Title: My overdrive pedals keep disappearing
Post by: Luke51411 on March 19, 2015, 01:31:55 PM
I feel like I've built dozens of overdrive pedals but they keep disappearing... I think I have one finished one around right now. Does anyone else have this problem? For some reason OD just seems to be the pedal I sell to fund the next parts purchase or the pedal that a friend really has to have. Then the thought process is... Meh, I'll just build another one, it's just an OD... But I never seem to have more than one to choose from myself. Life is hard sometimes. 8)

OK, this "transparent" OD thing is officially out of hand.

Haha My OD builds are SO transparent I can't even find them!

My observation:
when selling DIY pedals in the classifieds, people never ask for anything other than Tubescreamer, OCD, Tone Bender, Big Muff. Nothing else.

So true. Fortunately (or unfortunately, I'm not sure) I have some friends that are after certain tone and don't really care what pedal gets them there.

I can't keep them either, I seem to have lost a klon, sold 2 more and a couple of tubescreamers. Every time I build one, somebody else just has to have it. I've managed to hold on to a tubescreamer but still have no klon.

I have the opposite problem - my collection of overdrive/distortion/amp-sim circuits keeps growing!  I need to figure out how to get rid of my excess... :P

(Of course most of my builds are just tested boards and not boxed.  There must be a market for populated boards... :D)

Hmm I wonder where you could find people that wanted populated boards... I can't think of anywhere myself ;)

Are you using disappearing ink on your decals?
