That sounds like the best quality components right there. Vishay and Nichicon are top level.

Actually I don't watch the news at all ....no TV ...other than Bob's Burgers that my son got me hooked on ....
So ...if I catch any news at all it's usually a YouTube clip ...
Didn't hear that Canada is becoming a state ....

He's not making you a signature pedal bro

But he could put a toggle on it labeled top / bottom …and if a two in one pedal design was ever created, the switch controlling one side feeding another could be labeled “docking”.

Update : Been working on the physical design of the pedal since yesterday .... I really want to keep it in a 1590BB enclosure ( 120 x 94 mm )

the 1590XX ( 145 x 121 mm ) is just way to big for this .... plus I've seen a lot of your pedal boards ... not a lot of real estate on 95 % of them ..

so I think I'm going to keep the " hard / soft " dip switch inside ... but I'm going to put a toggle for each side on top for hi/lo gain

plus I will change the internal " presence " trim pots to regular pots for the top ... I think the presence knob would get used a lot more than hard or soft clipping ( which is usually mostly a set it and forget option anyway )

the graphics I think I'm going to keep real simple ..... and it's most likely just going to be called T.O.K.

as far as first run ..... I will send out a DM to anyone that said " I'm in " with payment info and hopefully a final version of what it will look like .

I will be hand numbering these on the inside .... so your place in the thread will be honored as your spot . As well as the people that hit me up and didn't post ...

Final run count will be added up Monday morning 1/13



I've been considering doing my version of a KOT for quite awhile ..... getting the " secret sauce " original diodes is a bitch

well I happened into a source .... they're pricey ... but shit ... this is the first time in years I've seen NOS originals for sale ....

so .............

I'm thinking I can offer hi gain on either side ... or maybe design simple switches in so you can hi/low either side

and most likely put the internal hard/soft clipping switching on top of the pedal also ..

They're going to be 165.00 shipped

this is the graphic of a one off I did years ago ... but .... I'll probably change it a bit to incorporate the RT gang ...

Too late to get a spot? I posted above that if it became a thing I would sell something. Idk if that counts but I am in if so lol

OK .... this is what I've come up with ... and quite happy with it ...

The presence trim pots will remain inside as well as the hard and soft clipping dip switch , but I will put the hi/lo gain switches for both sides on top ...

there just isn't a lot of room to put stuff on top ... with out stepping on toggle switches while using the footswitches .

I have decided to implement a loop .... between the two sides ... this will allow you to use the both sides individually or standard ... or you can run whatever you want in between the two sides

They're going to be 165.00 shipped

I will start sending out DM's tomorrow morning to anyone that has chimed " in " or has contacted me direct without posting

I will give it a week for people to contact me and get on the official " order " list

We are limited to doing 25 of these ..... ( because of parts ) one will be mine ..... so 24 actually ...

if everyone that chimed in actually orders ..... we might be sold out already . I'll know more in a week as far as counts .

the pic below is the final graphic .... it will have really nice knurled aluminum knobs ... and have black footswitches and toggles like on the Chiron Deluxe

Looks great. Are the LEDs for each side in the surround, as usual? If so, what are the two black dots on either side of the logo that look like LED lights? lol Also, any ideas on what the color(s) will be for each side?

nope .... no LED footswitches on enclosures bigger than the 125B's ... the thickness of the metal doesn't allow you to screw the nut on ...
