6 Beneficiaries: Chankgeez, sev*(own an OG), tigerbass, whiskey_face, D.o.S., CliffBass 1 Han Solo: Deltaphoenix
Beneficiaries decide which version you would like, what mods, do you want some socketed bits on the inside to switch between versions how big do you like your knobs?
My dream pedal would be sounding exactly like the original...no mods there...except a tone knob capable of a little more top boost than the OG. Looks wise, I'm open...but I'm a fan of Sonny's Bluebeard - just the raw casing, no paint to get chipped, tough, no need to baby it, throw it in a bag and go. Just me.
So 2, maybe 3 of us are building 2-3 of these each? One for ourselves and then each builder gets 2 beneficiaries to build for?
Is the general consensus that they are to be made stock, with maybe a slight tweak here or there (tone section perhaps)? Or is that something each builder should discuss with each benefi.?
Thank you Moose23 for heading up the Justice League Europe contingent that is very thoughtful of you. Now that we have a verified 3 builder 6 beneficiary thing going on with a solo Han Solo. I figure now is the time that beneficiaries pick their builder. And we can then have the project move ahead with each smaller group working at maximum efficiency. Things to consider:stock/Many mods/several socketed/switchable components Aesthetics or lack thereof And when people want to start.
For me: If everyone wants stock I'll do it but what I make for myself will have a variety of switches if they are beneficial so I am all about overkill Aesthetics ???? Whatever makes you smile because that's why I'm doing this. When I can start. I was looking at February but I reeeeeeally need to get every person that was added to my Bluebeard waitlist before Dec 31 2011 taken care of before I start this labor of love. So I can start building April 1st (no fooling') If everyone is raring to go and I am too late for folks I will donate free parts for use in everyone's pedal.

Yeah that sounds good Sonny. Overkill is ALWAYS good, as long as it is for the BETTER good! It is great as is, but having had one before, I would have NO problem with extra goodies! I will pick Sonny as a builder unless you are already full then I will choose Jero, unless he is already full haha!
If it's possible to get some Weasels RIpped My Flesh graphics going on, that'd be sick, but my only real sticking point is chickenhead knobs. Stock circuit is fine by me.
Not that I'm impatient or anything, but I'd like my Bass Fuzz sooner rather than later.
For that reason alone, I'm ruling Sonny out as my builder of choice. (Sorry, Sonny. You're still awesome for initiating this whole thing. Well, you and sev.)
I'll choose Jero as the builder of my pedal.
I'll be happy with whatever Jero cares to build for me. Seriously. Don't care how it looks, only care that it sounds unearthly and world crushingly badass.

I already own one pedal of Sonny's and one pedal of Jero's.... I could go with either as my builder. I might lean toward Sonny since this is his hijacking of the thread that I started. Haha
I'm open to extra options/switches, especially if one of them is some sort of high end boost (for guitar use). I'm open as far as visual aesthetics go. I'm a fan of pedals that are durable and don't chip/scratch too easily. (I heart Bluebeard)
The powder coated enclosures I get are from pedalpartsplus, so if you want me to build yours, please give their enclosures(1290 or bigger) and colors a gander. Then I can add a decal or paint if you'd like.
Started breadboarding this today, so we'll see how it sounds tomorrow!
