It's pretty nice inside but I feel that welding an aluminum battery harness to the inside of the enclosure would improve the transfer of sustain.

Hahahahaha

That's it goddamn it. I'm building etched Klon clones and selling them for 800 bucks a pop. Who wants the first twelve?

Hahaha, Isn't That an EHX battery as well :picard:

It is mind boggling the prices of pedals.. I build tons for studios, pro's and my self pedals, amps etc.. I can clone next to anything. I can breadboard most any circuit and make it my own. I have tons of components and what I don't have I can get. There are so few really unique designs that are not just the rehashing of or the conglomeration of stuff that comes from popular science or some date before 1982 LOL....

Granted it take some real know how and experience to get a repeatable design built with high quality and tolerance in sound but this sounds like a tuneable highly compressed fuzz OD not a dynamic sustain machine like a dumble.... The bjfe Pink Purple clone I just built sounds way way better than this LOL... The original is expensive but half the price!

Granted I am a NOOB on this forum.. This isn't an angry rant either just utter surprise...

Just saw the guts must be hiding his secret special Magic wire..

Make sure you get as much black goop on the circuit as possible. It seems to be the secret to amazing tones

no see, there's no tone loss, all the tone is trapped in the tomb of black goop

there's a doom song in there somewhere

The guy who started the thread pitched in on another one to degoop it with a couple of other TGP'ers, and after they successfully traced the circuit they started selling their own clone for 300 (or "half the price") instead of telling people what it was. :snax:

At least, that's where I'm at, on page 47.

So let's go in on the copy to clone and sell them for half the price of the copy. Hmm. Or maybe more than the clone. I mean, being a copy of a copy it's gonna be fuzzier, right?, and thus better.

Why don't we just go the EHX route and start dropping $60 copies?
That's got to be where the money is!

If your gonna sell a pedal for that much and have it look like shit, it better sound like shit or GTFO.
