The Double Barber

[Tremster]

Here's a very tight one. Not the cleanest wiring, but proud to have all that stuff in there.
On the right side is a Barber Gain Changer clone. I got the PCB in a PIF from Cooder, so all the thanks for this great circuit goes to him. I promised to post a build report in return, so this is it.
On the left side is a clone of a Barber Direct Drive by Chi_Boy from Osh Park. The trimmers for Bass and Presence are regular pots on the outside. They're subtle but effective.
Also inside: 1776 Klon Buffer and Road Rage for more voltage.
The enclosure is just brushed, not treated otherwise.

How it sounds: warm and bright, smooth and raw with a very open kind of compression and the most transparent toan coloration.
Seriously, you know how these sound: glorious. I had orignal Barber both LTD and LTD SR, and Cooder's PCB sounds just like these but with more gain on tap. Love it!
This pedal is all the overdrive one needs.

Sweet! Great 2in1 build man... I'm with you on the barber love... Madbeans sparkplug is also a fantastic barberesque OD

Nice! I would like to get a hold of one of the Gain Changer pcb's if there are any available. I have built the Direct Drive from Chi Boys OSH Park board. It sounds great.

this is great! Love the simplicity, too.

Great squeeze there Tremster! Glad you like it, glad it's rockin'!

I'll check if I have a spare one, will let you know.
