[Muse FTW]

Where do people keep finding these old SDD's?

Yes I am jelly.

I get to join this club courtesy of Mr. Vertigo now (it says a lot about his Cosmichorus selection when this wasn't even his coolest one so he could sell it haha). This is my bass board. Loving the Cosmichorus so far. It's seems like the perfect mod pedal for bass.

Nice board Josh!

I love(d)! that one.

The kirby cosmi is my #1 cosmi, so it doesnt make much sense to keep both since they do the exact same thing. I now have one of each version, so no more cosmi's for me, unless i find a sexier 3 knobber out there.. but #11 is pretty hawt.

I'm happy you are enjoying it, it is one of my favourite finishes ever, and the first one-off dr scientist pedal i ever bought.

Ryan and Tanya have been making em in secret and selling them for ma$$ive cash on ebay via a bunch of shady accounts.

Well as I started this thread off I thought I may as well post my final board even though some of you are gonna think I'm a complete bell end!
I've gone through so many pedals theses last three years its fucking stupid, I've sort of realised I've been pissing in the wind for a lot of that time. Not having a damn clue what it was or more specifically the sound I've been trying to achieve.
I've also had the pleasure of dealing with some fantastic builders, not just in terms of the pedals they build but they themselves are just absolutely amazing human beings.
This also made me want to support theses builders even more as people like Ryan need/deserve to be kept in business. I will admit though this did lead me to buying pedals that I wasn't 100% sure I needed/wanted

I have come to a couple of realisations though after all this time.
I hate reverb. I really tried to like it, created some nice sounds but ultimately its just not me

I also have a love hate relationship with delay.
Again I've had some amazing boxes, the eL cap and sunny day being two astounding ones, again though I kept finding they weren't for me!
So having built an amazing Dr s collection even managing to acquire my favourite pedal finish in the whole world the skywatcher rrr, I still kept getting a nagging feeling something just wasn't right for me though.

A lot of my pedals over the last few years have been through Joe of joes pedals, who ryan will testify is a top top bloke who really does go above and beyond to help you out.
I rang Joe and we talked about the sounds I was trying to achieve, styles of music I liked, bands etc to get an idea of what I wanted which as it turned out was more of a 50s/60s rock n roll sound.
He recommended I try the od-1 vintage overdrive by a chap called Vincent Loret of VL effects in Paris. Now id seen this on joes website and instantly dismissed it due to the price and the fact that id never heard of the builder.
Joe sent me it to try, and he was absolutely spot on. Its by a country mile the nicest (for me) od I've ever played.
I've since got some more of Vincents pedals and have found its the germanium transistors that appeal to me. They seem to have an inherent warmth I've not encountered in other pedals before.
I've not gassed for another pedal since putting this board together a few months ago which is a record for me. And tbh I really can't see it changing. Both builders have built amazing pedals and are both great people who I will always be happy to support. Thanks so much Ryan you really are the Ace Rimmer of the pedal world!!!!

Suppose I'd best post a PIC after rambling for half an hour!

[Ryan]

It's a loverly board, Andy! I'd love to check out those VL pedals, they look cool! Joe sure is a good tone guy hey? And geez, Ace Rimmer of the pedal world, you sure know how to flatter a guy! *big smile*

Nice to see you around you smegger!

I wouldn't mind seeing more Giorgio around too!

Finally got an Elements, and holy moley it's awesome! Put my board back together and now it looks like this:

what color is your whetstone? I like my candy apple green, but that looks hawt as well.

[t-rey]

It's gunmetal gray with green flake in it. One of the snazzier color schemes if I do say so myself

[drehpehs]

Latest and Greatest.



Changes since the last pic:

I've taken the phaser off of the board, I love it, but its just so large, and i find i don't use all of the different settings enough to warrant such a big footprint. Might sell it off, not sure, as i did have it custom made in the green.

I am using one of the cosmi's as a psuedo phaser with a slow sweep. It's working great in my mustang sally cover band

Ryan hurry up and make a phaser ffs.

Replaced the silver trem with a nice vinyl version of the latest design, and picked up another 4 knobber SDD, since i sold my other two off to Jake.

Also added my 4 knob vinyl frazz to the board, i'm enjoying having two different fuzzes on the board again.

Almost done. I promise this time.

that Kirby Cosmi is freaking sick! Freaking stunning board!

would've loved to see a demo of this board.

[stripes]

terminalvertigo, you rule so hard.. every time i see the kirby i could shed a tear for letting it go... but on that board i know it's right where it belongs.

[colin]

I think my board belongs in here. Just got the bigbox RRR, its where my tuner normally goes. I think I can cram it on along with my tuner with some careful rearranging though.

[Ryan]

I think it does too, Colin, bigtime! Awesome board!

[terminalvertigo]

Couple Changes:

Changed out my Skywatcher Reverberator for the led color changing prototype RRR and swapped the binary elements for a wilderness one.
