really, it sound amazing. you get that nice lower gain plexi sound that the BOM got, only with better clarity, plus the 800 sound gives you a little more edge for lead work. i'm well fucking chuffed, thanks mike. rat is kicked off

Oh yeah, knock your Tubescreamer into it. It likes to Stack.

with the goldtop, notes just ring out. it's kinda like a blues driver with more bollocks and no splatty decay. like a bluesbreaker, but better tone control. it's just perfect.

so far, i've been able to nail many sounds, just with the DLS and guitar controls. i can get cream/clapton, deep purple, zeppelin etc. it real stacks well with the ts-9 and kicks the drive channel of the tweed really nicely. i've got it in plexi mode, really nice bass tone, that cleans so well with your guitar pots. i really feel liberated the simplicity of just a couple of pedals, instead of panic pedal pushing.

Hey Mike, I hope you know that I just used the pot template for the switch? I figured they'd probably be the same size hole. Also, I was prtty chuffed to see that when I googled Behringer Vintage Delay I got your shortscale demo and when I googled Behringer dd400 I got Hurbs shortscale demo.

I fancy either a Salty flavoured compressor
OR
a dirt pedal based on 3 Saltboosters in a row.

What are my options, Mike?

I don' t have a compressor design I can build cost effectively for you, I would go for an MXR Dyna Comp if i was you.

3 Saltbooster thing is definitely doable mate. Â£65?

Aye, let's do it... I'll PM you at some point over the next few days to discuss tweaks and a final price etc.

It should be a belter

Dude.

I am a professional.

I know what size holes to drill for what parts. Everything fits just fine, I checked before I marked the case up. Printing your decal now. Will clearcoat tomorrow morning and apply tomorrow night.

PM away Empires, I have about 5 builds on the go however so my lead time at the moment is a max of 4-5 weeks

Paint just plain hates me, anything to spite me..

The other pedals look like class acts though, I am in safe hands.
