Cool name for tube overdrive?

Forget about convenience. Definitely go with the dual tube 12 volt.

Keeping these statements in mind…
‘2 tubes,warm tube type OD pedal’
‘...Something that'd make the two effects like a series, or pair, sorta..’
‘Instead of Promiscuous Girlfriend, It could be:’

Wicked Wench / Wicked Woman
The Sultry Mistress
The Shameless Hussy
Hot N Sultry
The Fat Lush
Black Lush

Moon's Molten Lush
Twin Thruster
Tube Thruster
Tube Thrust Drive
(I think I'm stuck).

thanx for the advice, it's hard to ask the fellow building the pedal to break down all the different questions I have,
I basically need a science lesson on tubes,voltage etc
and I can't exactly ask him to break down the the entire science of it to me.

I went w the dual tube/12 volt pedal
( dual 5840 submini tubes)
and decided to forget about the convenience of the 9 v pedal,
Its tonal choices are wide
and the higher voltage pedal just sounds so good.

I don't know the tonal connotations associated with 1 tube vs 2,
Or higher voltages, but I do know what the soundclips tell me,
And the high voltage pedal just killed.

This seemed very Marshall-like to me, (which is what I'm after)
A couple of colleagues warned against tube pedals,
" another thing to break or go wrong" etc.

After bugging the poor fellow for clips and clips and more clips..
I just listened over & over, comparing clips in headphones
and his just hit the bullseye.

I thought the tone of it just felt right.

I figure the worst thing,Ill need another power cord for the 12 volt pedal,
I just plug two cords in.big deal.
Or put batteries in the other 2-3 pedals


My latest title is:
MOON UNIT
also considering a sci fi theme:
BASS BORG
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Gotta decide soon!!!!

No real advice man. Those are just the original statements I had in mind when coming up with some names.


BASS BORG

I like it.
 
i was gonna go w the star trek theme,
I like the idea of using the red LED for a Borg's prosthetic eyepiece
should be real creepy, but I'm considering scrapping the idea, just doesn't do it for me...
got a lot of cool images I'm working with..
