there are a ton of distortion pedals here that probably sound as good if not better than one of these, you just have to dig.

Huh. I had no idea that all Toneczar stuff runs at 18v. I wonder why? :scratch:

High headroom for compatibility with recording and mixing equipment as a large amount of Ed's sales are to studios.

I had an Openhaus and it was a cool pedal but a little too dark for me. It didn't have the presence and bite that I wanted. Got a Dove and kept it instead. The lower gain really makes the pedal shine.

A nice "Hello" (in the first post) is something affordable even in a 3rd world country, isn“t it ?
Where are my manners? :slap: Sorry for parachuting :) Hello everybody.
Even this can be interesting or pedals made in your region....
I hope I will contribute to this community some day. :thumbsup
In the meantime use your time, energy and money to improve your guitar playing skills.
Hell yeah, I'm working on my chops every day.
Here is a little wallpaper for you
Thanks, but I have a better one :wink: -> Heidi

I'm thinking about building Crunch box for jcm800 tones(is that the best jcm800 in a box?). Beside that I want a diffrent flavour dist. Something like Mesa Boogie emulation would be nice (but more like mark IIc+, not Recto series). Any recommendations?

What is Dove? I'm more interested in high gain though.

The Dove is the low/medium gain version of the Openhaus. Looks the same but has a green led. :D

if you want jcm800 tones build a box of rock, you might like a catalinbread dirty little secret for higher gain.
