purple is more 'spensive

I'll check out the Tonepad PCB, some searching around has shown some common modifications to the circuit that i'm interested in.

depth pot
dpdt on/off/on to switch caps for the lfp rate
pulsing led
mix pot
stereo output [not a wet/dry]

some people are putting a delay time pot but i'm not sure i'd be interested in that.

Tonelab's ordering page shows the regular small clone pcb and the "Stereo add-on board" is this something that i will also need to send you?

I don't mean to be rude, but if you want all those mods on the same pedal, it will not be cheap.

You could either order the Stereo board or I could make one myself, it's not big.

With all of the extra pots and jacks I wouldn't be surprised. I would be more than happy with the overall build if it could be done under the £150 mark

That would definitely be possible I think, you'd have to forward the details of all the mods though so I could get my head around them and order all the correct parts etc.

Certainly. It may be another month or so before the ground breaking ceremony but I'll gather up the details on the varius modifications and pass them along.

Yo Mike, would it be possible to add a voltage sag control with a momentary switch to the Fuzz War?

Oh btw I'm posting the cheque out on saturday. As thats the only time I'm free. Sorry about the delay.

I'm not convinced that would make it sound any better or different to be honest - that circuit is fucking barmy as it is.

Isaac your pedal is done. Man it was tight wiring this up!







Gizmo helped

I love the way the knobblies are laid out. Really smart and should save some pedalboard space aswell.

good jorb! = ]

Any chance on a demo on that green beaut?

It looks so good im excited, I need to start doing demos again, Ive gotten at least 5 or 6 things to do. And this will be one of them. Can't wait to play it!

No time for me personally to do demos I'm afraid kids, I'm sure Isaac will make a great one.

Taylor's Pedals are done!










As are these for non shortscale customers. That blender was too tight, next time I'm shifting the LEDs to next to teh footswitches instead of on top.








Saltbooster is Saltbooster v2 - with space for battery support if needed. All will look like this now I think.

Is the layout and battery clip the only thing different from the og saltbooster?

yes. and I only install a clip if someone says they NEED to use battery power (also ships with battery in this case for £5 extra)

What a phenomenal job, Mike! You work very quickly. I am so glad we went with the white for the booster/breaker pedal. That Wayne's World graphic looks perfect. Benecol, you did a great job on the decals. First rate work. I can't wait to step on Garth's head! I can't wait to hear them both and play with WAAYYY switch. The gold Fuzzface looks particularly delicious with the Boss knobs. I will do demos of both pedals with my AVRI Jag and my Squier Duo Sonic after I get them. I am very stoked.

MIEK I LOVE YOU.

ITS BIG BOY STUFF THIS PEDAL.

I've only had a smash with it through a MG15 but it sounds really big, really really big. Love the nature of the Saltboost too, really like how it tightens up my lower mids and bass. Quite partial to setting the saltboost before the crunch box, lovely gain sound. EQ on the crunch box is really nice too, a really useful sweep on it, theres no tones that are unusable and its quite a chore to actually fine that part of the pot that really works for me, because everything is so good. Guess I'm gonna spend a long and joyous time going through the pedal and finding that "sweet spot" before I demo.

I will demo with my set up in this coming month though, hopefully.

Kinda sad that my gain quest is over at such a young age. This is the grail.

Wicked matey! I'm glad you got it pretty quick and that you're enjoying it.

It was a fun one that, loads of grin-inducing tones in that box of filth. Thanks again for having me build it and for the kind words.

FAO: Tim and Reece

I need to make you guys your payment pedals; Reece for the website and Benecol for all his tireless decal efforts.


So I need you to get me some decal designs (Reece I guess Liase with Benecol) and then I can drill them. If you have them ready before Tuesday next week I can get cracking.

BUSYBUSYBUSY. Also build OCD and DLS boards for Johno's pedal which I'll finish tomorrow. PHEW

hey, have you done any "normal" DLS's so to speak?
i mean like this kinda style:



just the logo and the usual font.

i've been trying a bunch of stuff but i think all i want is something simple and clean like that. white with black lettering in your normal font and possibly a little thingi'm working on in the center.

i ask because the template i have has no logo and a different font and if you've already done a regular style DLS there's no point in me trying to recreate it again on this template.
