One of my closest friends told me he had found his favorite dirt sound which was a stack of a Lightspeed into a Blues Breaker. He said "it nails the Neil Young thing." I figured he'd be more likely to use that sound if it only took up one space on his board.
No mods, just the two stock circuits in series. He stated that he doesn't have much use for either pedal alone and did not enjoy stacking them in the reverse order so there's no need for any extra toggles or stompers. This allowed me to focus on size reduction, I was so pleased to get everything to fit into this LMS limited powder coated 125b. Only had to offboard mount the tone pots.
Sounds great, though I'm not a big Neil guy so I can't comment on that detail. I did play some low effort "Rockin' in the Free World" through it and it definitely sounded appropriate. Cranking the volume of the mach 1 going into the breaker is where his sweet spot lies. He also said that this box sounds better, is less noisy, and has more gain available than his authentic pedals. All in all this one's a victory.
I almost called it the "Blue Harvest Moon" but I've been more in to minimalism lately. As always, compliments to the chef. This was a petty easy cram thanks to Robert's tight and clean layouts.
