Title: The Roctopus
Post by: Roctopus on December 03, 2011, 04:04:44 AM
Here is The Roctopus!
It's MB's DeadRinger (Fulltone Fulldrive 2). I love this pedal :)

Sorry but I don't have any guts shots :(

hahahaha...I'll post some guts shots later for sure ;)

I love it cause it has my little logo on it and because it is indeed a "DeadRinger" to the Fulltone Fulldrive 2. I'll probably end up selling my FtFd2 and only use the Roctopus :P

Eight arms to rock you!  Awesome job.  How did you do that decal over black?  It looks great.  I love my deadringer as well.  I noticed the only difference between it and a fulldrive 2 was that unity gain was a bit higher on the dial on the deadringer (something like 2:00, vs. about 11:00 on the fd2.).  Minor difference.  I like to stack it with other overdrives, so i actually prefer the deadringer's lower output.

I noticed the same thing with the DeadRinger vs the FtFd2. Other than the unity gain they sound identical.

I didn't use a decal on this one. I actually had it laser engraved at a local trophy shop. I took them a plain black enclosure with my design idea and they did their magic on it. Basically they blast it and remove the paint to reveal the aluminum underneath.

Thats a great idea.  I never would have thought of that.  I'm gonna see if i can find anyone locally who would do that sort of thing.  It looks great.

I like your little logo too  :)
