Title: First Built First (Proper) Post
Post by: mistahead on April 18, 2011, 08:49:35 AM
So this is my first pedal cased up in what I will define as properly (assuming a mini-bypass kit from Road Rage doesn't count).

Its a slightly modified "5th Gear Overdrive"... think it looks bad on the outside - the internals are spagetti and double sided tape!
:-\

Basically fiddled around and got some asymetrical clipping, dropped the gain knob in favour of an under-rated resistor and have something which sounds excellent through my Laney combo's dirty channel - something about the way the sustain gates into agony that would make most of you cry but suits me down to the ground for the VERY limited purpose it was made for.
