You did indeed claim the coveted number 007! Thanks!

The other option only works if you have a Canadian bank account.

I'll see if there's something else I can do for you. I'll PM you with more info.

Re: The Official FTL Drive 1st Production Run Thread

so lemme ask you a question. can you dial in the pedal to run as a clean boost when on and then some nice thick OD/dist when you hit the boost switch?

if so, i might need to be getting some monies together.

That's tough to answer. It depends a lot on how you have your amp dialed in, and how hot your pickups are. I played around with it using the clean clip setting, and it WILL push a small clean amp into overdrive, especially on the red channel. On clean mode, it will still grind a bit if you have the level cranked because you're actually getting transistor and op amp distortion there. It's a pretty nice low gain OD tone that way actually.

I experimented with this for you, and I had trouble dialing it in to a point where the green channel did not clip and the red channel did. I am curious if an 18V power supply would make a difference. Unfortunately I don't have one.

Hope that sort of answers your question.

Re: The Official FTL Drive 1st Production Run Thread

hey, Matt.

I mentioned your pedal to some friends at another forum (not SD... is that a sin?) and they're wondering where they can get one. i told them i would check with you if it was ok for them to contact you out in this forum. i don't want to give them your email i don't know them all that well. if they want they can get in touch with you through here. i told them they're probably all out of luck trying to get in this run, but maybe if you decide to do another one down the road. is it alright if i give them your username?

Re: The Official FTL Drive 1st Production Run Thread

Maybe the green channel is "Spool" and the red is "Jump"

I like it!

Anyone who wants BSG-themed control names on their FTL Drive, e-mail or PM me. I'll make it happen.
