XLNT SUPER CHEAP bass overdrive

Didn't like the "devil" graphics but bought a Fuzzrocious Demon...LOL! I know I shouldn't laugh, but the irony had to be pointed out ;)

Me, I'm keeping the graphics as they are. It's only a drawing...not like I'm endorsing Satanism or anything ;)

Jimmym i would love to see a pic of your board man, i don't believe i've ever saw it and you're one of the most helpfull guys here

Thx bro...this is my most recent pic. Got rid of the Morley for a Loopmaster Micro AB, though. It'll change here and there based on what I need and what I feel like lugging, but this is the most recent version of it:

Funny Jimmy, in Sept. 2008 you posted this:

"I haven't tried the Linden, but it's just the Baxandall tone controls like what's on a B-15. There's no reason it would sound tubey on its own. It will certainly manipulate an amp's EQ like a B-15, but that's it. But the VT does awesome recreations of B-15 tones. You can even make it imitate mic'ed tones pretty well. Pedal of the future."

I see your board, and you now have the Linden, but not the VT Pedal! How times change things, eh? What made you give up the VT Pedal for the Linden?

Thanks,

I didn't care for the graphics on the joyo (IMO black and red is so passe') so I used some stripper and stripped it, then relableled it and installed black knobs. it didn't require any sanding since it was pretty smooth under the paint.

I didn't even realize its graphic was a devil at first, and that really wasn't what bothered me. to me, it was just the funky looking paint job.

That looks awesome. Did you take pics of the process of doing this, or just the end result of the work?

Good question, Sean. The noticeable compression when I use my tube amps was the big reason, plus I only have a VT Deluxe now and I wanted a smaller board. I still like it very much otherwise, but I decided that with a REDDI and Ampeg tube amps, I just didn't need it like I used to.

And the Linden is an EQ only for my upright.
 
The pedal boosts my signal when it is bypassed... it's advertised as a true bypass on Amazon, but it obviously is not. It doesn't color the tone at all just boosts it by about 3db... haven't dug into it further to see why this is happening because I'm putting it in a parallel loop anyway... it still sounds good though.

that sucks.....does this occur with all the Joyo OD pedals?
