Basic Audio 2020 and/or 2021 Tourbox Review Thread
Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2020 10:23 pm
First off, sorry this took so long to get off the ground. Everybody's been really busy.
That being said, all participants will have roughly 10 days (more or less) once they receive the tourbox.
Please ship the tourbox with tracking and then PM me the tracking #. I will contact you about a week or so before you’re supposed to get the tourbox. Please, PM me back to confirm all’s good. Otherwise you risk having your turn skipped.
Also, please, take insurance out on the tourbox when you send it. $400 should probably do it. Thanks.

Oh, yeah, also, please, post in this thread when you receive the tourbox.
The Targets:
John's description of said targets:
Kay Fuzz - Octave up fuzz similar to the Super Fuzz and Foxx Tone Machine but lower gain and more course. Diode lift, Octave cut and FAT toggle switches add a lot of flexability in gain, tone and overall feel.
Fuzz Rite - silicon FuzzRite-based. (more to come…)
Low Volt - Germanium fuzz based on Zippy and Shin Ei Companion fuzz. Starved (Low battery) , broken and mis-biased with big grain texure. Broken, bloom and ducking sounds available via extreme settings and with toggle switches. "This pedal uses a positive ground power set up. It can be powered with an isolated center negative tap, but not daisy chained with other negative ground pedals."
Pendulum - based on the Earth Sound Research Graphic Fuzz. Without the Osc mode off it's basically just the Graphic Fuzz without clipping diodes. less sizzle and fuzzies...more open, but still big bold fuzz with a lot of variety. With the Osc toggle On it's ALL OVER THE PLACE and has a lot of sounds from big and bold to FZ-1 thin and fuzzy. Wide range of oscillation frequency as well. "Pendulum works on a floating +/- and ground power scheme. It needs to be an isolated tap."
All pedals use a 9v DC jack and have a battery snap. Special instructions for the Low Volt: "This pedal uses a positive ground power set up. It can be powered with an isolated center negative tap, but not daisy chained with other negative ground pedals." (Thanks, Jero, for catchin' that.) Also: Pendulum works on a floating +/- and ground power scheme.
It needs to be an isolated tap. (Thanks again, Jero.)
