Have you thought about putting together something along the lines of a Fulltone Bass Drive, i.e., Tubescreamer/overdrive circuit but with better bass response? I know you have the Oh See Demon and Dark Driving, but I don't know if the OSD has enough low end and vice versa for the DD? I think I did read something about the DD getting the "more treble" treatment? Welcoming any input!

Thanks!

Nah.
The OCD has all the bass or treble needed. I have my hands full on pedals, but anything is possible down the line!
The new DDs are capable of a less dark gain setting.
 
Just got Dark Driving number 031, the first one with the toggle apparently:

Sounds great! I'll try it at rehearsal at the next jam later this week.

With the toggle to the left, the tone is a brighter with less output, I dont really hear too much difference in the amount of distortion, it just adds more high end content. Toggle to the right gives a darker tone, however I could get it plenty bright by adjusting the trimpot inside as well. I assume toggle to the right is the original circuit.

Paint job is sweet and everything is solid but the solder for the LED seems to have come loose during shipping. I think I know where it needs to go but can you please confirm Ry? Should I connect it to the bottom right hand corner under the 100k trim? looks like it is labeled as "out" on the board.

tried to get some pictures, this is as clear as it got with my iphone.

The 10,000th reason that I HATE USPS/Canadian postal dealings KAJsdfkjskjfksdjkfjaskldjfklasdkfjaskfjlsdfjaskdfklsdlfjaskldjfklasjklfjsdjfklasjdf

It goes to "LED+". Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh! I hate international shipping!!!
Stock is the lower output/bassier side. Mod is the brighter/hotter output.

no worries man, 30 second solder job, we have light!


interesting, to my ears the lower output side is slightly brighter. can you explain how the trimpots work? is the bass control boost/cut, cut only, boost only?

One cuts bass, the other cuts gain.
Plain n simple.
I set them for full gain, full bass!
 
Seeing that makes me wish I hadn't just cancelled my order for a DD :crying:

However, I still have a Tremorslo (#005 to match GS+ #005 :D) on the way

You'll be happy with those two :) I have those on my board right now. Still love the DD, but currently it's on vacation, looking pretty in the gear locker.

I just received my DD about a week or two ago. Its number 30. I guess mine is the last to not have a toggle! Simpler is bliss ;) So far sounds great! Can I get number?


Yeap, as soon as I get home tonight.
