3Leaf Audio Club - Episode 2

Just curious, does anyone know what the production numbers are for Spencer’s pedals? I remember the LBB and Enabler were around 100 units each.

From what I recall, LBBs and Enablers were fairly limited runs compared to some later stuff. He mentioned that certain components (headphone-related) on the Enabler were either super expensive or hard to get after a few runs. So that limited production. Pwnzor was also pretty limited - I think under 150-200 units maybe?

Obviously the filters and octabvre went through multiple iterations. Seems like the Wonderlove, later Proton, and Octabvre minis were most plentiful. The YD/Doom/Doom 2 were also fairly easy to find until the recent insanity.

It’s funny - I owned everything except the Chromatron and Doom 2 at one point or another. As much as I love some of the 3Leaf stuff, I would never pay 2-3x Spencer’s new, direct price for them. I’m curious if he starts production again how many people who panic-purchased trying to collect rarities will be holding the bag on something they expected to be top-dollar unobtanium. If I’ve learned one thing about pedals from this site, it’s that pedal buyers are fickle and crazy…

If anyone has $700 burning a hole in their pocket, there’s a sociopath on reverb valuing a Wonderlove V2 at that. He’s touting that “each one is made by the owner of the company.” Funny how that works with tiny pedal builders who run one-man companies. You mean they do all the stuff? Crazy.

You should argue he doesnt print the boards or graphics, its not like hand wire-wire turret or anything. This is what happenes when non users or enthusiasts try to make a buck off of unfortunate circumstances or assumptions.

At that rate I can sell my chromatron/MK3/Doom2 all for 3ķ in a year....said me, never

Lol. That's like saying, this specific unit was designed with the musician in mind. Handcrafted to be used for sound, this specific stomp box doubles as an effect pedal for any sound source. When plugged into a power source and connected to both an input and an output, this pedal really makes sound. I know opinions vary, but this is the best sound I have ever heard. If you are reading this, then you probably already can read words so you should just get it, you know you want it! If you don't, I'm sure someone else will get it or put it in their cart to make you think that they will buy it any second...just waiting for that check to clear. Don't miss out. Each component has been individually soldered to the right spot on the board to make that circuit work how it's intended.

How are they different from each other ?

The Doom 2 has 5 rotary knobs and two switches, whereas the You're Doom has 4 rotary knobs and one switch.

For the Doom 2, it seems spencer went with a dedicated switch rather than a knob for the mix control, though the switch doesn't work the same way as the mix knob does. He also added a 3 band eq, whereas the You're Doom didn't have that option, just a tone knob. The switch between "standard" and "dynamic" fuzzes remains the same, though to my ear the dynamic side has more depth to it, but that might just be wishful thinking.

The biggest difference to me is how the switch changes what the bass knob does, from rolling in a full band clean signal to just low end. I haven't played a 2 yet but the one complaint I've got about my You're Doom is that the clean blend doesn't sound super integrated. For what I'm doing with it in the loop of a Wonderlove, it's fine, but I think that's a great option built into the 2, even though I'm generally a fewer knobs are better guy when it comes to dirt.

The EQ section is kinda ambigous. The bass knob is actually a clean blend, not a bass frequency knob. The bass/clean switch could be viewed as a bass boost applied to the volume of the dry signal.

I thought the switch engaged the bass as the blend? Thats what Im noticing, FCC is dry, FCW is all fuzz. I think the only EQ control that does actual standard cut/boost is the mid. The treble is some kind of bandpass as well

On the Doom2

The bass knob controls the level of the unaffected signal depending on the switch position: bass (low passed) or clean (full range).

The treble knob rolls off high end, fully clockwise is full range.

The volume knob is just for the fuzz level.

Yeah, so clean volume with the option to remove the highs with the clean/bass switch. I would have called it differently!
