The Watering Hole

Without a doubt the most versatile, fat, thick, sparkly TS-variant I've made, and definitely one of my faves I've ever heard.  

This one has two clipping options, for traditional and louder. Traditional is the standard TS clipping, louder is... louder.  

The Punch switch increases the low end and gain before clipping... this shifts the frequency center of the TS from the mid-honk at 738Hz to a fat and healthy 270Hz, and increases the gain factor by about 4x.  These options are similar to my previous TS808 version.

However, this TS has a redesigned tone section that uses a different method to provide control over the low pass and high pass EQ at the same time. The pedal sounds a lot more open, has more capability for brightness, and does not have the emphasis in the mids that a stock TS has... it's flatter but capable of warm, cool, aggressive, bright, or mellow tones.  It's capable of all sorts of cool tones and it's my mainstay drive pedal right now.

Guts--nailed one cap with the soldering iron, and it was a durn expensive cap too! but only affected the epoxy.

dig the knobs!

got any freaked out fuzzes in the pipeline? maybe filter stuff? time based?

after the machine, I can't really get into normal things anymore! ha.
Ooh, I'll think about that. I'm looking for a new project and there are a lot of possibilities.
