the dual terror really likes having a bit of beef from the saltbooster, so i've been leaving it on for my main clean/breakup sound. the OCD provides a little more gain, but not too saturated. very open sounding. i use the looper so i can switch both the ocd and saltbooster on and off at the same time easier than tap dancing.

Yep. I find myself using fuzz less and less these days, but getting more into wah-type filters like the Rattle Crow and Harmonic Energizer. When I get a minute I'm going to make myself a Harmonic Energizer in a small box with a some sort of abrasive fuzz, maybe FY-2 derivative.

What's the pedal that says rocket on the footswitch? Nice board btw!
It's a Rocktek Metal Worker. It was my first ever distortion. And after the old/crap pedal nostalgia threads @ couldn't resist giving it a go, it's pretty shit, I should have taken another good distortion instead.
Finished up a current project for myself.... When I play I almost always only use two pedals..OD/Boost of some sort and a Big Muff... oh and my amp foot switch. So I built them all into one box..
Thanx to the fellows who helped me with noize issues from all 3 circuits being in one enclosure
from left to right...Violet Ram's Head BMP w/ BC550C trannies and mid knorb.... Amp foot switch.... Fet booster w/ treble boost as well
The switch changes the order the signal goes into the circuits
down= Booster >>>> Muff
up= Muff >>> Booster

Picked up a Peavey Classic 20 today. Very sweet little amp. I'd heard great things about it and it def doesn't disappoint. Picked up a couple of cheap pedals the other day too DL$ and a Whammy. Dunno if the whammy will be staying but I've been after that delay for a wee while now.

It just came down to the Fet booster not liking sharing power and grounds
also, Ram's Heads are so sweet...easily my fav NYC BMPs
I like the Green, IC and Ram's head versions. That's why I make 'em I guess.
Seriously had a "smile on face, didn't stop playing guitar for an hour" situation when I made each one for the first time.

Totally agree my good man, the Green Russian & Ram's Head are my all time Favs but u have to have an IC in the collection too.... That smile comes anytime I make any of them, ever
I love some dirty Muff....
I think I might start experimenting with some different clipping arrangements in them.... maybe LEDs and do the resistor/emmiter mods to bump the gain back up...
