Great little board, many thanks to Brian!

This is the second 'Gainster' clone I've built, and my favourite... I highly recommended this simple yet awesome overdrive :)

I think that's the second or third pedal you've done in bumblebee livery :)

Nice lookin' pedal, feels odd to see a battery clip though ;)

Thanks mate... I have always loved the look of Hazard stripes!

This looks awesome! That is some clean masking work if I've ever seen it!

Sounds really good! I didn't expect this to sound so good for the amp-ier Zep tones.

Did you just mask off the stripes and then hand-paint it with a brush?

Great demo! It's got that sweet break up without being muddy. It just rolls right off the speaker cone.

Very nicely done.  Love the yellow and black stripes (a Stryper fan, perchance?).

^These guys? Oh man, that was a painful time in fashion.  Heard of 'em , not sure if I've listened to 'em tho... you a fan? ;D

Absolute favourite band ever, and they just released a new(ish) album of re-records of the first three albums, it's amazing how good a band can sound when they don't fill their veins with drugs.

They got rid of the bumblebee spandex in the early 90s.  Still the original line up.  And they were mentioned in Pain and Gain, funny stuff.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.
