I need to do some recording or reamping to get a full sense of this thing but at first glance I like it. I might just use it on everything, it seems pretty clean when set low on the soft setting.

This is fantastic!

What a cool idea! I really dig all the DIYRE stuff I’ve tried so far.

Beautiful! Is this a self made pcb or is available online?

I've sent links to all so far. FYI I built this in a 1590BB2 from Tayda. I have drill coordinates for the top face with the XLRs, and then I hand drilled the front face because I wanted to push it as far down as possible.

I'd like to see this too! I'm curious why there's so many diodes.

Rad! I bet this would be excellent for recording DI into a cheap audio interface with low headroom.

I've read about this cascading of diodes before; and I'm into the DIYRE stuff — always thought they should offer the modules in a pedal-based format, so...

SPOON FEED ME, SVP!
