Baby Thundaa Question

How hard would it be to cram another footswitch in there to engage the feedback loop? I am a total noob and have never even touched a soldering iron before. Just wondering if anyone else has done this before.

another footswitch on a 125B enclosure would be pretty narrow......and you need to solder some parts onto the pcb that are left empty for the purpose of the baby thundaa. doable though!
but, why don't you buy the big ass thunder instead ????

Impossible in an already cOmpleted BBT.
Possible but cramped for a new/custom build.

Thanks guys. Just wondering. I think I saw a picture of someone's custom build somewhere with two footswitches. Wasn't sure if they took an existing model or built it themselves or had something custom built for them.

Cannot wait to get mine!

I do believe your are referring to the Thundaa Prototype.

Why can't you just put the baby thundaa in a feed back loop like the chk chk boom...would be the same result would it not?

There is a toggle for the feedback loop on it. Also I would probably have to advise a Dwarfcraft Romance Explosion for feedback looping.

Trying to flip some stuff over on craigslist in atlanta. Will let you know if it works out!

Would the feedback loop in the thundaa interact with the romance explosion?

Sorry for the double post here, but I wanted to ask another question, mainly directed at you Aen.

Have you stacked this pedal with any other high gain devices with any luck? I would try it myself but I don't have any other dirt pedals or gainy amps at the moment.

Yea your right...I just think of Ohnoho when I think of feed back loopers for some reason.

The most stacking I do with this is an Interet before it. Usually on "normal overdrive" but for feedback and noise I do the "full blast" mode on the Internet. The Thundaa circuit is so saturated that you dont hear a whole lot of difference when you have OD before it, but there is certainly a little more grit. When you have something really loud before it, it can start to "squash up" in the thundaa, but the gain and feedback are your friends :)

A Dark Boost with the gain cranked up makes the Thundaa a raging fiery beast. With the feedback backed up a little bit and the gain cranked, absolutely delish.

Depending on what I'm using it for I'll use a Sparkle Motion or a Robot Devil with normal overdrive settings in front. Both work awesome, the trim knob can make things a lot less noisy too.
