Remember this? I think I did it for somewhere around the £50 mark

Fuck me! Seriously...

It doesn't even have an LED.
People are hilarious. A tonebender looks like this:
Yes kids, that's like 16 components.

Well I hate to say I told you so... Oh, and:

to be honest, i had an original tonebender, labelled under the brand B&M, great big orange box. though this was when i was just starting to learn guitar and didn't know about values and rare stuff. even if i knew back then that they could be worth a bit, i'd never sell for more than i paid for it. $5000 is way way overpriced, how the fuck can he put that kinda figure on it. i sold mine for a fiver when i was 16, stupid mistake in hindsight, but hey i has an excellent tonebender now.
mike's clone sound exactly the same as my old tonebender, if not better. it never breaks, the batteries last ages, i can power it on the mains and it has an led. plus it's tiny on my board compared to trying to squeeze a tonebender in.

Do you have exciting news for us from St Ives. And did you go to the Barbara Hepworth Museum?

I'll be forever haunted by that soundbite, it seems very clear that I can't carry off this crash exterior with such a high-pitched voice.benecol wrote:Well I hate to say I told you so... Oh, and:

I'm glad you're liking it, I think it's a great sounding circuit, and I just can't understand the values of the old huge ones, aside from the Mullard transistors, everything about them is flawed.Progrockabuse wrote:mike's clone sound exactly the same as my old tonebender, if not better. it never breaks, the batteries last ages, i can power it on the mains and it has an led. plus it's tiny on my board compared to trying to squeeze a tonebender in.
Huge, no LED, no true bypass, No DC jack input.

if your referring to what we discussed in that pm, then i chickened out for the moment. she didn't know i was planning it. it will happen very soon though. i don't think the answer will be the negative though.benecol wrote:Do you have exciting news for us from St Ives.

i've fell in love with st ives, i would quite happily live there for the rest of my life.

Interesting. Low starting price but he has a reserve, I;m watching it for interest.
No gut shots is a shame. At least the Duo-Fuzz/Super-Fuzz circuit is complicated and has a high component count (although I could source the exact transistors and diodes used even today), so yours is identical in every way aside from the improvements to it's visibility and switchability.

Awww. I think I can read between the lines and that's very sweet.Progrockabuse wrote:if your referring to what we discussed in that pm, then i chickened out for the moment. she didn't know i was planning it. it will happen very soon though. i don't think the answer will be the negative though.

if it's anything like the quality of my tonebender, then i'll be happy. i think it will. i've never been disappointed with any of your pedals.
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:57 am
yes, you've guessed right mike. 
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:58 am
It's probably the best pedal I've ever built if I'm honest. I was really happy with my layout of the circuit on the stripboard, and it worked absolutely first time. Plus it has a fantastic colour scheme & knobs (which you can take the credit for), and the dual footswitches with the two-colour LED - well it just adds up to being the pedal I'm most proud of full stop.
My mics turned up today. I'm running tonight and tomorrow is my Mum's birthday. I plan to demo it Wednesday night and post it to you on Thursday, hopefully you'll be rocking it Friday morning.

haha that guy posts on a DIY forum I post on, he's very good and makes EXCELLENT quality stuff.Progrockabuse wrote:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Baja-Tech-Custom- ... .m63.l1177

i must admit, if all goes planned, your baja might have a twin sister friday.

Nice move. You can't go wrong with a Telecaster of that quality and poise.

though i'm in a pickle, as the guitar shop i found one and tried again only had the desert sand colour, plus i also tried the new classic player jazzmaster which is actually really nice.
