The prices of Wayfarer's can now have the TGP Tax (tm).

Thanks for the reply and info, Jimmy. Congratulations on baby #2. That's very exciting. (my one and only is about to turn 5).

The Dark Driving and SFT do sound very good. I'll keep those in mind.

Thanks again,
Jeremy

My pleasure.

Ry and I were developing the DD and what would eventually become the heartbreaker side by side. The primary difference is the overall voltage to the IC and the clipping diodes. Otherwise they're essentially the same circuit.

The early DD's came with trimpots, but I've always liked those controls on the outside.

Long time, no type.

I'm not going to try to sell this too hard, but I wanted to give y'all first dibs.

I'm clearing out gear and I thought I'd let y'all know that I've got a Wild Goose overdrive on the block. I built several of these to sell a while back, but I've been hanging onto this one as my own personal model, but I'm not playing out just now and I'm clearing out some of my gear.

This is a 12AU7 driven overdrive with gain/tone/vol controls hand-built by yours truly with a NOS JAN tube and all high quality carbon comp resistors / mallory caps. The on/off switch engages the heaters so that the pedal is warm and ready when you hit the footswitch.



This is no high gain distortion pedal, but it's a great way to add tube character, grit and girth to your solid state or to drive the preamp of your tube amp.

Great on guitar or bass.

I may also have a used Wayfarer if anyone's interested.

PM if you want more info.

Jimmy,

Mine doesn't have the on/off switch. Does mine automatically warm the tube when power is plugged in? I haven't played on it in a while, so I'm rusty on the details.

Yep, with yours the heaters are active whenever the power adapter is plugged in. The switch allows you to leave it plugged in, but still be able to cut the power to the heaters.

Sweet score whoever.... I still have both of mine and still play them on occasion. I'm about to cycle the WF back on the board for a stint.

I know, I'm going to be sad to see that one go, but I'm scratching up funds to finish this:

I saw that sweet little guitar amp you posted on FB a few weeks ago. If I played guitar at all, I would have probably bought it from you. That thing was sweet and priced to sell!

Yeah, I generally sell them at cost so I can fund the next build. I'll probably be selling another combo soon.

My current build is a JTM45-ish head that can double for guitar/bass depending on the cab.

This is really the first time I've built something functional for bass as well, so there'll probably be a bass amp for sale soon

I had one for a while. It's mellow, but gives a tube-like warmth to your tone. I got a tube preamp that replaced it, but it's good for price. Try it after dirt pedals to give their sound more depth and feel.
