I built an overdrive for a charity auction for my kids' school. I call it the Little dRiver - a clone of the Lovepedal Eternity. PC board donated by MadBean Pedals, parts donated by Small Bear Electronics. Other parts, finishing, and assembly by your truly.

Fundamentally a TS circuit, the Little dRiver is about as maxed-out as a TS can get. It's bright, gainy, and dirty. It has excellent note definition and clarity. The downside is noise - this is the type of pedal you want to switch off when you stop playing, but it sounds great when you ARE playing.

Check out the Little dRiver and the other merchandise donated by local merchants and school families, and read a bit about the Little River school at the website:

My pedal is item #1041, near the bottom of a page.

I'm also the auction admin, so your bid ends up in my in-box. Call me eBay Junior for the next week and a half.

Hi Rich_S
Good luck with the Action.

If it wasn't so expensive on shipping,
Mrs Dr. Bob, was really keen on the 1 Gallon of Genuine Maple Syrup.
(Genuine Maple Syrup is very expensive here in Oz).
She makes a mean stack of pancakes & or French toast every other weekend.

Please let us know how much $$$ your pedal finally sells for?

And that was a nice gesture from the people that donated the PCB & components.
Not to mention all the other local companies & individuals that did the same.

Regards Dr. Bob

There should be a humanitarian exemption on shipping costs for maple syrup. Shippers should be required by international edict to transport it everywhere on the planet for free, just because it makes life a little bit better for everybody.

Hi Rich_S
I'll show your reply to Mrs Dr. Bob in the morning.
I belive she will be first in line to nominate you as:

First & only candidate for "President of the World".

Bump for the weekend. Auction ends Wednesday.

Sniping is ill-advised. I receive, track, and enter the bids manually, and I'm WAY too slow for that eBay-style shenanigans.

Bid is presently $30 - Get yourself a cool overdrive for a great price.
