Pedals and prototypes.

Well here is a picture of the first Plexitone, not two-channels like it ended up becoming.
It is the Duplexer.

Here is another project, a fat fat overdrive, abit hard to play, abit like those old Tweeds and Bluesbreakers.

And my normal homesetup, the black plexi is stock, just not silkscreened.
The unpainted pedal is a FET drive with a TL084 OP-amp instead of the usual LF347 we normally use in most of our drives.
The white one is my ancient compressor that is rehoused:wink: hehe I rather like it that way, and soon the compressor will end up in a low box like that one.

And a few more, sold the TS-808 as I have an Aramat Green Machine instead now.

The first colourscheme for the new 9v line

The first XL and the naked prototype, along with a early Plexi protype and my trusty Ibanez chorus.

Re: Pedals and prototypes.

Awesome gear Rid, and it's great to have you back on the forum.

P.S You may have posted this in the past, but what is that Park amp like?
 
Re: Pedals and prototypes.

yep the park, and that old Ibby Metal Charger...I had one of those...damn good distortion pedal for it's day...

BTW..I'd hate to see your electric bill Rid ;)

Welcome back!
 
Re: Pedals and prototypes.

Thanks guys, hehe the Park is so not for sale:D
That old Metal Charger is modded quite abit, it is a treblebooster and an eq plus some boost and a drive on the inside, changed a few parts, now it is a very very great pedal, those Ibby guys know a thing or two:)
 
Re: Pedals and prototypes.

How is that Carl Martin hotboost? I see you even have two, are they THAT good? :P Do they provide more boost than say a SD1?
Your gear is sweet as hell too!
 
Re: Pedals and prototypes.

Two HDB's....I have an army of those:laugh2:
Since I make them for a living.
Dunno if they are any good, that depends on what amp you have and what sound preference you have, and there are three versions, and the very first batches of the first HDB's are abit different from the new ones.
The old ones had abit more gain and power, and the boosts on the new ones are loud enough...actually dunno what to use all that boost for hehe, but I use it as a slight lift for lead stuff.
 
Re: Pedals and prototypes.

I just thought about what 3 of these could do to my Laney AOR... I was complaining that it didn't have enough gain. That'd change :D If they're just a clean boost pedal with more option, I think it could be for me though. I'll be on the lookout for one. Maybe an old one would be more for me. Are they true bypass and how noisy are they with gain on? The main complain I have about the SD1 is that annoying noise. And no I won't go as low as to compare yours to the SD1 but it's all I know off :laugh2: how is the hydra boost? A bit like a microamp?
 
Re: Pedals and prototypes.

If you want more gain get a Plexitone instead:)
No CM pedals have true bypass, we don't like it much to be honest about it.
The Hydra is just a cleanbooster, not with the extra bass the Micro amp gives, more natural.
 
Re: Pedals and prototypes.

Awesome pics Rid! I'd love to hear one of those Carl Martin amps one of these days, I bet they're incredible.
 
Re: Pedals and prototypes.

Something else;)

And now something very different from the norm:D
This baby is a creation of my productionchief...it sounds like Gilmoures old sound, or Becks newer one, depending on how you dial it in.
This is one bad pedal, hopefully we can get it made for the new line:)
