UPDATE: SOLD OUT! Thank-you everyone!

I am leaving the Custom Options section up here so the buyers can reference it.



It's time for another pedal build. This one is the FTL Drive's little brother, the Raptor.

In brief, it is a simplified one-channel version of the FTL Drive, which itself is an improved (IMO at least) and expanded TS-808. I have sold 21 FTL Drives, mostly to SD Forum members, and I've heard nothing but positive reviews.

Detailed specs on the Raptor can be found here: https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?t=185236

CUSTOM OPTIONS

Each Raptor has a few options that you can customize to your liking when you order. This is included free of charge with all orders.

The toggle switch selects between Vintage (low gain) mode and Modern (high gain) mode, and each of these modes has its own clip circuit. Each clip circuit corresponds to one of the six Clip Select settings on the FTL Drive. The clip circuits are:

1. Classic (two 1N914 diodes just like the TS)
2. Smooth (two 1N4001's and one 1N34A, a bit like an SD-1)
3. Angry (two red LED's for a crunchy Marshall-in-a-box tone)
4. Sweet (two BS170 MOSFET's and two 1N34A's, similar to a Fulldrive 2)
5. Complex (a rectifier clipping circuit, inspired by Neils/Rid/Vashu)
6. Clean (no clipping - just clean gain that only grinds when turned up loud)

You can give each mode its own clip circuit, or you can put the same clip circuit on both modes.

My personal preference is #1 for Vintage, and #5 for Modern, but you really can't go wrong with any of these choices. Listen to the video in the specs thread if you want to hear the differences.

There is also the Fat Mod, which increases distortion in the low frequencies. If you want tight, balanced lows, I suggest opting out of this one. If you want lows that knock walls down, you want the Fat Mod.

When I confirm your order, I will ask you what options you want for clip circuits and Fat Mod.


QUESTIONS?

Please PM me with any questions.

Thanks!
