Page 46 has some details, and there'd be more before and after that.

They look proper good mate - what are they?

The green one is for a Box Of Mike (Box Of Rock with Gain Boost) a guy ordered after seeing Doog's righteous youtube demo of the one I made him.
The blue one is a custom switcher for TideBleach that I designed. The RC-2 he has goes in the loop on the left of the pedal and the left footswitch selects which of the Amp outputs on the top the RC-2 output is routed to, there are blue and green LEDs to show the amp selected to play Loops.. The right footswitch is a "record" arm footswitch with a Red led. When switched on the guitar is routed to the RC-2 for recording or overdubbing on the same amp as the RC-2, or when disengaged the guitar goes to the "other" amp the RC-2 is not looping into.
He has a clean and dirty amp setup. Cool eh?
The Red one is a BJFE Honey Bee Overdrive clone. They cost like $400 new. I made it for £80. This is the first veroboard clone of the pedal ever made. It sounds good, very characterful "old amp on the edge of destruction" dynamic overdrive. It's for Foll.

That sounds amazing! Very cool indeed. Bet that sounds great, really versatile. Am impressedMike wrote:The blue one is a custom switcher for TideBleach that I designed.

Well it was his concept, I just did the build, but I think it's come out nice.

I'm not familiar with the Honey Bee, but it sounds really nice...
Where's all the talking tho? I'm not convinced it's even you...

haha.. didn't feel very chatty this morning to be honest so I just knocked it out quick smart

So do you prefer the honey bee or DLS for dynamics and tone? The HB sounds really smooth.
Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 7:43 am
They're incredibly different pedals. The Honey Bee is a much smoother animal with a unique tone control whereas the DLS is just like an Amp Channel to me. Both are very dynamic and good sounding pedals, but the DLS is more to my taste.

I don't suppose you'd be able to do a comparsion demo of the dls and the box of Mike?
Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 7:49 am
I can do if you want, but they'll both be at Doogfest also.

I have no idea what the last one is, but it looks AWESOME. Pray tell.

haha.. yeah. benecol is the man.
The red pedal is the Doogfest special; OCD into DLS. Crammed in there!
The green one is a Zendrive I built for a customer.
The X-Wing pedal is my DLS refinished.

I may have to backtrack on my previous assertion I wouldn't build DLS's for people and instead build loads until I get sued by George Lucas.

HAHA. Looks excellent. You can make a Star War series. Next one: Boba Fett Green Muff
