What's on the workbench?

[Chuck D. Bones]

Sorry, I was talking about the Holdsworth OD.

Ahh, gotcha. Let me hunt it down, it's .... somewhere around here.

It seems like it was a blue note and something else. I actually think I might HAVE sent you that schematic way back when I was tracing it because something was odd about it.

I can't recall.

To be fair, the Tone Bender came out in what, 1965? The first microcontroller was created in the early 70s?

We're talking 6 whole years of innovation here. Microcontrollers ain't that much newer than fuzz.

1957: Sputnik
1958: Explorer 1
1961: First man in space (Gagarin)
1965: Tonebender Mk I
1969: First man on the moon (Armstrong)

Are those kilo international knobs? Fancy

Precision milled to match the resonant frequency of hype.

What's the pedal tho

CKK Electronic SH-1N Scream Honey - Only 170 Pieces Made! | Reverb

From the official website:“As a deeply enthusiast of amp tone, while studying the N5 drive, Sinvertek company has never stopped researching and modifing various classic vintage amps in history. The most necessary part in this process is developing overdrive pedal. Overdrive effect has been used a...

The blurb on that pedal blew up bull-sh*t-meter:

“We designed SH-1N with two basic goals. Firstly, SH-1N must not attenuate any useful frequency of amp tone. Each legendary amp in history is perfect from the perspective of music at the time, SH-1N should retain these original frequencies."

If it's not a Tubescreamer I'll give you $5.

I bet the useful tones are within 20-20kHz

When English isn’t your first language your PR is bound to sound like straight bullshit…

Hey buddy why don't you go f..... oh wait, you meant them?

Right, I knew that.

What I was going to say is "Why don't you go to Florida?".... but you're already there.

What kind of dipshit doesn't put their brand name on a pedal? Also it's not a fuzz? PASS

Why would you design a layout that has every component angled at at least 30°?

Why would you design a layout that has every component angled at at least 30°?

30 degrees is the optimal angle for amp like harmonics.

I like how the top side hints at a "booteek" hand-etched PCB, but flip it over....

 

[Harry Klippton]

Because preserve classic frequency tone.

C'mon now I didn't read that shit

All mine are “only one piece made”. Does that make them special-er ?
