Good stuff MSM!

I built one of those a while back and I was really impressed. Not the most versatile of pedals but it does high gain rock all night long.

I was wondering why you were fidgeting so much in the clip, then I saw your canine assistant wandering around :)

Anyway, inquiring minds want to see the pedal!

I'll show ya mine if....

Oh yeah, as you have probably noticed, the "volume" and "gain" controls don't really work like any other pedal I've made. They work much more like an old Marshall amp I think. Turn volume up and you get massive crunch, turn gain up and get massive crunch, turn both up and get a wall of doom :)
 
MSM glad to see you getting some use out of that pedal. I only played with it for maybe 30 minutes and back in the box it went. I do have my amp out at the new house and several pedals sitting in front...but since I have yet to buy the pack of short leads to connect all the pedals together I have not played since moving....or really for quite some time before the move. All I can say is that BSIAB pedal will certainly get more love at your place than at mine. I would never condemn the work of anyone building DIY pedals...but the cat that built that one had no clue what he was doing when it came time to finish the pedal...his paint job and those stickers is just horrible. I was going to paint it chocolate brown and have some tan stripes air brushed on ala Edward Van Halen....and come up with some cool UPS style Brown Sound Logo to go along with it.....just never found the time. glad you are getting some use out of it.
 
@ch0... thanks! I fidget a lot anyways. And I'll show you mine once I take some Krylon to it... as Kazz says, the finish job was less than spectacular... not that I care, really. Hell, I might leave it as is... maybe put a Mr. Hanky sticker on it. :-D

@Kazz.. I really like it.. now it's time to see what it sounds like through my new Hotrod... ;-)
 
@Ch0: I've decided to keep it as-is. I might still put a silly sticker on it or something, but I think it looks good in the old pedal board... and sounds GREAT through the Hotrod.
