Hooray! Acceptance! haha

Also, I'm from Illinois, and I've got quite a few friends who are from your neck of the woods.

And my Cleanness has arrived! I tried some of the stuff we talked about in this thread out, and this pedal is perfect for my needs. I mainly will be using it as a clean boost, but I did the whole super bass heavy, and lo-fi radio type sounds for awhile, and it was a lot of fun to mess around with. This pedal just makes my guitar sound like a louder version of itself, which is exactly what I needed. So, without further adieu, here is my newly completed pedalboard that I'll be using with one of my bands. (I have a 2nd pedalboard for my other band which contains my RRR, and possibly a SDD soon).

How does it compare to the Timmy? I'm on the waiting list and should come up in may, but the cleanness looks so cool, and I'm planning a trip to ludlow guitars in march

I didn't really get much of a chance to compare the Timmy and the Cleanness, since friends came over, but it seems like they're two completely different beasts. I'll try to use the Cleanness as more of an OD tomorrow, but it seems like it's much better suited to just being a simple booster than adding much grit to your signal.

I don't think there'd be much comparison between a Cleanness and a Timmy... other than they're both built by cool dudes. *smile*

The Cleanness has no clipping provisions, there's no diodes and the gain isn't setup in a way to distort. Plus the equalizer controls are active so they can boost and cut. The Cleanness is really meant as a clean booster/active equalizer/level matcher manipulator while my understanding of the Timmy is that it's a light to medium overdrive/boost/passive equalizer. You can get overdriven/distortiony tones out of a Cleanness but you have to dime the gain knob and dig in, if you dime all the tone controls you'll be in overdrive territory for sure but it's sort of a raw, hitting the rails kind of distortion and not what it was designed for. I still do it though... it sounds cool!

Basically, Blake, I say get as much distortion on your amp and your pedals as possible, then click on your Cleanness and dial out tons of bass and treble and crank up the mids all the way... then play some Slayer!

Good to know! I guess the gain knob on the new version made me think they would be similar in some way. Well, my trip to Ludlow might end up being more expensive than I thought

Thanks for checking it out, hclapp! I hope they have one in stock for you to try... it's been a long time since we sent pedals to Ludlow I'm afraid, although that's one of our favourite stores to work with... great folks!

The 5th knob that was added last year is actually the master volume, it always had the gain knob. It used to be a lot easier to make things louder with your Cleanness but not quieter, so the master volume opens up a bunch more versatility for it and I think it was a mistake to not have it there from the get-go.

Yeah, that's sort of what I was gathering from my quick testing of it. Sounds great for a clean boost though.

I'm heading home this weekend though, we're I'll actually be able to crank my amps and pedals, so I'll definitely have to try the Cleanness out like that. I don't know any Slayer though! Sorry! What should I learn? haha

While I know this has absolutely nothing to do with pedals, I just picked up my custom guitar today, and this is what I'll be running into my Dr. Scientist pedals from now on.
