Of late I've enjoyed slamming them with a purple pedal I had built by one of our long-time members, a dual treble booster (the booster half of a Bee Baa and a germanium Rangemaster with switchable order).

I could probably live with that combo in the dirt department without complaint.
How does the boost part compare to the rangemaster? I thought it was just turning off a volume knob before the fuzz (i think im confusing this with some hohner? fuzz)
It's two different on the BeeBaa - one or the other. It's more of a dirty affair on the Bee Baa, a little fuller range. Feeding the Rangemaster into it has grand results simply because it makes everything go splat quite nicely!

I should note the Bee Baa boost doesn't have much clean, but it never goes to full on fuzz nor even close - it's a different character than the fuzz itself, and it's apparently loathed enough that half the Bee Baa clones change or omit it.
Sounds like a blast. My rangemaster thing has an option to activate a boost before it too. It's spunky

I dropped it and it stopped making a sound, cant figure out what happened to it :cry: kinda sad cause it was my first diy pedal. I saw your post about the tomslin in the gas thread and it looks cool. is it negative ground? it would be cool to get a couple and see how different they are. the multiwave is cool. I looked up used prices cause i assumed they were outdated and uncool by now, shocked by how much value they have held
I've got all my new minis hooked up to the Caline power supply, which has 300 ma main outputs vs the other cheapos' 100 ma...it only gets hummy when the Frequout is hooked up to it (high MA draw/needs its own). I also have the Tomsline Black Teeth now, and am very happy with that too. Feel like I've already got the best two from Tom's line, definitely gonna keep an eye on them.
Nice, nice. I have one Tomsline. It's their "blues" pedal. I have no idea what it's supposed to be. I assume bluesbreaker cause it distorts barely at all

How many folds is that? Sounds like it is a complete and utter eradication of any sinewave present :thumb:
One million folds! It's most useful for single note playing, or nasty, grating double stops. Anything more harmonic than that gives you a blast of white noise, which rules.

I know you're using a Chicago Stompworks Octave Up.

That one is a bit more "affordable" on your side of the border,
since there's free shipping in the US, but not to Canada.

:poke:
I think it's the best affordable/really nice sounding Ringer clone.

Even to Canadia, I bet it's still pretty affordable. :idk:

They're $50 (sans shippin' to Canada) right now for Black Friday: https://www.chicagostompworks.com/produ ... nger-clone

(In their FAQ, they state most orders ship to Canada for $23.99.)

Another good option may be a used EQD Tentacle (which's already in Canada?). :idk:

Thanks for the suggestion. Gup Tech seems to offer an affordable option.

Even used the best I was able to find in Canada was one selling for more than ones sell new/direct from EQD.

My friend built it for me, but it's a clone of the original Dan Armstrong. Just on/off, no knobs. Fun! :animal:

I ordered a B-stock from Gup Tech. That seems like
the most affordable way to try a green ringer out.
Even a local used EQD Tentacle was listed at twice the price.

Thanks again for the suggestion. Gup Tech seems to have some
affordable fuzz clones. I'll see how this one goes.

Will do.

Only downside was the B-stock I bought was not purple. Or green.

But I'm sure I can spray paint it if the yellow bothers me (why should it?).

Also I found out the fuzz part on the blue box is crazy! Squarest most gated fuzz I've heard which makes it very stackable :cool:
