Title: Klonpressor
Post by: juansolo on October 12, 2013, 03:43:17 PM
Klonpressor
Something a little different. A Grind Customs Rotten Komp (Rothwell Lovesqueeze clone) into Pickdropper's MiniTaur buffered mini-Klone PCB.

Love the art on this one. It's more Malleus of course.

I really like this one and that's a nice combo.

I may have to do a build of this.  I certainly have plenty of both boards.

Definitely does the job :)

Really top notch. Surprised how many people like compression before dirt. I prefer it the other way around.

I like it both ways, I just tend to use it Comp into Overdrive most often because of what I do musically. In an ideal world. I'd have a comp followed by a drive followed by a comp, followed by a drive, followed by a comp so I could do all sorts of interesting combinations...

But comp into klon is a great way to go. Great build Juan, it looks stellar.

I made the Sonic Death Monkey for a friend and that was a Comp (originally an Afterlife, but I ended up swapping in a LoveSqueeze and putting the AL in another enclosure for him. He loves the AL, but wanted to use it for other things. The LS just worked better in this scenario.) into a Klone, into a FatPants. That *really* worked well. Well, apart from the charge pumps heterodyning, but I sorted that by running the FP at 9v.

I've already got a FP in another box, so thought I'd make the other half of the SDM for me to plug before it.

Great combo, and top-notch wiring as always!  ;)

How do you like the LoveSqueeze circuit? I've built an Afterlife and I really like it. But the Engineer's Thumb I built a while ago was even better, really transparent and dead quiet. I was wondering if the LoveSqueeze is something between these two.

Even more transparent than the Engineers Thumb. You can only tell it's on sometimes when you turn it off and your mids disappear.

That should be great! And it seems like an easy circuit to build. I'm going for it soon! Thanks!  :)
