Blakemore Effects R.O.U.S. Tour Box Thread.


Recommended Posts

  • Members

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. smile.gif

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:

Sure! I love Canada. 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 know, just to see what the differences are! smile.gif
I mean, the differences aren't going to be that huge! 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. smile.gif

well, then there's the 2 band EQ I got, while this one's got the three band, right? Plus, I'm interested in how it's changed as your design matured.

Oh no! I'd never heard of this builder before. Was this a one off job, or was this a production model? I'd hate to step on someone's toes... frown.gif

I don't think it's a problem. I'm not sure how many were made but I don't think it was many.

Love all the Princess Bride pedal names.
