Remember when it was just that little tadpole er' Frog?

Now..how crazy would it be if you put one of those pop up cigarette lighters in it as an add-on for use on stage and in the studio? Might be a fire hazard.

That's one flatulent beast of a pedal. Quite excellent stuff. Reminds me of when I throw the old VF in the Spectacular Aenima's feedback loop. Gut rattling.

i konw, I know, but it's just not reliable enough.

Devi's order should be to her in under a week, depending on the goddamn postal service...

After that I believe she'll have them up in the ebay store...

Aen, that's a BEAUTIFUL pedal! =D Loving the sound, and the "name written with the finger" look..=P I read "TBD" first though, that was funny..

anyway, love the sound! How come it makes noise and such when you turn down the volume/tone knobs on the 72' Custom? never seen a pedal react like that to such simple things like turning the volume/tone knob down..

Something to do with impedance and or resistance, i reckon. But i don't really know!

When i was breadboarding this thing, it wasn't doing shit, because I was using an alternate version of the main IC, so I just started swapping out parts for ones with insane values, and TGD was born. (thats actually spray painted, that one got a little bloated....)

It also doesnt do that with every guitar. My 50's calssic tele is in the video, you can hear how differently it sounds. My bass also doesnt have quite the dynamic squeeling range of the Squier Tele Custom II.

I should add here that feeding synths and drum machines through this thing yields all sorts of "zoo animals over the edge of insanity" textures. Very refreshing.

so i still really want one of these pedals... I just haven't looked into it to see about actually paying for it... and a lot of crap has happened lately which may make me poor for forever, but either way, I just wanted to ask about the guitar... The first one... the custom such-and-such (I don't know shit about guitars)... are the tone knobs just generally really noticeable and responsive? I really liked the noises you could make with them but my guitar has two tone knobs that seem to do absolutely nothing, so I figure it wouldn't respond as well *because* they aren't terribly responsive and don't seem to produce a wide range of frequencies or whatever it is tone knobs produce... sank yew.

PS: I miss Crystal Pepsi... I know it was just Pepsi without dye.. but I still thought it was pretty fucking AMAZING...
