NPD: Budi G

[GrantB]

I didn’t need to hear more clips of this pedal. Now I have. Now I want even more. Damn you GAS.

Without getting into politics, it wouldn’t be so bad if the kiwi dollar hadn’t been completely stuffed by gross financial mismanagement of epic proportions by the [political part redacted].

There was that pandemic thing which pretty much fucked us over more so than the govt IMO...

Right, then there was the $530 million the Govt spent on a humungous stockpile of Covid test kits, most of which have now expired.

Yeah, Conway, that is 100% getting into politics…

So do we know if this is a clone like the Jan Ray is? I don't feel so bad about having a Jan Ray clone now knowing its a Timmy clone...

That was over 3 months ago, I think I must be saved by the forum statute of limitations…

Jan Ray is not a clone of Timmy. And the bass and treble work in the correct direction!

And Budi G is unlike any other boost I’ve tried. It is excellent.

Tim and BJFE Honey bee are the only 2 hype pedals I’ve kept all along the merry ride of pedal-go-round…ok also Zen Drive…I’ll check back in a year and see if everyone still loves their buddy Budi before I’ll be pulled back into the black hole of pedal Gas…

Jan Ray is totally a clone, the circuit has the same structure it just uses a different opamp and treble control circuit

So it's different then! And the bass and treble pot sweeps are different too. As well as being in the right direction.

Plus Jan Ray looks much cooler and is in a solid brass enclosure which makes a huge difference to the sonic properties of everything contained therein. Scientific fact! *

The right direction thing was a selling point for me too, am tempted to get the real thing when I'm in Japan next year...

I'm an aesthetics guy, I was kinda excited when I learned they made their enclosures out of brass

Try the KGR Harmony Arare - cast iron enclosure from a Japanese teapot maker. Weighs almost a kilo.

Wow, that looks amazing, even if I don't buy their claim that the weight of the enclosure leads to a "thicker" tone.

Have you heard one?

Thats wild, however I'm still waiting for someone to make an enclosure out of a neutron star.

Oh fuck, Conway, they do a white one with gold knobs...
