Mike's Pedal Thread

Modified Professor Tweed JFET Tweed Amp Emulation (added Master volume so it can be Overdriven and a Lows control on the output), with a footswitchable Saltbooster Gain Boost.

Sounds fucking amazing, like Neil Young in a box.

mike, that tweed pedal looks interesting. any chance to here it at all? From your description it sounds a bit like a catalinbread formula No. 5 but with more versatility

Nah, sorry bud, all packed up and ready to go - I don't have time for demos generally these days and don't like to delay the builds getting to customers.

I know you're very busy at the moment Mike but just wondered that was all. Sounds like a very tempting pedal to me. Maybe get the recipient to demo it? please

I think he's already planning to do that.

He's done demos of the other couple of pedals I've built him in the past. Watch that space.

Earthbound Supercollider with some mods.

Disaster toggle is a feedback loop (Q2 and Q3 emitters connected) and the +dB toggle is a tone bypass

Sounds great - the Depth and Mids controls are fantastic and the Tone control is useful at all ends of the spectrum.

that looks great Mike.

Mike, I got a question, I was looking at your website and saw there was a page for a chorus but no details. What are you planning for the chorus?

Post by **Mike** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 11:04 am

I've just removed that as it's more trouble than it's worth in people asking after details and demos, and I've had no time to make one.

Basically it's my version of the Small Clone with the following:

1. Depth and Rate knobs
2. Toggle bypassable output volume boost stage to recover from perceived volume loss when Chorusing
3. Optional Stereo
4. True bypass yadda yadda

I'll add it when I have some time if the order list dwindles in the future
