour MP has shown little interest in paying attention to letters from constituents.

I wrote to her at the start of the year about telecom regulation; several months later, she replied with a stock answer about the Levenson II inquiry.

Never heard from her again after that.

* UAD Woodrow does this, but only emulates a jumpered 5e3 amp.

I’ll get one in 2026 and cover it on the #HomeToneBlog. I’ll also do an A/B comparison with the Deluxe55, and some others.

I *might* have a Lazy J 10LC by then to do an A/B comparison too.

It’s on the bucket list 🙂

Would have *loved* it if, instead of switching channels, the pedal switched between jumpered and unjumpered modes.

With bonus points for separate Normal and Bright inputs, and toggle switch to go between Inputs 1 & 2.

That would be a magical 5e3 AIAB pedal.

From the YouTube demos and the online manual, the two channels don’t seem to be interactive.

I was really hoping that this would be the first pedal to do that*

It’s kinda crazy that no AIAB pedal does the one thing that makes the 5e3 circuit special.

Try to download Chrome, and Microsoft Edge pops up a banner saying:

“Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft.”

You’ve just proven you can’t be trusted by snooping on my activity.
