Re: Has Anyone Built The BYOC OD2?
absolutely awesome. the best TS style pedal i have used. I built mine with the mosfet boost, and standard I/O...not the mosfet I/O...those were too shrill. when you build it, you will wonder why TS style pedals are so expensive...this has so many options and so much tone for little $$.

Re: Has Anyone Built The BYOC OD2?
How's the boost sound? What music style do you use it for? Do you have any other od/dist pedals that you use, or does it have enough gain/versatility to be a desert island pedal?
It seems like a seriously cool pedal, I'd love to try one out, but I also have an unhealthy obsession with overdrive pedals and boosters...

Re: Has Anyone Built The BYOC OD2?
the boost is a separate circuit, and it is dead clean. it comes after the overdrive part, but you can use it on its own too. i use it for the jazzy blues band i play in. and yes, i won't ever need another distortion pedal...unless i buy another one of these.

Re: Has Anyone Built The BYOC OD2?
Yep... not a huge fan of it... (built mine to MOSFET specs) I used it for quite some time during the "honeymoon phase" and then got my old BYOC TS808 Clone out of the closet and haven't gone back. I really WANTED to like it and even tried to convince myself that I did. It's a bit thin to my ears. I usually put the "bass boost" mod on (i put that in quotes, because I can't remember the real name of it - it's the top-most switch) because of the thinness.... the other mod-switch (lower one) IMO is unusable and makes your guitar sound like a strained fart.
I was REALLY pumped about it when it first came out because I absolutely LOVED the tone of the original TS808 Clone ... nice beefy, ballsy overdriven tube sound... and I can't speak to if I had NOT built to MOSFET specs though.
Maybe one of these days I'll take out the MOSFET specs and return it to original.
AS FOR THE BOOST:
The boost is great and does exactly what you'd expect a boost to do! I actually liked the tone that the pedal got when you put on the boost AND the overdrive.... but I don't want them to be used in conjunction all the time.
