Other Stuff

I originally started by building these in 1590LB enclosures. This format was fun, but too cramped to easily accomadate new features. Ultimately I redesigned this to fit into the 1590A as seen above.

I did enjoy this design phase. The perfectly square enclosure is oddly satisfying, and the sheer density of internal parts gave it some real weight. It also makes for nicely symmetrical photos, as you can see:

• Handmade from start to finish

• Point to point wiring; true bypass

• Each pedal is individually optimized (retrospectively tedious)

• Input snubber shunts excess highs to ground

  • This is a big part of why Ge sounds different - lower bandwidth

• Switchable tone shaping - push-pull pot

• Very compact - two inches square

Recorded through a clean Fender 5F6-A style combo amplifier, coupled with a Stratocaster run directly into the Butter Booster.  Some delay in the effects loop can be heard in some takes, this is the MXR Carbon Copy. The combo amplifier features true spring reverb.
