Well...I'll just say that the special feature is loaded with versatility

Come on, I'm begging. What is it?

[Ax]

I got two extra features on mine... Mine was a rangemaster clone and he added a full/treble switch and then switchable capacitors for both the full circuit and the treble circuit... also the ruskie stuff.. needless to say, best pedal i've ever purchased.

It's always good to hear that. Now, if we could only figure out what it is.

Maybe they should, Eric... from your ebay account...

As it turns out, it did get a special feature, but not the one you're thinking of.

I am way curious. I am getting back to the states on Sunday.

RipVanWinkle is actually going to be jealous when he sees what you guys are getting compared to the measly little add on he got.

Ha...yep

I'll let the cat out,

Eric made me a tap switch. He added a switch to flip polarity to maximize compatibility across the different kinds of tap-enabled effects out there.

Well, that's a little over my head, but the feature definitely sounds cool and as long as it sounds good, I'll be even more tickled than I already am.

YES!!! I've always wanted a tap tempo on my dirt pedals!

OK, some pics for you...sorry, some of you guys know photography isn't my suite. And this is on my little cellphone.

Here she is. This is one of the etched one to give you an idea of what the final product will look like. Notice that I was ale to fit in some of the smaller lettering. The etch leaves some...or a lot....of pitting. It looks kinda like Edward James Olmos' face. The decaled version will be much cleaner.



Also notice that I've gone with a slightly deeper enclosure. That was so I could do something cool like this:



The cool special feature is dual effects loops. One before the OD, and one after. So, if you want to throw in a different effect before the DIST but after the boost, you can. What's even more cool about this is that inserting a cable into the SEND of each loop only splits the signal, so you can run two amps, a tuner, or parallel effects, whatever your mind can come up with. (the buffer is recommended if you want to use it as a splitter). The loop doesn't turn on until you insert a cable into the RETURN....make sense? This allows for even more versatility. For example: Want to run the boost after the DIST? Guitar-->Return 2----> output----> input----> Send 1---> amp. Another example: Want a instant feedback of death machine (maybe, I haven't tested this yet)? Add a volume pedal between Send 1 and Send 2

Even if you ordered the etched version, the back will have a decal labeling the loops, input, output, and 9v. There were just too many holes back there to try and make sense of it. Once the pedal gets a clear coat it'll blend in nicely.

Here the list of who's getting etched and who's getting decals. This can still change if you decide you want the other, but not for long, I'll be getting these enclosures done fast.

BSPE etched
Corndog87 decal
SOTC1987 decal
Snizzle ??????let me know
cheyguy426 decal
Bread Man etched
Rainer. decal
bravesfan007 decal on blue pedal
Gustin etched
Almost Enough etched
K-lub242 etched
Skeeter decal

Oh man! That sounds crazy cool.

It may take some time for me to fully understand what the heck that all means... But I can't wait to try it out!

Any chance I could bother you for an etch version instead of a decal? That thing looks amazing!

OMG!

Edit: Let me rephrase that. I'm pretty stoked. This will make it so I can run the different effects into one another, correct? Or if I wanted to throw my TS in before my distortion for a different boost/overdrive, I could do that as well?

No problem. Understand that with the etch you might get a cleaner look, or a dirtier look, but no two will be exactly alike.

Yeah, If you want to add a lil eagle after the OD, plug it into loop 2. If you want a wah after the boost, plug it into loop 1. If you want to add a tuner without it messing with your signal, plug it into SEND 1 (and make sure the buffer is on).

Basically, the signal travels like this: Input -> boost -> buffer -> send 1 -> return 1 -> OD -> send 2 -> return 2 -> Dist -> output. Now, if you don't mess with the loop at all, it'll work just like that.

Or, you can basically split it up into three different effect boxes, and arrange them (using patch cables) in whatever order pleases you. In other words:
Boost
In- Input
Out - Send 1

OD
In - Return 1
Out - Send 2

Dist
In - Return 2
Out - Output.

That sounds confusing....Basically, there is a connection between send and return, and that connection is broken when you insert a plug into return.

DUDE.





the special feature...

That is flipping, flagrantly, and fantastically awesome.

Also, once I get the pedal, you will get some nice photos.
