Yeah, it's obvious I play jazz (thinking Sun Ra and his Arkestra
) and saxophone.Now, two things you'll immediately notice is that there's no treadle wahs...this is deliberate, as although I think there are some breeding in a corner somewhere, I don't dig their funk. The other is that there are some double-ups: both by specific brand/type/version or by different maker but their version of the same family circuit (think soft-clipping overdrive types: Snouse BB + JHS MG, octave fuzz types: Warm Foxy Tone Box + Danelectro French Toast + Tychobrahe Octavia, etc.)...again deliberate.
Where I'm going with this is that I think overdrives can be loosely corralled by circuit similarities...that they have links back to certain, shared circuit DNA...the soft clipper family, the hard clipper family, the mid-humpers, etc. If I'm wrong on this, I know y'all will school me better...I'm only trying to sketch this out from interwebbery stuff.
What I'm trying to do, without resorting to 2-in-1 boxes (Double Barrels, D+M Drive, KoT, etc), is to find other talent boxes of the same overdrive family from other makers that offer their own spice/herb combination but still using the same generic proteins, carbs and fats, specific to the recipe, as it were.
I may be totally screwed up and leaping off of a dumb line of reasoning already, but on the chance that I'm roughly golden on this, what box(es) are in the same circuit ballpark as the Timmy? I was thinking Greer Lightspeed (without having knowingly heard/seen one)...is this correct?
And for the hell of it, and for when I get that far...is there any alternative to the Nobels ODR-1 (love that thing...ooh, so much love, just want to...oh, sorry about that)?
Can any of you gear-heads, solder jockeys, big brain dudes put a list of known dirt boxes in their relative sand-pit families? Help a fellow junkie out, bro
was going to do my thesis on it but life happened
