Unsurprisingly, there have been some
really good pedal kits released by BYOC in the meantime. Here are some notables--I won't elaborate, just post links to the BYOC product pages where you can read all the details for yourself.
Crown Jewel boost/overdrive/distortion (
unbelievably flexible dirt box!)
Silver Pony 2 (Klon clone...and more!)
Phase Royal (a killer phaser with four different phasing modules to choose from....or buy 'em all; unfortunately out of stock at the moment)
Echo Royal (fabulous delay with a ton of features; also currently out of stock)
While I'm not back in the pedal-making business per se, I do have more time available since retiring 4 years back, so if anyone out there is interested in one of these, shoot me a PM and we'll talk! I can offer you great pricing and unbeatable workmanship.
Cool! I am interested in figuring out how to create, either in my Line 6 M9, or otherwise, a Jangle tone like old 60's music and like Peter Buck used to do as well. Been learning more about compressors and boosts and such. Also, was exploring my ZYS again, which I used less after I got the Rodent. But especially with the built in boost circuit, and using the Screamer side differently, I am betting it has possibilities I never explored as well! Gonna be a long winter in a mountain town when we can't really go hang in our favorite pubs or anything, so will be more time to do some guitar exploring!
