Check out my custom Time Bomb Boost!
As a special request, Gearmanndude was willing to make mine sideways, "Zvex-style". I also mailed him my own case & knobs because I wanted that brushed-gold 70's Marshall vibe. I also added the waterslide decals myself for the text on it.
If you're not familiar, the TBB is a clone of the original DOD 250 boost/overdrive with premium components. It sounds incredible
I have it in my chain before a Rockett Animal OD and it stacks wonderfully as well.
What'd y'all think?

I think it looks fucking cool, nailed that Marshall faceplate vibe for sure! Didn't realize GMD was making pedals too?
Sound clips?

There's a bunch of Timebomb Boost demos on YouTube including some shootouts with high-dollar boosts.
Here's one from toneshack:
http://youtu.be/O433-19mWFQI like it even more as an OD than a boost. I usually keep it just above unity gain with some dirt added. He's only charging $107 for these. Awesome deal, ay? He also makes a "Luther Drive" which is his modded tubescreamer clone. That one is not for me, but I love the TBB. And the Marshally-ness of this one just makes me smile to look at it

GMD videos are amusing if not for his oozing personality.

Also, 250 fucking rules.

He's not Jack Black, that much is known. Not sure why it's so hush-hush, so I won't ruin his secret. But once again, he's most certainly NOT Jack Black.

it's not really hush hush anymore. i feel kinda bad for him because there are some people spamming all his personal details on his videos like the know it alls they wish they were. i knew his identity WAY before the youtube noob squadron did

I still don't know who he is. Probably 'cause I don't watch youtube pedal demos unless linked.
