Finally built the Deofol and combined it with two selectable boosters in front of it, both on my own designed pcbs oshpark fabbed.
There's the EQD speaker cranker circuit, modded with selectable clipping diodes, and the Lovepedal Tchula circuit. Tchula has been changed so the toggle does the job of footswitch on pedal switching to higher gain adjustable with vol pot.
One of my guitar heroes Josh Smith uses the Tchula as his main usually always on sound. Of course his actual magic comes as usual from his fingers and playing, but hey, nice to have this also in arsenal.
Also note he had the BOG Deep Trip (Marsh Fuzz) on there too in that video, although like many artists he changes and does go for other endorsements etc.
And did I mention I love his playing and dedicatin and he seems such a cool guy.
Anyway, then there's the Deofol / Okko Diablo, sounds great too and as I had the rev 1 board mine whistled as well so I did the fix of putting the 39K resitor on lug 2 of gain and 10n to ground which works just fine IMO. I don't know how close this sounds to the original but it's a great pedal and I spent some time dialing in the trimmers for my guitar (Tele) and gear, that was a worthwhile thing to do... tweaks it just right I find. I do like the lower gain settings and there's so many shades with the feed and body control to be had. Noice. And of course hitting it with boost in front or behind, adds versatility.
The photo of graphic I took myself in Burke's Pass, Canterbury, NZ. Tweaked in photoshop, so 'Rustbucket' was the name to go with it, flat tyre included. Also a homage to a busy dashboard with all the knobbies and switches.
Laser decal with acrylic faceplate. Relay bypass switching with 1776 fx finish line.
