Title: Octo Drive, BYOC Vibrato and Swell Comp.
Post by: Guitarmageddon on December 17, 2014, 10:01:10 PM
A few 1590BB builds...

A pedal for me! Be my go-to dirt box ...for a while.  ;)

Rej's great Catch -22 and the modified Thor from TH Custom.

Love Jfet drives, the TH version of the Thor has a Baxandall tone stack, a really nice addition.
Didn't fit them in the box very elegantly, but as it's for me I don't care.  :P

BYOC Vibrato

Fantastic sounding vibrato. I have two of these so this one's for sale if anyone wants it.

Swell Comp

This is an optical compressor/slow gear combo for a guy on the Kurt Rosenwinkle forum. Kurt has been using a new sound, probably an axefx patch, with a swelled attack. Sounds cool, and this pedal is to emulate it. I'm building one for myself too, but using the new parametric compressor.

Happier with the guts in this one.  :)
That's it for today!

The etch on the Vibrato is definitely my favourite of the bunch. Well done captain Cod.

A couple of interesting combos there. The vero powerboard is simple but somehow elegant. I am officially inspired!  8)

Those are sweet.  I had a Lazy Sprocket that I was never totally blown away with.  Might have to give it another go with a compressor.
