What are you talking about ?

What's shameful or wrong here, and what do you think FSB has done wrong that would cause you to say that ?
How is this any different to the hundreds of other pedals, gutshots and circuits on here for all to share ?
No no no no..you got me wrong there :D . I'm talking of myself being one of them 'cause I'm a Filipino too.

Nothing is sacred. We can't play favorites and agree not to look inside the pedals of people we like. There is no clique or club.

If you want a selective and secretive set of rules where certain things are mysteriously off limits, you should spend some time at DIYstompboxes.com.

Oh please..Just to make things clear, I have NOTHING against here in this forum, okay?.
I'm ashamed being a Filipino for this particular build, I mean the layout used, man. :scratch:

There's no shame for Filipino's or the builder either DimebuGG.. MV has done what most builders do.. nothing else.
His pedal sounds good.
The PCB thing can be quickly fixed..
:thumbsup

sorry for the misunderstanding.

This gets back to the old chicken and egg arguement.. and the Catfight thread.. :D

Most pedals on the market are tweaked copies of something else, so I don't think you can judge anyone harshly on that.
And.. I gather he said it was based on the Crunch Box didn't he ?

Dude, it's not an Filipinian thing, alse here in Poland we have shitloud so-called boutiquers who sells things made out of tonepad, ggg, or FSB layouts. Some of them are long time members here, but inactive sadly...

Language barriers.
Different cultures..

this place has a very International mix.. and you'll find that not everyone talks in the same lingo as your family and friends.

Thank you :) And I think this word have a perfect sense, as an example - after huge meal with bean, and a lot of cabbage shit can be very loud, but this is off topic :) Should I start proctological tread? :mrgreen:

I made the Crunch Box using that same pcb, and it does not have the gain that this does in the Youtube video. I added another battery to get it at 18v, like he mentions in the video. Are the values for the parts the same as a Crunch Box? Are there any mods?

Thanks
Rob
