Here is a quick demo of the DWJ Boutique Pedals Jfet Booster. Let me know what you think about the pedal, I am wanting to gather some feedback for the builder on this build. Best Viewed in HD Quality.

Enjoy!

Sounds real nice, modeerf.

Video has a nice low end, hopefully that comes through with the pedal in real life as well and is not just the recording. Sweet clear grind too.

I'm confused though as to if this pedal has selectable stereo outs or if the demo is just recorded with a switcher to go back and forth between amps. The latter of which is what I'm guessing is the case. Unless I wasn't paying close enough attention, I don't think that was quite explained anywhere.

It says at 0:27 that a Lehle Little Dual was used so I'm guessing that's how the amps were switched.

As far as the pedal goes...it sounds pretty good but its lack of a foot switch would be reason enough for me
not to even consider purchasing it. An LED would also be nice but I assume that would come with a foot switch.

Apart from that, I'd suggest the builder get some sort of web site going so those who are interested can get more info.

Thanks, MEC.

As usual, I wasn't paying close enough attention.

Agghh MEC beat me...



I like the sound A LOT but the jacks and what MEC said are a turnoff... In "regular" pedal format this would KILL... And Top Mounted Jacks so more people would buy it...

Thanks guys, yup the Lehle little dual was used to switch amps.
He said he originally made this design for a pedal steel player so he left it on all the time, but otherwise it's an attempt to build something non-standard. He can build these in standard setups too, perhaps I'll have him do one like that.

I appreciate the feedback, I know the non-standard form is a turn off for most people. Not very convenient at all and it's understandable. I kinda dug it as something different myself but I like quirky unusual pedals even if they don't play well on pedalboards. But I also agree this build could be better and more usuable, all easy fixes as long as the sound is there.

I think he's got a facebook page, although I'm not sure as I don't have one myself. I'll find out how people can get aquainted with his stuff and let you know.

Yeah people here are OCD with their boards and the way things fit... It does sound RAD and would be cool in a "normal enclosure"... With so many makers and places selling parts I'm sure it'd be cheaper to make them in pedal format too...
