I spy my old pedal You get that from Ron?

[jurioste]

yeah!! i actually contacted Ron to see if he still had it not knowing i already had it!!! hahaha

[eatyourguitar]

so half of those are customs or limited edition or whatever?

[jurioste]

ALL of them have something about them. limited edition, custom paints, custom features ( like the interstellar overdriver have a treble switch ) , one of a kind customs, different enclosures, prototype, etc...

[eatyourguitar]

did you see the one in the fuzz movie that had 14 knobs and took 6 months to make. I was shitting my pants. just imagine how much money it was then and is now. the website is hinting that they are trying to cut back on custom work but I dont know how true that is.

[retinal orbita]

after seeing whats inside these pedals i can not like them. its a disgrace that they charge 300+ dollars for a sound that you can get for a third of the price and with much better build quality.

Yeah but they like, look cool though amirite?

yeah. the total sonic fuzz overload, the sound of god, and the space cave. there's actually a bunch of pedals that were made that didnt make that DBA custom page. i know where a bunch of these pedals ended up and have future pending deals with the people that own them. i LOVE these pedals.

they're not doing ANY custom projects anymore. or for the time being. i spoke to oliver like i randomly do and it seems like the future of DBA is just adding or swapping out new pedals in the core line. i guess this is in part of a place to bury strangers rising to more fame and oliver ( the guy who even wanted to take custom orders and puts them together himself ) not having any time to put anything new together.

oliver is half of DBA, the other half is matt conboy who oversees DBA when oliver is away and then the rest of the people in the work space who put the pedals together. oliver is THE guy who designs the pedals, graphics, picks out knobs and all that. so with touring can one believe they'll be taking any custom orders any time soon? he still makes customs, but for himself and rarely, also, most of them are pedals he already made. he just likes to have a spare just in case.

This. A two-knob fuzz for three hundred bucks? Just no. >.<

Hahahahaha.......

i had an Interstellar Overdriver Supreme. i really wanted to like it because the online demos were great, but it just wasn't happening. half of the functions barely worked, and the pick-sensitive tremolo was so noisy i had to use a noise gate with it, and that's the first time i've EVER had to run a noise gate in a normal signal chain. it may have been defective; when i had a look inside, the build quality was awful, poor solder joints with threads of solder/flux stuck to the joins. given the price/build quality differential, i don't think i'd buy another DBA box unless i tested it in person and verified that it was fully functional and did what the demos claimed it did, and looked inside to verify the build quality.

yeah i hear ya. believe it or not, some of my pedals have stopped working like the evil filter prototype. it was just out of the blue though. i guess thats ALSO part of the reason that they dont take customs anymore. the current line is refined so they can work out all the kinks.

they stopped doing custom jobs in 2007, thats 4 years ago

I love my soundwave breakdown. its my go to pedal. i paid retail and dont regret it. i'll have this thing forever. its exactly what ive been looking for all these years. as far as other DBA pedals, i cant say im too fond of them. i tend to steer towards devi evers for that gritty nasty fuzz. but the soundwave blows any devi out of the water anyday of the week.

and DBAs have my favorite pedal art.

@jurioste. im so envious. dont let me find out where you live. im not saying ill steal them from you, ill just be at your house trying to play your pedals for days lol. how does the sound saw compare to the soundwave breakdown?
