DVM must e getting ready for retirement ?
I'm trying to do a little advanced planning. I'm tentatively looking at early June to crank out a few more Tube Screamer-type overdrive pedals. I've laid out the following "product offering" matrix, along with price levels. I'd like to get an idea of who might be interested in which. Running rules will be as before:
- First come, first served.
- Prices shown don't include shipping. I use US Priority Mail, insured + delivery confirmation. About $10 in the continental US.
- 50% payment upfront, and the balance due prior to shipment.
- PayPal or Money Order only. Sorry--no personal checks. Don't even ask.
- I reserve the right to refuse taking new orders of any models at any time, depending upon how busy I am & how much **** my wife is giving me.
Note that the price on the ZYS is up substantially over the "special introductory price" of $150 that I charged for the first bunch. That's because all the switchable options make these extremely time-consuming to fabricate. Even at $199, I don't know if the ZYS is really a productive use of my time vs. the other models. But it sure is one amazing pedal....
Here's a table I put together showing the features of each model. Note that there are optional clipping configurations available on a couple of them. If you have additional questions or need clarification, shoot me a PM. And if you're interested in buying one of these puppies, contact me the same way:

To supplement the summary descriptions of the four DVM overdrive pedal models in the table above, I also put together a description of the tonally important features that distinguish these pedals in the attached PDF document. So if you don't understand some of my comments above or are looking for additional technical detail, give this a read:

Yes and I think I can help with good POSSITIVE observations too!
For starters my buddys (either)amp or bass doesnt respond well to string bending or harmonics...but with this pedal(and the stock opamp) he was in bass string bending heaven! To me it sounded very good, a major improvement over his normal some whatdry tones(he doesnt use effects and his amp is a Fender SS).
I will have to say this though, either he had too much level or too much gain(or both) on the pedal and even though it sounded really cool, his speaker sounded like it wanted to invert itself...but then he tamed the pedal and it sounded great!
One thing I'd definitley recommend for use with a bass would be to use a high cap rating in the high-pass filter to the gain stage and knock the bass rolloff point way down. A 1uf cap with the stock 4.7K resistor would dump it down to 34Hz, which should do the job nicely!
So are ya tempted, Mr. Smith?

LAST CALL!!!
I'll be ordering parts later this week, so anybody who might be interested in one of these pedals needs to contact me ASAP. This will likely be the last "production run" until some time in the fall.

When do you need the money for this? I think I may get one of these now too.
Probably by the weekend. I'll shoot you a PM when I need the 50% prepay.
BTW, which model are you interested in?

You know, Im just being impulsive...I want the ZYS, but I probably should wait until fall. All that talk about gain got me wantin to upgrade and get the Banshee a companion...sorry, I just remembered I get my buddy's Muff pedal after he recieves his Banshee Plus...you said in the fall, right?Originally Posted by duhvoodooman
I'm thinking about a ZYS in the fall also. Are you working on any improvements for that model, or is it pretty well set now?

Hey, no problem. Yeah, I think fall will be the earliest I'd be making another batch, but I can't make any promises. I have family, job & church commitments competing for my time....Originally Posted by ShortBuSX
I think it's pretty well set. My last batch of customers seems pretty satisfied with the feature set! That little yellow box is pretty well packed as it is--not sure I'd have room for anything else!!Originally Posted by WackyT
