And I have it on good authority that Eric Johnson will only use Tesco Value batteries in his fuzzfaces. Probably from one specific branch.
No worries, sounds good buddy, you'll have to let me know your address. If it's OK I think I want to wait until Thursday to post it since I had to clearcoat yesterday. I was very careful in the build process, I don't want the finish getting trouced by the transit, so I think 4 days curing will really help matters?

Mike, there's no hurry at all - it's not my birthday 'til the 7th, so I won't be allowed to play with it 'til then anyway. Do a demo! Then you can add it to your ever expanding range of pedals...

OKedokey, I have zero other plans for tomorrow so I'll get it done. I'll have to think of some half decent songs to play. And then forget them all and play Back In Black instead.

Wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm quite interested in the fuzz face actually. The TGD combined with the LPB-1 covers my crazy fuzz needs, but I've got no vintage fuzz tonez.

BTW Stewart, I've been looking into the OCD and I could definitely make you one if you were interested at some point, I could do it in the same sized box as the Muff for the same price. Let me know.

just had a thought- will the ocd be daisychain-able?

Absolutely mate. All of my pedals are except for Germanium PNP based fuzz pedals (Fuzzface derivatives). Because of their design they use "positive ground" wiring where +9V is actually Ground and Ground is -9V.

okay played with it a bit more, you can dial the oscillation in key with what you are playing for some cool effects during lead work. the pedal is LOUD, my mesa f50 on the clean channel at about 9 o'clock and the pedal's volume knob at about 10-11 o'clock and this thing is shaking stuff in my room it pulls out lots of great natural harmonics too, good job mike, now i just have to decorate the thing
