Definitely not a treble booster If you get a chance, I'd love to hear what you think of the sound samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members utterhack Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Busted! Yeah, I posted before listening. The name and the control layout led me astray...I really dig the clips - nice playing, nice range of applications, and you've done the one thing people seem to find most difficult: played it clean first so we can actually compare the effected tone!Nice work all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6StrngStrangler Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Sign me up, I buy that for a dollar! No really, I'd buy one. Oh, the only thing I would request it be 9v compatiable with my One Spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i can make time to build some, they'll likely be in the $90-$100 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work all around Thanks.I never understood why people don't use a "clean tone" for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JDandCoke Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 i really like it. i think if you are making small numbers of this anyway you should offer it with the knob on top or to the side... also LEDs are cool man. just make sure they are ultra blindingly bright... cosmetics aside i think this pedal does what it does really well... maybe some kind of bias control would be cool (internal maybe?) cos i imagine that would sound kick ass with a dying battery. also maybe having a small treble boost circuit put just before the main distortion circuit would be cool of course make that switchable... sometimes you need extra treble to cut through. sounds like it rocks for rhythm at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a list, definitely put me on. I guess I'd be 2nd in line behind 6StrngStrangler. Couple more questions: What's the function of the single knob? I'm assuming it's simply fuzz/gain? And would you be able/willing to move that knob to the face of the pedal and the jacks to the north side of the pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzinator Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 That's one hot pedal! I'd gladly pick one up if you're considering doing a run. Put me down if you move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ive found, is that many times when you try to make something "versatile", you make it "mediocre". My personal opinion is that I'd much rather have a GREAT "one trick pony".Besides, adding a bunch of features would add a bunch of price.That being said, I've got a fuzz I built that has 8 knobs, 3 footswitches, and 2 toggle switches !Bright LED's = GOOD I like the side knob for a couple of reasons. First, its much harder to accidentally "hit" when you stomp on the pedal. Second, it leaves more room for the graphic. Third, it has a bit more of that "hand grenade" type look. Fourth, it helps "differentiate" it from the "looks" of other pedals out there. But thats just "my opinion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will clean up "some" by rolling back your guitars volume knob, but it's really designed to be a high gain fuzz. Jacks, maybe. As for the knob,i kind of like it on the side.

Members chump5150 Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Originally posted by GRINGO_LOCO Jacks, maybe. As for the knob,i kind of like it on the side. Would moving the output jack to the same side as the input jack be doable? That would help with space issues and still preserve the unique look of the pedal with the knob on the side...

(BTW, I still want one, whatever the answer) The jacks could be moved to the top edge of the pedal. That would save a bit of room. Of course it they could both be on the same side as well.

Members Mike McLenison Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Very nice indeed! That 3rd clip almost sounds like some clean signal is mixed with the fuzz. Sounds great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GRINGO_LOCO Posted November 12, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Question: Would you think that $100 for a pedal like this would be : A)Overpriced because its a one trick pony B) Seems about right C) A bargian, because it sounds great. Just a curiousity. You know, market testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
