I found a pic of a statue of Zeus and shopped it to make it look a stamp.

Man I'd wet myself if I saw that thing :D

Also Z3 was a Bat41 before I changed it to a LED and I think the LED really helps differentiate that setting on the switch, it's a subtle tonal difference but there is more volume there to my ears.

I really like this pedal with my Gibson LP Jr with Fralin P90s, it's total ballsy early Neil Young tone.

I'm a HUGE Ghostbusters fan, my Dad and I are slowly restoring a '59 Cadillac Miller Meteor Hearse (they had a ambulance I know but anyway) that we bought because I've always wanted the Ecto 1, but we arent going to put all the lights and stuff on it. If thats not the definition of extreme fan I dont know what is! :D

Brian (Madbean) suggested swapping R4 to 100ohm for more gain and volume and it does beef the pedal up, maybe it was just me but even with the volume maxed it just didn't give me near enough of a boost with the gain lowered with the 330 ohm resistor in there. It didn't change the tone of the pedal at all just gave it a little more push.

Thanks guys! I dig the pedal, but I doubt it'll knock my sunking off my main board but It's a sweet pedal for sure. Something that really really impressed me with this pedal is with my blues jr  it really makes its sound less boxy and bigger than it is. Makes me like that amp a lot more and makes me want to wait to mod it till its warranty runs out!

I used it with my 59 Bassman LTD RI and it didn't add much tweed flavor because theres enough there to begin with. But its cool as a light dirt box.

My La Vache,  I swapped R4 for a 100 ohm resistor (Thanks Madbean!!) and Z3 is a big ole red LED. Sounds great! First pedal pictures I've posted on here. I had to go crazy with some iPhone app filters.

the 100ohm resistor at R4 is tasty. I dig it!

Built a La vache, any way to beef it up with the volume at 1 it's still got unity gain not much of a boost, I need more power!!!

The sunking has spoiled me I think, but anyway how would I tweak it to beef it up?
