First, I'd like to note I wasn't bashing on Mr. Keeley or anyone else who mods pedals up there. Modding certainly improves a pedal's tone or versatility. It's just that many players seem to go with mob mentality and won't even try anything stock without shipping it off for some parts changes and a blue LED
personally, I think SOME danelectro stuff and things liek that are okay. Just pot the in a 1590B or whatever, and it's at least decent for the price.
My Dod Classic Fuzz and Juice Box are excellent pedals for what you can pick them up for ($20-30). I've been thinking of tracing them out so they can be built with better components and without those cheap switches. I'd hazard the Juice Box would then sound better than many $150 overdrive pedals.
How 'bout speaker wire with colored thread over rubber scavenged from a nuclear missile guidance system. Razz
That's a new one (unless I've missed something crazy

); I think you might be onto a great marketing strategy:
"It's common knowledge that Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and SRV were known to jam together near nuclear waste dumps--the radiation did strange and wonderful things to their gear. Now you can get the elusive tone of these three masters (at the same time!) quickly and easily, and at no health risk, with our new radioactive guitar cables! They'll turn your Squier Strat and 1x10 Crate Practice amp into a howling, screaming rock 'n roll setup!"
