Excellent Rej!

What so you think of that particular asymmetrical clipping config?  I've not tried that one before.

Thanks man, that board layout was awesome to work with....everything went in place nicely....have helped me to make this thing look right for sure.

Having the LED in the assymetrical clipping soften the overall gain sound and sounds a bit looser while having a good sustain from the Si...try it..., pretty sure you'll dig it.

Yeah, I'll give it a shot one of these days.

If you have a ZenDrive board laying around...it's where it the shines the most....totally makes the mosfet clipper unnecessary....well..to me..

Ok. I hate you (in a way that really means respect to the max). Nobody should be able to do what you've done in your last two builds. Can't wait to see what's next, I mean where do you go from here!

I've never seen so much done inside an "A" box. Just...wow.

Thanks man, i really appreciate it......but i won't agree that «nobody else» can do it....it's just time and a bit of will....and luck...!haha

But i'll completely agree that these 2 last built have been really fun, especially the DigDug.....I dunno...like many other guys here i've built shit-tons of boxes....and at some point it becomes redundant....even if all of the coolest layout comes out...you know it will just go in there without the need to thinker around it....like let say....the first 5 non kit built a rookie can built....where every stripped wire is an achievement...and THAT's the fun and rewarding aspect of this hobby, Achievements.

It's volunteer from my part too, to post detailed crap quality pics of the steps around a built...., when i started i was spending hours in the ShowOff forums to see what could be done and how it was done....These are super-jam-pack'd-compress'd builts...but if you take that and use it in a larger scale....it may help out some folks who have more difficulty to visualize how to manage the logistics of a built.

End of my rant.

To answer you question..................., Behold! Bahahahahaha!

Rej... that was mean... (kinda reminded me of when Ironbird13 tried the Runt, first pedal I've seen where he was happy with the gain at 9 o'clock.)

bloody awesome playing and pedal!

I think I gotta learn some chugging metal, if only to be able to high gain pedals better.

Thanks for the audio Rej.

Thanks Alan, that's pretty much how i use most OD when in boosting/cleaning up purpose..., Volume all the way up and gain at 9'oclock...just to open the «valve»...

I'm personnaly meh...with my playing..since i was just throwing spontaneous riff and recent idea.....and i do hate to do does clips.....speaking with my highly broken english alone in my living room...lolol...

Oh well...! At least it shows that the pedal is properly working..hehe :)

Thanks Jacob, it can't hurt to go into un-tamed paths music wise....

Like when i started to build fuzz......i was really not getting it....it was like...«what the hell...that thing tracks 1 pick stroke out of 5!!!!» lolol It have been a learning curve.....

Would probably be the same thing on your side :)
