Sure is!

Just got this email from Bob, the guy is a legend :clap:


"I've just designed a 3 way splitter and I'd appreciate your comments if I send it up.

The box is deeper than the 2 way, to get the extra stuff in. I'd really like your opinion on you using the 3 switches in the deeper box.

It's only a prototype so I've used an old box. If you like it, you can keep it at no charge. Cheers, Bob."

I wouldn't mind looking at the guts, but then I would say that.

I know a few ways I'd skin this cat, it'd be interesting to see how he did it.

I recently built a buffered ABY myself, using a stereo buff board I designed. Works a treat and uses the "Klon buffer", which if you read that anywhere is the most basic opamp buffer you can make, it is literally the text book example they use to introduce what a buffer circuit is.

These look like nice executions of good utility.

Only thing I'd be worried about is hitting those chicken head knobs with my feet, smaller knobs would give you a bit more footroom (oooerrrr)

With your foot moving towards it, at least the knobs come before the chickens. Your feet must be big Jeremy.

Damn that sounded rude as well.

I keep telling people it's not a foot, it's only 11 inches!

Really good, a lot of different reverb options in that pedal. Very happy with it 8)

If I could find one criticism it would be that there's a bit of hiss/white noise as you turn up the reverb volume on the pedal. However, that's only really audible when you're not playing anything and some people would think that adds to the overall feel of it. I just bought a CKK 'Soul Echo' which is based on the old Echoplex and tape delays ~ now that thing is extremely quiet but to me also has more of a sterility to it... if that makes any sense whatsoever ?!

He has the 3-way amp splitter on TM now, and I gave him another font suggestion so the Comic Sans is no longer :D

Wondering what mixing my two amps together might sound like.

Thanks.
