DIRTY BOOTS V6

so i finally got my buddy's dirty boots finished.  it's going to be used on guitar and organ, so i added a couple extra controls.  a pre-bass and post-treble tone control combo work great together.  this is the main recipe for filtering distortion pedals, so it's no surprise.  i plan on doing a full overhaul of this design in the future, to see if i can optimize it any further, but until then, this one sounds great.  here's the schematic i ended up with.

and some gut shots.

 unfortunately i ran out of alpha pots in the values i needed, but the ones i ended up using are of decent quality.  here's a couple clips i made of the harder fuzz that this pedal can do.  the first is the DB by itself, the second is boosted. disregard the titles. it was 5:30 am when i got this thing finished last night.

4HMEN -> TOECUTTER - DOOM KONTROL.

here are some clips of the four horsemen into the toecutter. heavy ain't it? I think I might like to put these both into one box.

DIRTY BOOTS SOUND CLIP

someone asked for a clip of the Dirty Boots, so I dug one up. HERE is a soundclick page by danielzink where you can hear it. if you go to the second song down, it's in the micro pedal demo. you'll hear a phaser first, then the DB. I haven't listened to the clip in a while, so I'm not sure how accurate of a representation it is, but I'm sure it's close. thanks, Dan!

GREEN BOMB PICS AND CLIPS

brothers and sisters! you know it's time to...

show you some pics!

my buddy Double A picked up Green Bomb No. 1 and has been putting it through it's paces lately.  he has reported back that the intense fuzz sounds garnered from this machine are indeed up to his high demands, and was kind enough to post a nice clip as well as take some pics of the this sucker for me.  (i really hafta get a camera soon!)  he started up a little myspace page that will be focusing on different pedals, and he chose the GREEN BOMB as entry number one!  check it out, there is a sweet sample of A-Double hashing out some nasty Davie Allen licks!

he was also kind enough to send me a few pics as well.  here are a couple of the best-
