Hey guys!

Take a break from the soldering and check out the cool finish on my Tonepad Dynacomp/Ross Compressor clone:

that is a very very nice looking pedal you've got there. I really ought to spend more time on the finishing.

What are the two switches on the left for? Are you simply doubling up rather than using a 4PDT like the switching mod on the Tonepad site? Or something else?

Very cool effect. Keep this great job in your next effects.

Oh my God, I got an "awesome" from the man himself... Thanks for the project Fp!

One switch is a 3PDT to switch between the Ross and MXR modes, the other is an SPST that switches that infamous 220pF cap in and out of the circuit.

The labels are water-slide. I printed them with white ink with my old Alps printer. The finish over the decals is Nitro-Lacquer, just like on the headstock of guitars.

What are these Alps printers people have mentioned here a few times? I haven't heard of them before. Are they expensive?

That looks fantastic!

Nice job!

What does switching that cap out of the system do?

Fess up. The "BOUT" on the right side of the middle legend is a copy of the old Bill Godbout Electronics logo, right? :wink:

Yup! You got it! Nothings get's by the veterans here...

I was wondering when someone was going to ask about that.

Actually, it's kind of a funny story. People have called me "Hairbag", or "Hairybag" or just simply "Bag" over the years. I was doing a TS-9 mod a long time ago for a friend and when it was done he was like "Wow, you do some good work! I should start calling you Bill Bagbout from now on!". I thought it was kinda funny at the time, and I used that as a logo on the pedals I have made over the years. Keep in mind I am just a hobbyist, I don't sell these, I make them because I love the work (or if a friend wants one). There is no real company or person named "Bagbout". It is simply my way of showing respect for one of the pioneers in the field.

CHEERS!
