FWIW it's a fairly unique sounding preamp, so many things sound extremely similar to something else. This one has some je ne sais quoi that, as Will said, isn't going on the pedal board but could be useful anyway. I built one because I try to keep my mind and ears open. I may not love it but...

Damn, I put my headphone amp in the same enclosure and the finish has held up to a lot of abuse. I hope yours is a fluke because I also like the look quite a bit. It's probably my favorite of the tayda matte sand offerings.

My first vero project was a Phat Phuk B and I have really enjoyed that pedal for my hint of grit tones. With the bias backed off its pretty clean so it's also very nice as a boost that adds a fair amount of coloring to the sound. It's designed more to be a grimey bass booster than a real dirt...

It's pretty cool but he and I both kind of hate the plastic kalimba-esque tines on the front right. I'm trying to talk him into removing those and putting something like the moonn Drone a Little Drone in that place. The rest of it is great though, my favorite part being the long antennae when...

I just spent a few hours auditioning pedals on my drummer's "auxiliary noise" set up. He has a kalimba I made with a cheapo transducer pickup and Leaf Audio Soundbox along with a contact mic he's been attaching to his snare with a few effects and a looper all on a little table to the left of...

I sit in a standard metal folding chair. A busted swivel chair sounds pretty fancy to me.

Much appreciated. That took 10 minutes with the brush tip sharpie "creative markers." I can do it again. I do kind of wish I hadn't started my "JHS always gets rainbows" thing because that means I'll never put a rainbow pedal on my board. 😆

First thing, I gotta acknowledge that this is a spite build. Spite aside, I kinda don't hate it. Well... more accurately the things I dislike were fully known to me going in to it. I'm not big on clean blended fuzz so the constant presence of clean signal isn't my jam but it is a good sounding...
