Brown Betty is 2 pedals in 1?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking at the distortion pedals right now, and the Brown Betty says it's the BE-OD and Dirty Shirley pedal. Is it just one continuous gain sweep, or is there some hidden switch that I'm missing?

I played a BE-OD Deluxe a while back, is it basically that, or does the EQ and stuff work in a different way?

Thanks!
 
Ohh okay. Am I correct in assuming that the Thermioonic Deluxe is the BE-OD Deluxe just with regular pots for everything? And two internal trims for the overall gain fo each channel?
 
Yup you are correct. Great sounding pedal, having the Tight control as a full range knob instead of a switch is so much better too.
 
I should probably build one then, been looking at that pedal for a while... I also got some questions about the channel LED thing you posted in the other thread
 
Well, I haven't ordered the pedal yet but I will soon. I'm German and the supplier is having some issues, trying my hand at a different pedal first (Isosceles Boost).

But basically, is it as simple as attaching the three prongs to the anode/cathode and the final one to he bottom of the switch? Or are there hidden complications that you kind of glossed over?
 
I learned after I scrapped mine that the Brown Betty is not the BE-OD, it is lower gain. It doesn't say in the build doc but there is a resistor change required to take it from dirty shirley's low gain to BE-ODs high gain. There is a thread on here somewhere that states the mod.

I've been doing mods to it so I can't quite remember, I will double check it today while I have it open and I will get back to you on that.
 
Ya so I used this Clear 5mm RGB LED Common Anode because I didn't like the look of a diffused bi-color one.

Common Anode(+) leg and a Cathode(-) leg go to the board, and another color Cathode(-) leg goes to the switch. I clipped the red color leg because I wasn't using it, and soldered a wire and heatshrink to the other legs for better reach. Mind you I'm no expert, I've only built a few pedals but this works.
