I also just built a catalinbread DLS MKIII and after a couple of mods I've got it sounding really good. i'm just waiting for the enclosure for it now.
off topic, but I also built a BJFE SWAW (snow white auto-wah), and it sounds great too.

The Snow White really has a cool thing going on, definitely it's own voice as a filter.
So John, I dig my Barbershop but have been giving thoughts to trying out the Fuzzrocious BDPG as a replacement. Obviously they have their differences (one being a preamp with gain, the other an overdrive) but since you built a Submarine and added the LPB-1 I was wondering if you could give your thoughts on how the two compare?

i did try adding the LPB-1 on to my sub but i really didn't care for them together, so I ended up just building the sub as a stand alone pedal. to me, the barbershop is a hard pedal to beat, or replace.
IMO, out of all of the pedals that I've built (over a 150 now), the only one that kinda sounds like the barbershop is my modified Keeler Pull, but IMO, the barbershop is 100X better.
Yeah, playing with the Barbershop last night I'd have to agree. Transparent, touch sensitive and really just adds some grit like a tube amp being pushed into the sweetspot a bit. And it sounds fantastic when recording.
I may add something downstream for tone shaping, but the Barbershop is staying.

Please tell me you can fit that board in a 1590BB...

got my DLS MKIII completed. I wasn't that thrilled with it stock so I modded the heck out of it and to me, it sounds really great now:

Well... that's modded alright. What did your mods do to the stock sound?

made the distortion sound alot better, and brought out more mids and highs. IMO, it's a very muddy pedal and I didn't care for it at all in its stock version.

Yes, he has. John posted about it either early on in this thread or near the end of part one. There's a picture and description on his website. I'd be working from memory of my long since gone BBBOD but I'd love to hear a clip to see how it compares.
