I like that quite a bit actually.

My one suggestion would be a remote for the Joplin, it honestly does make a lot more sense with a remote fitted.

I might get one at some point, I got it cheap in the CRC sale - so it didn't come with one.

Quiet you!

It's certainly still useable without the remote kit, but I'd certainly recommend the extra £30-40 it'll cost to buy it.

Reckon i'm gonna look into the remote kit come payday, definitely can see the uses for natural stuff when you don't know whats over the next hill
