Here in New Zealand, like a lot of places, we're going through some business closures and there's not much work happening at the moment as non-essential businesses have called it a day for a while.
I'm a photographer and had the studio setup still up from a client gig we did last week so I brought some pedals to the studio.
This is the woodpecker, an eqd hummingbird clone. Does the helicopter attack thing very well, doesn't do a lot else:
This is the eqd disaster transport jr clone. Nice delay with a useful tone knob that actually does something.
Hot cake clone. Honestly doesn't sound a great deal like the original. It sounds like the clones I've seen and heard but something is missing. It's not bad, just a bit anaemic compared to the originals I've had.
Timmy clone. I screwed the placement of the switch on this one. Which is ok because I don't really like this pedal either. However the tone controls are a useful addition to splice into other circuits.
This is a modded SHO. One of the best boosts on the planet and about 10 components. Every guitarist should have one of these somewhere in the bag.
This is the Delegate, a eqd warden clone. I didn't 'get' compressors before as they all tended to sound a bit crap or impose too much on the sound but this is fantastic with anything you put through it. Lots of tweakability and it imparts a warm squish on things I rather like. With the gain up it also still helps you out by adding some fatness and body to the sound but still keeping it tight for the chugga.
This is a red llama clone. Another one that I think sounds like crap so I'll be reusing the housing and parts but changing the circuit inside. This was a Vero build.
Deep Blue delay clone. Painted by a buddy of mine who was the paladin in our DND group.
My original design (kinda). It'd a modified ritual fuzz, which is a modified meathead, which is a modified colorsound, which is a modified whatever. This is a huge thick wall of sludge. Not some 60s vintage thing, it's just doom all the way down.
Has a starve control which is a dying battery simulator. Literally just a pot spliced between DC jack and the board which shunts the current to ground. Super basic.
It started life as this in 2010 and has since undergone much modding:
I can only attach 10 files which is a shame. Anyway. What else are we gonna do during lockdown when your $300 tayda shipment is trapped in a Singapore airport?

and, since it's now reliced and road-worn, it's $750.
