OH MY GOD!!!

I can not believe how much I love the ultra lord pedal.

I had half an hour with it just now and it was possibly the noisiest most fun time I have had on a guitar..... ever?

I don't know how I can do this thing justice on youtube video. BUT I will try.

Thanks for letting it pass through my hands but seriously I have to start thinking WHAT THE HELL do I have to sell to fund myself getting one

I LOVE IT!

haha it is pretty batshit isn't it? Properly crazy.

I'm going to sell them for I think a fairly reasonable Â£75 + P&P so hopefully they shouldn't break anyone's bank.

Benecol is a bit of a one for eyeing up potential classics; The Fuzz Face, IC Muff, and now this...

when I first plugged it in there was no sound. And I was thinking shit whats up? but this thing is another one of those pedals where all the knobs interact with each other in a nice/complex way...ie lots of sounds but big learning curve.

The quality is great as usuall and for 75 quid people are getting a massive bargin. but with everything going on I just don't have any money...EVAR haha

Back to the pedal.

I am unsure of what to do in a demo as although you can do nice grity sounds(I really like how, somehow the grit has a real sparkle to the sound that I havent heard before in a pedal ) I don't think people will be buying it for a stand alone dirt pedal. I think really I should just go bat shit crazy with it.

benecol is going to loooove it.

No worries Hurbert, glad you like it - keep hold of it for a while and have a proper tinker; no hurry from this end.

Thanks I am off all week but have a lot on. but will try and do a quick demo teaser tomorrow morning if my puter doesnt act like massive arse that it is.

Haha yeah if you sag it too much it goes silent in some settings. I reckon just make a note of some of your favourite settings of any kind crazy or normal and just go for it

that marshall pedal (DLS?) looks great.

i remember mspainting one up for you a couple years ago when you first put one together, but can't find the pic. that's basically what it looked like. good show.

Cheers mike! I think sometime with sort of pedal the quicker you get the demo out the way the better as the longer you have it you get a bit bogged down trying to cover all its bases instead of just rocking out.

will get it on mediafire!

Mike, any idea how possible it would be for you to make a Catalinbread Harmonic Pareidolia? They sound awesome, are pretty modulationey, and have only been out since the summer, so I'm not sure how doable it is.

Cheers!

So cool.

Modded a Wah for a mate, first time working on one - quite fun. About an hour all in to change the sweep and tonality of the wah, and make it true bypass while leaving the input buffer active.

next time u tear into one of these mess with the inductor, I put the red Fasel in mine and luvs it, also check the yellow fasel or even a halo inductor

its a very nice addition to the normal wah mods
