Members Blakemore Effects Posted July 26, 2012 Members Share Posted July 26, 2012 So, delayed delay's thread about my new pedal sort of turned into an unofficial tour box thread, since people are shipping the prototype amongst themselves, so I figured I should get an official tour box thread up and running. I checked to make sure this thread was alright with Phil before posting it, for the record. First, let me give some details about the pedal! The R.O.U.S., as it has now been dubbed, is based off of the classic Rat circuit, but with some tweaks. I've replaced the standard tone stack with a 3 band EQ, and there is a diode selection switch so you can change how the pedal clips. The prototype that's in the tour box only has two positions on the diode switch: normal Si diodes, and red LEDs. The production model will have a third position to completely remove the clipping diodes. So in the Si position, the pedal has a lot more gain, and gives you that classic Rat sound, but in the LED position, you get a much cleaner, and louder signal. So it's almost like being able to switch between a distortion, and an OD. Here is the video that delayed delay posted of him testing out the pedal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd1Gst1t4eY This is the list of people currently in line for the box:delayed delayT nedthe AntiHeropapersunNITROHOLICFrankenstrat869520575notjonahbutnoahhangwiregoawayThe Villano DudeBHz_econobig_catbrokenfixedUrinate ForeverIf you'd like added to the list, please send me a PM with your shipping address, e-mail address, and phone number.

The only problem is that I might have to put the Canadians all in a group near the end. It would just be way too expensive to ship the pedal back and forth internationally every few people.

You're more than welcome to try, if you'd like, but yours is really quite similar. Maybe a few minor tweaks, and take out the clean blend, and you have this guy. Like I said though, you're more than welcome to try! Just PM me, if you want in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I'm interested in how it's changed as your design matured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
