Stratdeluxer Strikes Again!

Somebody's got to stop this madman! LOL! I just had my Boss SD-1 modded by John, and he did a fantastic job. Initially I was a little skeptical about the whole process; as I liked the sound of the pedal "out-of-the-box", so to speak. But when I plugged it in to my JCM800, the tone was pure bliss to my ears. The bottom end was firm, without being too big (as any bottom end should be ;) I noticed increased performance with the level control--it really made my picking technique come alive; almost like using a compressor, but without the signal squash. And for what it costs to have him do this, it's truly a great value. It was also refreshing to see that John's work is meticulous. There wasn't a scratch or mar anywhere to be seen. Even the screwheads were perfect! In conclusion, do yourself a favor, and get a pedal modded by John, you wont be disappointed. John, I'm gonna drink a 6-pk (@ least) in your honor tonite! Great job man!

I got scared when I read your heading! Thought I was under arrest for doing something stupid? LOL......Thanks for the kind words and the time to write back on the SD-1....I'm all about quality and not quantity...I Mod every pedal as if it were going to be used by me and on my own pedal board...I appreciate hearing your thoughts...These posts are worth way more to me,than the inexpensive charges to mod a pedal...Thanks again..

John
 
Re: Stratdeluxer Strikes Again!

Toally agree John is a madman and he has to be stopped otherwise everyone one this forum will have a modded pedal by him this has got to STOP. :smash:
I am working up a petition to stop John doing all these mods and also when the Brits invade Florida - he is going to be first on the list of places to be invaded - after Disney!!! :butkick: :yeah:
Good review and as a growing number of people who has had work done by John he deserves every credit and plaudit that is due to him. I have used my modded tTube screamer on a number of occasions now, I am very pleased with it and in fact my other ones are starting to gather dust.

Unfortunately Stratdeluxer cannot be stopped...the tone gods have smiled upon him and given him the facilities to allow mere mortals to transcend into otherworldly realms of being.

Cool! Our pedals will become rare and too expensive for the common mortal people...
:laugh2: In 40 years they'll be so sought after that we will feel privileged to have one and all the people who were on this forum who had a chance but didn't get their pedals modded will feel dumb as heck...

Seriously, please don't stop helping people John, unless this is turning to be something unpleasant for you...

I'm sorry John, what does "nauteous" mean? If you meant nauseous well, didn't mean to make you feel bad... I'm sorry...

You're close: Diarrhea... You're just one R away... ;) It seems obvious that nauteous wasn't right but you know me and my crappy accent, there's always one word or pronounciation that I can't get quite right... :)
