i think the glitchy thing you are hearing is the guitar a little out of tune and the octave kinda fighting it. not sure. we are still messing with a cap in that tone stack though.


if you look at the waveform for tone stack 2 you can see that the shin ei has these wierd transient spikes that the proto doesnt, and we are almost there with replicating the same waveform.

Nah I meant the spikes in the waveform.

OOOOHHHH. yeah thats the original superfuzz.

either way, we are still trying to get that elusive bottom end back, and tweak it just a tad more to get the tone spot on. we are very happy with tone 1, so we are hoping tone 2 will be easily remedied.

WOAH! awesome. i like to think of it as a reproduction rather than a clone. the idea was to get the tone as spot on as possible.

how do you like the sound?
i like it so far, would be good to hear it with say a lead tone, different amps/gain structures. if i get one, it would be run into a tonebender to get the sustained steve hackett sound from the early genesis albums, a sound i've always wanted.

I liked tone 2 - anyway, what will the price be like?

ah, nothing official yet, but it looks like in the $120-$150 range and not higher. we are trying to keep the price as low as possible.

He means the mount for the 9v battery connected to the case, I presume you either soldered it in place or used a screw or something.

oh, duh.

yeah its screwed in with a little tiny bolt and a nut. i hate that battery clip. we are using a way sweeter one on the production model. i am almost way too excited for just the battery holder. its the coolest battery holder ive ever seen.
