What's on the workbench?

[spi]

What even are those?

I'm guessing 5 crunchbox variants.

 

[mnemonic]

Like @chongmagic said maybe they manually put that charge pump in last and cooked the cap with the hot air gun? I bet that charge pump is the most expensive single component in there.

How do the victory pedals sound anyway? I’ve never really been that convinced by solidstate preamp pedals. AMT’s are pretty good but usually they are ‘ok’ to ‘good’ but rarely ‘great’.

Ask me how I know this could happen.

I suspect that's exactly what happened.

They sound pretty dang good actually, and nope, not a single Crunch Box or TS to be found!

These actually appear to be original/unique circuits.

I've never used any of the Victory amps or tube pedals so I can't compare to them.

Ain't much meat on that horse.

Yep, I'd be in for a V1 Copper, maybe a Sheriff.

I've got an expert that may be able to help them...

But of course.

Ok so let me this clear, the general flavors are…
Duchess/Doxie- silverface fender
Copper/Cobbler- Vox
Sheriff/Bobby- Marshall (major? Plexi?)
Kraken/Cetus- something vaguely original; high gain ???
Jack/John- something vaguely original; mid-gain ???

 

[Robert]

That's probably relatively accurate.

This one of the best "SRV in a Box" pedals I've heard yet. Very cool!

That one really surprised me.

I was anxious to play with the Galea but the Crossfire stole the show.

I take it this is that secret collaboration you mentioned a while back? Looking forward to it! I love anything with a bunch of toggles in a row

Crazy tube circuits really create great pedals. Cool that you’re checking this one!

Seems like it’s the Direwolf circuit, right? I’ll have to check out some demos. Seems cool

It's very closely based on the Direwolf, yep, but not a 1:1 clone.
