Very cool man.
Thanks. I am really excited to get it boxed and onto the board.Quote:

And it's done. I normally run compression after drives, partly on the idea that it preserves the pick sensitivity of the overdrive, but also because I have been using the digital compression built into the THR. Putting the Lemon Squeezy at the front, just after the buffer and tuner. I can use it as a compressor-boost thingy into the overdrives. Or at least that's the plan for now.

And on the board (which still has room for the Red Llama and Phase 45 that I will be building once parts arrive). Once they get built I will probably evict the Pure Sky (Sweet Baby has already left the building):

I like the idea of running a board only with pedals I built myself, but I won't ever build a tuner or looper, and the Xtomp is too much fun (right now it's at the end of the signal chain just before the looper - that way I can use it for distortion, phaser, chorus, delay etc).
Let me know if you need a Red Llama PCB. I've got a spare:D
Thanks Andy, but I have already started on the stripboard. Once I make the cuts it's hard to use the board for anything else. I won't get it finished for a while though since the IC chip is likely months away.Quote:

So @Andy40, the Red Llama, would you say it is an overdrive, a distortion, or a fuzz? In the clips I have heard it sounds like a medium gain soft-clipped overdrive at low gain settings, but then moves well into crunchy fuzz territory at higher settings.Quote:

Based on that, I'd say its a very powerful overdrive which is capable of what you have described. Obviously you can use it as a clean boost with fairly minimal colour to the tone. When you start playing with the gain you can start at crunch, which increases to a driven marshally type sound. I've not spent a lot of time in the really high register of the gain so i'll check later today.
