I think this was coming - did I miss it??

I've been trying to squeeze out a pithy response for the past 10 minutes. Must be outa juice cuz I've been pipped to the best puns by the OP. Orange-cha glad it's so a-peel-ing? Must sound sweet.

I like the newer Dunlop even grippier grey 88s. I've used Dunlop grey 88s for years. I do have a few 1.00s floating around and somehow end up using them until I realise - but it makes little difference. I'm surprised how many here play grey 88s. For me they are the perfect balance between floppy...

I used to use Martin Electrics because they were cheap and I worked in a store which sold them. The Darcos - they used to be great and cheap. Then when I stopped working there I went to D'addario - 10-52 on my Gretsch and 10-46 on a Fender. I started using the 10-52 because I was playing...

I still use vero because I like to try things out - a lot easier on Vero. My favourite pedals tend to be modified one way or another. I keep PCB for trying new circuits as stock first. If I want to mod I'll often design a vero for it then. It's mainly ODs and fuzzes. For more complex circuits I...

I haven't tried this particular pedal but I do find a lot of the JFet ODs based on actual amp circuits lack low end.

"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die!"

Drinking while using lasers - what could possibly go wrong??

Cheers - I'll check it out.

I'll admit that I built mine on vero, not the PCB. I have checked my Vero design against the schematic many times and I'm sure it's ok - it's a simple circuit after all. I think I will build my next one on the PCB because I really like this fuzz. BUT: on mine the Top control doesn't do all that...

Well yeah I would do that that too - if I knew how to work my breadboard!

I ended up modifying a BB following Chuck's advice - after all, the Gauss is a copy of a BB so I thought I'd begin at the beginning. And it worked out great. Chuck is a guru.

Oh I don't sell anything online. I just happen to know people from playing. Where I live there are one or two players who are particularly gear-oriented and they'll sometimes grab some pedals from me to try and then see someone else who will want to buy a pedal they borrowed. They keep in touch...

I love building pedals but really there are very, very few I end up using consistently. I end up with a small group of favourites that get all the play. And those favourites are generally quite modified by the time they become a fixture on my board. That's just how it is. As JamieJ says you can...

I'd be worried about the postage on a pedal like that.
