0oS Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 wonderful! I think I'll get myself a fuzz probe for €235(instead of a fuzz factory for €180, ofcourse both with €20 shipping,but even with €20 shipping the FP is cheaper than a FF from NL) I just want to get sure(yes, it's been asked over and over again): if you ask the seller to mark the article as gift, it's import tax free, right? (doesn't matter how much it weights, or how big it is, aslong it's marked as a gift, right?) please correct me if I'm wrong and tell me for what I have to look out(I don't want to make any mistakes, which could cost alot of money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashed Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 if you buy from america to the uk: they charge vat and then import tax. thats like 17.5 %, and then 6% of that. if your item is marked as a gift - which is anything up to £200 i think (though companies lie) you can get VAT off. there is probably a service charge on the door, mine was around £20 for a fuzz probe i think anyone say if im wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0oS Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I buy from america to germany VAT would be 16% and import taxes 3,6% it would be great to get it VAT free!(does anyone know if rainbow sound and drum would lie for me? if not I would have to get the FF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0oS Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 one last question: is there VAT on it, if it's bought in ebay? it's a private auction, I don't think they will tax it, if you import it, or do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 one last question: is there VAT on it, if it's bought in ebay? it's a private auction, I don't think they will tax it, if you import it, or do they? It depends, if its second hand, then no you shouldn`t. If its new and from a eBay store dealer person, you may have to pay VAT, but it`s usually included in the price, they should specify on the auction, so read up. If you`re unsure Email the seller, it differs from auction to auction, but usually no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest because Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 eternally missed solo settings anyone? sounds a bit like the velcro setting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 eternally missed solo settings anyone? sounds a bit like the velcro setting... Its not hard to find, start by turning down the stab, add some drive, then a little gate, then gate the sound using the comp, then you have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 ok this might be dumb but on my FF when i have the gate and comp high enough that the signal is clear (no feedback) and i'm not playing anything i can move vol gate comp and drive and it stays silent, but if i move the stab slightly it makes a swishy noise whilst its moving... im not sure if its supposed to do coz i was thinking when you move your foot near the fuzz probe does it go swish swish, or is it just like when an amp gets old and the knobs pop etc when you turn them... thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something to do with changong the voltage across the circuit, you get a crackle as you turn the knob as a result, nothing to worry about.

kuz Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Sorry bout the piece of blue tac on the corner ... Any one got good eternally missed settings or a good interference one for Blackout? you get the sound in blackout by DIing the guitar, so you won't be able to get the same squishing sound with an amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
