Broughton Audio Super Thread

[Azure Skies]

Sorry for the email notification failing again (although I really doubt it would have been helpful for this drop). I sent an angry email to my website provider. I have one foot out the door with these guys. I may just get rid of the button all together, then nobody would ever complain again, right?

And again, I would never sell less than 25 for a release, and even that is very small for me. This thread is a small subset of my customer base, you don't get the full picture of who is buying stuff from here.

This and comparing to the Cali-76 TX is what I’m aiming to find out.

I've never played a TX, but a TX-L was my main compressor for years. That's probably the better piece of comparandum anyway since it and the DLA-2A employ Lundahl transformers. 1176 compression is quite different from LA-2A compression, though, so I'm curious what you find. They might just be different favors of excellence.

I'm whiling to bet there's some tube gain character with the transparence of a TX-L

Can we go back to the days of sending you memes?


Oh… wait… I never stopped. Ne’ mind.

Give us names. TB does not like competition.

I imaging there's quite a contingent of lurkers here. Heck, I lurked this thread for a whole year before engaging with you peeps.

Sorry to everyone who actively tried but failed this drop. I lucked out by forgetting to try. Any reason that a tube boost could not some day become an in stock item like the Scorpion?

 

[PlumbBass]

Whatdjya get?

One of these. I’ve tried some of his other pedals and there were excellent. Should start building it next week. Figured it’s a small price to give a shot to some tubey-ness.

How’d that turn out for ya?

But we are your favorites and we should get first dibs!

Now that the pedalboard and power supply are in hand time to build the new board.
But was wondering what voltage folks are running certain pedals at. Sure I'm going to try different settings but its also good to get others insight. 9V or 18V for the Omnicomp, Scorpion, Calamity, Messenger Jr. Currently I'm running the Scorp & Clam at 9V. I've only used/tested Omni & Mess Jr. @9V.

Contingency in case I missed a drop
About to get wierd up in here

@Azure Skies

AVB accepts 9v - 12v. Is there any difference in performance such as more headroom between them?

A subtle difference; 12v will be slightly louder, perhaps slightly less hair.

Omni - no difference in performance, it is regulated
Scorpion - probably doesn't matter, clipping diodes dictate the headroom
Calamity - matters a bit, especially in no diodes mode. It will be louder, less compressed, and less distorted
Messenger Jr - more clean headroom, but if you don't get clipping at 9V, you won't hear a difference

Thanks, Josh. Softer, harrier 9v it is.

You don't make friends lurking.
This is the greatest hole on the Internet.
I love all of you.

With an exception to @jaibeau, who is currently on probation.

I've also become a much better cook.

That looks sweet, thanks for the info.
