| I got an Envelope Filter kit with a switchable fixed wah setting that sounds a bit like a Boss Spectrum that I need to put together, and need to put together a MXR Distortion + clone and DOD 250 clone once I get the kits, plus another variation of a Big Muff Clone....so they're not pedals yet, but will be soon hopefully... |

Despite just doing a post about it, My Ibanez cs-505 turned up today 
Also interested in the pedal kits, expensive at all? I've got experience with signal processing circuits from making laboratory equipment so it's about time I made something more fun  |

Ssshhhhhh Don't tell anyone.
I guess I might as well disclose that I am not only a user, buyer, builder, and supporter of BYOC, but I am one of the moderators for their forum too. |

Couldn�t resist a Digitech Screamin� Blues for around US $40.
As Digitech Bad Monkey is a big favourite of mine I expected the Blues pedal to be around the same, but there is a lot of differences to them. Screamin� Blues is much more transparent, much more dynamic (touch rensposive), more treblier and don�t have as much volume/drive as the Monkey. I would say that there is a lot in common with Boss BD-2 when comparing to Screamin Blues, but the Digitech is more touch sensitive.
I all a very good pedal but Bad Monkey is still better for my needs. |

Hi Goran & Guys
Congrats, on the Digitech Screamin� Blues pedal.
I had one here for a while, it belongs to a friend, I used to play in his band for a while.
Whiles it's a good pedal, i found it to have too much of a crunchy sound
it was a bit too harsh for me, on my old fender valve amp.
But it sounds different on his amp, it's a Solid State amp, & it seems to rock on that amp.
I don't have a BD-2 YET , does the BD-2 get too Crunchy as well?
I have a COSM model of the BD-2 in my GT-3 multi, & that sounds pretty good.
Regards Dr. Bob |

Hi Dr Bob,
I�m not sure I understand what you mean by crunchy, to me that�s a good thing (the sweet spot of a tube amp, just before break up).
If you�re talking about biting treble I know what you mean, that�s a part of both BD-2 and Screamin� Blues. It has to be tamed with the tone control way down to it�s starting point (in my opinion). The modded BD-2�s I�ve tried all have taking care of this issue.
Both of the above pedals are best used with the drive pre 12 o�clock, for more distortion there are better Boss OD�s.

| I just bought the new electro-harmonix octave multiplexer from the XO line, I've been after an octaver for quite a while and I hope this will give me the sound I want. Does anyone else have one of these, or perhaps the original or reissue? |

Traded a Boss BD-2 (yes I know it�s a sin�) for a new Digitech Eric Clapton Crossroads pedal. I hade two BD-2�s�..
Guess I�ll have it in my mail box on monday.
Also traded a guitar related book for Digitech Grunge this week, well, not my bag but it�s a pedal
I�m becoming a Digitech collector too, it looks like.... |

| NOOOoo... Well, at least you still have a BD-2 so you should only be struck down on the left-side of your body.. or is it the right side? I never can remember. |

Well�. The Crossroads pedal was fun to play around with but in a band situation I think it is useless. You have to tweak every setting and to my ears some sounds are not so good (to put it mildly), but some are quite good, like �Badge�.
I think the whole idea of this pedal is very strange, who needs this except hard-core Clapton fans?
You need to carefully select both amp and guitar to get the best results, but this is a very expensive pedal new�.
For me, this is not a keeper.
The DOD Grunge on the other hand was a nice surprise, lots of noise (in the good way) in this pedal. Something like a Big Muff on stereoides, or Boss ML-2. Very good EQ!

Hi Goran
My friend & best man
came to the same conclusion as you have, about the Crossroads pedal.
And now doesn't use it.... & it's even more expensive here in Oz.

I�ve sold off a couple of �bad� pedals and for the money I bought a Australian fuzz pedal, MI Neo Fuzz.
This is a fuzz in a very small box, it has 6 pots (4 is really mini) and an internal trim pot. Great build quality, very, very beautiful (and Dr Bob, still don�t have a digital camera�  ) done.
The sound of it is just like a good fuzz should, nasty when cranked and beautiful overdrive at lower settings. Very touch responsive and dynamic. This is a keeper for sure!

Just put in my order for a Lovepedal "200lbs of Tone" pedal. Here is how it is described on the website...
This unit is by all means a classic silicon fuzz BUT it provides that elusive 200lb violin tone commonly associated with Eric Johnson's fuzz tone.
