A three hour wait before the first response, instead of a three second browse in the 'stickies' (where an extensive TS FAQ with gobs of technical detail as well as quick summed-up jabs for people who 'want to find out quickish') and maybe a thirty-second-long search of the entire Sneap forum with Google is QUICKISH?
First, that is not QUICK, that is LAZY. There IS a difference. Perhaps that would have been 'quickish' if we were still relying on the fucking pony express... but we aren't. You know that you're going to wait at least a couple of minutes at the best time imaginable. You know you can click and read links in a matter of moments. Please tell me you already know that three seconds is shorter than three hours; if you don't already know that asking is going to take longer than looking for other links, you have MUCH bigger problems than not being able to afford a guitar pedal. In fact, you could easily just go back to whoever your parents paid to teach you basic reasoning and demand your money back and pay for gear you'll clearly not know how to use right without a problem.
Second, this breaks a FUNDAMENTAL rule of useful forums - if a question has been answered, USE THAT ANSWER, and if your question is not something that is obviously not asked often, look for similar questions. When people have some new and unusual problem to solve, that is INTERESTING and ENLIGHTENING and WORTH CHECKING OUT and FUN. When people ask the same fucking question over and over without even looking for the answer on their own, that is LAZY and DISRESPECTFUL and BORING. One of these is a good thing to have on this forum, where you are going to find bored-out-of-their-fucking-minds audio engineers and mad scientists who come here to NOT BE BORED. The other brings about venting like this.
Third, you have CLEARLY not done ANY research on ANYTHING AT ALL regarding this subject. Any asshat can tell you what kind of circuit the TS7 has, and even many websites that SELL that pedal do. This is not Ask Fucking Jeeves. If you expect the most basic of information to be given to you just because you ask nicely and use smilies, you are not only wrong but about to be VERY unpopular. The people here, myself included (believe it or not), sincerely want to help... but there's a difference between helping someone who just doesn't understand a topic and someone who doesn't understand basic use of the Internet. It's like the difference between someone who has a headache and someone who is missing their head. You would do well to present yourself as someone who at least has a half-working brain... and, just as a little hint in case you're not good with subtlety, poor grammar and spelling while asking stupid questions is not going to be a good way of going about doing that.
Finally, as the fucker who wrote that TS FAQ, and a good number of other things explaining electronics to musicians, I write whatever I can to help other people who maybe aren't obsessive about mathematics and physics. I cannot, however, copy-and-paste a several-page article every time someone is too lazy and obnoxious to ask a stupid question. As someone who knows what FAQ stands for, I suggest you make a point of reading them, because your questions may have been asked before. In fact, if you're going to fail miserably at looking for ANYTHING on your own, chances are you'll never ask a question you can't answer with a FAQ.
For fuck's sake, is it that hard to display at least a little interest in not being a blathering idiot?

i cant afford that for what it is
