excerpt from the intro:

"Make a cursory search on Google or log on to the popular forum PhilMusic.com and you’ll find dozens offering just such assistance. For the budget guitarist, DIY is surely the way to go. And for the even more price-conscious, many offer customization services to existing pedals by big manufacturers. These tinkering jobs let a guitar player choose a more genre-specific tone with, say, an off-the-shelf BOSS DS-1 distortion pedal with a few snips and a kzzzt. Then, voila! A British-type gain is achieved.


From the lot of modelers, customizers, and DIY-ers, we chose our three subjects as much for their originality and inventiveness as for their willingness to talk and confess to the mania of making stompboxes.


One thing’s for sure, the quest for tone to these guys is all too real. In all instances it’s led them far beyond making clones for existing pedals, to producing their original units forged in dreams of solder and wiring.


Here are three stories of obsession and lust that’s cost our subjects time, money and, in some cases, the decay of personal relationships. All in furtherance of mastering the unique blend of engineering, music, and art that is creating a guitar pedal.


What does it take to make an original stomp unit? Let’s find out. Turn the knob and enjoy."

I do NOT agree with a lot of points in the article.  The only point I agree on in the article is that you need a guitar and amp for you to plug the stompbox in between.  Surprisingly, the article forgets to mention that as it proceeds in the narrative.  However, I think for what they are doing and their pricing, they BRING IT.

But to me, they are NOT yet world class because of the following reasons:

1) Musical Exposure -- they don't design or make pedals for the top artists in the world.  Unfortunately, its a realization of the Philippine Condition.  I recently bought a Cornell First Fuzz.  By the way, I hate fuzzes.  So does my luthier friend.  But I told my luthier, you have not heard a Fuzz that sounds this good.  True enough he is now a convert -- turning his tiny trebly strat into something as thick as a les paul.  We were both floored but we both realized that we were never exposed to the good sounding fuzzes thru our combined years and it takes a reproduction by Mr. Cornell to show us/let us hear the beauty of the early fuzzes.  By the way, it doesn't sound as fizzy as you think.  In fact, if anything it makes the sound thicker and more dynamic -- yup that doesn't sound like your typical fuzz.  And yet my reason for keeping it is because, it does the thick sound and dynamic in a way that no other fuzz or overdrive or distortion can.

2) Money in the Bank -- they don't own a lot of the good sounding amps and good sounding guitars that should be tested with pedals.  This is the biggest minus. How sure are you that the boss they are modifying to make sound good on the behringer will NOT actually ruin your sound going thru a Fender amp?  You are not.  Wala kasi silang mga amp na iyon.  Tingnan niyo ang mga local made pedals ay mas maraming version kaysa american and european counterparts?  Natatawa lang ako. 

The problem with the article is that is glorifies pedals too much and removes it SO much from the context of the guitar and amp.

I can say that I own more pedals than these three guys combined and all these pedals are 90% boutique and scattered around the house.  If there should be someone designing pedals, it should be me but... I want to emphasize that the guitar with character and good sounding tube amp is worth much more than a pedal -- but more expensive too.  A lot of the local designers have tube screamer clones.  I have a TS9 (first re-issue MIJ) modded with riken ohms and a specially selected Texas Instrument Made in Malaysia chip that Mr. Lito Bote helped me pick out.  And I am willing to bet that none of the local TS clones can beat it in terms of sound.  In fact, it beat a real old vintage  TS808 in terms of sound.  But you know what, where that pedal really shines in is when its set as a boost in front of my 1972 Marshall Super Lead Head.  Talk about people criticizing the Tube screamer mid hump, it just seems to be friendly with the amp. 

Don't get me wrong...  I also enjoy pedals but I want to say, if the Filipino is to first improve his tone -- pedals (stompboxes) are not the first things he should spend on.

wait. correct me if im wrong but, if you have your individual set up then it will be "my set up vs your set up" na?

because all other variables should be constant except the tube screamers if you wanna prove that your tube screamer is better than the clones..

anyway nothings prolly gonna be worng since you are comparing Tube screamers most prolly they have the same circuits..


it should be "your tube screamer vs tube screamer clones"?

ppwede ba kung:

yung individual set up mo + your tube screamer, then yung tube screamer clones will your use your set up too? para constant ang other variables..

paki correct nalang kung mali analogy ko..

pedals (stompboxes) are not the first things he should spend on.

pero dito i agree


the thing is di lahat ng tao mayaman katulad mo na can afford to buy highend stuff pero kung umpisa ka plang at wala kang budget i guess ok lang bumili ng pedals muna na masaya ka sa tunog na ma proproduce using a crappy amp... as you go along the way naman things improve... sample ako before when i was starting amp ko rage amps it sounds crap pero what can i do wala akong pera pero now Vox AC30 na

Well, part2 touched on it briefly, look for jmorerro's quote towards the end about the bigger importance of guitar and amp.  Even if it the article did not focus on that, ok lang.  It's all about the local DIY stomps, so they zero in on the topic.

But to me, they are NOT yet world class because of the following reasons:

I think they would do well to stick to their niche.  Not to say they shouldn't accept international orders, but to say they have to design and build for international artists implies that you should only please that market.  They are first and foremost Filipinos, so naturally they cater to a lot to local orders.  I say draw inspiration from the foreign builds, then use your ears and creativity to build something that first, sounds good to you, and second, works well in full band situation.  All in local context.  If others use their wallet to agree with what you have built, then all well and good, you build a following, you have a good product.

Nevermind the foreign acts or foreign artists, most of whom would buy local to them anyway and thumb their nose down on most Asian non-japanese builds.  But it's a bonus if some would order from you.


2) Money in the Bank -- they don't own a lot of the good sounding amps and good sounding guitars that should be tested with pedals.  This is the biggest minus. How sure are you that the boss they are modifying to make sound good on the behringer will NOT actually ruin your sound going thru a Fender amp?  You are not.  Wala kasi silang mga amp na iyon.  Tingnan niyo ang mga local made pedals ay mas maraming version kaysa american and european counterparts?  Natatawa lang ako. 

Maybe it's funny to you, but you have just made a blanket statement that they don't have good amps.  In fact, it's rudimentary that a good build must sound good in a number of amps, and a lot of them audition on amps a lot of people use.  Not just one.  Who would test on only a single behringer w/ an 8" speaker amp?  You think he would be successful? (rhetorical)

Also, versions are only an indicator, that either the build is a work in progress (to get something right or try new parts/methods), or it is a true custom build that customers can ask for modifications they see fit for their needs.  What's so funny about that?  There is no standard for 'good sounding' (arguable for you, but don't take it there), and to truly move forward you gotta work in different platforms.


The problem with the article is that is glorifies pedals too much and removes it SO much from the context of the guitar and amp.

Eh.  So maybe next time they could put out an article about the guitar and amp.  I don't think it glorifies the pedals too much, just a good write-up on the chosen subject.  Which happens to be local pedal builders.

I can say that I own more pedals than these three guys combined and all these pedals are 90% boutique and scattered around the house.  If there should be someone designing pedals, it should be me but... I want to emphasize that the guitar with character and good sounding tube amp is worth much more than a pedal -- but more expensive too.  A lot of the local designers have tube screamer clones.  I have a TS9 (first re-issue MIJ) modded with riken ohms and a specially selected Texas Instrument Made in Malaysia chip that Mr. Lito Bote helped me pick out.  And I am willing to bet that none of the local TS clones can beat it in terms of sound.  In fact, it beat a real old vintage  TS808 in terms of sound.  But you know what, where that pedal really shines in is when its set as a boost in front of my 1972 Marshall Super Lead Head.  Talk about people criticizing the Tube screamer mid hump, it just seems to be friendly with the amp.

Good for you.  But I hate to break it to you, the whole "If you work at the parts the whole will be a success" does not necessarily apply.  It only works, and there's only success if the results speak to you in a positive way.  "Premium parts" are meant to attract buyers like you, who demand the best, also at a premium.  Not to say that they don't build with premium parts to begin with, because some will...  just to have that base covered right at the beginning.  Fortunately, having local builders you can actually go to, speak with, and audition builds with, means that tolerances can be a little looser and tweakable.  BTW, did you audition your tubescreamer dual opamp chip with other chips?  It's socketed, isn't it?

Don't get me wrong...  I also enjoy pedals but I want to say, if the Filipino is to first improve his tone -- pedals (stompboxes) are not the first things he should spend on.

I agree here.  But pedals are some of the cheapest fun you can get if you're bored with your gear.

una apoymodelo69 - pano mo nalaman na wala sila matino gitara? close kayo?
pangalawa apoymodelo69 - tama, kasama ang gitara, ampli, cable, pikup at kung ano ano pa sa pagbuo ng tunog, pero naisip mo na ba kung sino talaga nagpapatunog?
pangatlo apoymodelo69 - baket ba kylangan mo lagi isingit ung mga butik mo na gamet? tiga butika kaba?

sana nakita mo na kung pano humawak ng gitara iyang si jm at kung ganu kasarap sa tenga magpatunog yan. di mo titignan ung ginagamit nya kasi sa sarap ng tunog pipikit kana lang (or hihiyaw)

of the 3 builders, i have only had the chance to try out Jim's pedals but also owned some by another builder.  i can say that Jim's pedals are very well built and the guy just puts too much dedication into building his pedals that you will be assured that it's top shelf.

Jim used a Fender Strat and a Fender Concert amp to test the pedals he made for me.  as far as i'm concerned, i can call that industry standard, at par with any other amp out there.

im interested in our local pedal builders because I never knew that we have them, I want to get some pedals from them in the future if I learn enough about custom pedals, sa ngayon kase puro mga pedals na available lang sa guitar shops ang medyo alam ko..

Lets just stick to the topic, and that is promoting our local builders, syempre theres always room for improvement, but lets comment in positive constructive ways.

More power to our local luthiers and pedalbuilders

Its like buying a new pickup... you install it on your guitar right?  I mean you don't assess it after buying and installing it on another person's guitar that you are unfamiliar with. 

Tingin mo lahat na tube screamer ay pareho ang tunog?  Tingin mo lahat tamang calibration if all the controls are twelve o clock inclusive of clones?  Of course not.  You have to use your own ear as a guide on YOUR OWN GEAR THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH.  When I was in New York, the boutique shops would always ask me my gear because they would try to find the closest guitar, the closest amp to my setup just to test a pedal and believe me they have so much equipment to choose from including vintage amps and guitars.

You are dead wrong to think na ang circuit defines a TS808.  I even feel its more of the type of chip and Texas Instruments Made in Malaysia sounds better than the JRC Japan.  No matter how bad I wanted the Japan chip to sound better.

I agree here.  But pedals are some of the cheapest fun you can get if you're bored with your gear.


Siore, its all about standards.  The foreign guys have better sound standards than us, generally.  I did mention an example with the Cornell First Fuzz which I initially thought was just some guy pulling my leg just because he designed the first Dallas Arbiter Fuzzes.  But lo and behold, his product delivers.  Remember, I hate fuzzes. 

With regards to amps, again iba ang standards ng amps abroad THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE USE.  Sino ba dito may 1968 na plexi or Fender na Tweed, ilan lang kami may Diezel or even Marshall na kompleto ang tubo mula preamp hangang power amp?  Dito lang naman walang standard sa tunog kasi kulang ng perang pambili.  Punta kang new york.  Wala kang makikitang behringer.  Mga amp na vintage, mga dumble, mga trainwreck, makakahanap ka para maka test ng gitara.  Kung walang standard sa tunog, then any high end studio could have just used behringer amps to record.

Bakit si Klon Centaur walang modification?  And yet its still selling like hot cakes maski na hindi ko nagustuhan.  Eh, kasi may specific application na magandang tunog for a majority na hindi na pa kailangan i-customize per individual. 

As I said, they are a commercial success and offer superior value for money -- something I don't dispute but are NOT world class in quality and sound.

of the 3 builders, i have only had the chance to try out Jim's pedals but also owned some by another builder.  i can say that Jim's pedals are very well built and the guy just puts too much dedication into building his pedals that you will be assured that it's top shelf.

Jim used a Fender Strat and a Fender Concert amp to test the pedals he made for me.  as far as i'm concerned, i can call that industry standard, at par with any other amp out there.

Someone was able to test one of the 3 builder's TS clone.  Naging ngo ngo pag back down the guitar volume in contrast to which the TS9 continued to maintain highs despite the backed off guitar volume.  Obviously, thats not industry standard.

Its like buying a new pickup... you install it on your guitar right?  I mean you don't assess it after buying and installing it on another person's guitar that you are unfamiliar with.  

Tingin mo lahat na tube screamer ay pareho ang tunog?  Tingin mo lahat tamang calibration if all the controls are twelve o clock inclusive of clones?  Of course not.  You have to use your own ear as a guide on YOUR OWN GEAR THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH.  When I was in New York, the boutique shops would always ask me my gear because they would try to find the closest guitar, the closest amp to my setup just to test a pedal and believe me they have so much equipment to choose from including vintage amps and guitars.

You are dead wrong to think na ang circuit defines a TS808.  I even feel its more of the type of chip and Texas Instruments Made in Malaysia sounds better than the JRC Japan.  No matter how bad I wanted the Japan chip to sound better.

You are dead wrong. Period.

Akin na yung pedal mo testingin ko sa gitara at amp ko. Ganun lang ka-simple yun. May reference na naman sa New York.

Pero get this Mr Firemodel, no amount of money can buy YOU (just you) good tone. Di ka marunong tumugtog. Based on your swirling video, and comparing to other people's demos. Di mo alam kung ala ka na sa tono, simpleng pentatonic run lang ang sagwa na e. Kung yun lang e di mo na nakuha, paano kami maniniwala sa ibang ka-lechehan na pinagsasabi mo?

Kung marunong ka talaga tumugtog, sa kayabangan mo, dapat ang dami ng video na nagkalat na tumutugtog ka at pinupuri mo yung sarili mo. Pero sa haba ng panahon "swirling" lang napala namin sayo.

Back to topic:
I am willing to bet that si juwanfidel09 or sige any other player in this thread lang can play thru markv's shredhead and tapos naka blindfold sa kanila yung jmorrero pedals, tapos naka-counterweight sa left hand yung buong line ng liptone pedals tapos rj rage amps (meron pa ba nun?) na kinalikot ni mang raul lang ang gamit e masmaganda pa tone kesa kay firemodel thru his ugly baker and crappy diezel. Because our local builders are practicing musicians as well. These pedals are not out to produce just tone, but they're intended to ultimately help produce music.

una apoymodelo69 - pano mo nalaman na wala sila matino gitara? close kayo?

(Ano ba ang tingin mong matino na gitara?)
pangalawa apoymodelo69 - tama, kasama ang gitara, ampli, cable, pikup at kung ano ano pa sa pagbuo ng tunog, pero naisip mo na ba kung sino talaga nagpapatunog?

(Ito ang kakatawa. Iyan ang sinasabi ng marami kaso ang mga idol niyong nagigitara abroad ay may specific na gitara, paboritong ampli, length specific cable, custom wound pickup na hind gawa sa pinas at walang bilib sa sarilling daliri nila)
pangatlo apoymodelo69 - baket ba kylangan mo lagi isingit ung mga butik mo na gamet? tiga butika kaba?

(Bakit?  Bumili ka na ba pedal from any of the three?  Bumili ka muna tapos pagusapan natin ang butika.)

sana nakita mo na kung pano humawak ng gitara iyang si jm at kung ganu kasarap sa tenga magpatunog yan. di mo titignan ung ginagamit nya kasi sa sarap ng tunog pipikit kana lang (or hihiyaw)

Don't get me wrong...  I also enjoy pedals but I want to say, if the Filipino is to first improve his tone -- pedals (stompboxes) are not the first things he should spend on.

I definitely agree. It's a very common mistake (fell for it when I was starting out too.. ).

hmmmmm... para sa akin lang, kung parehas ang buying power ng mga pedal builders at si firemodel55. Malamang magiinvest ang mga builders sa mga high end na mga gamit.

Hindi lang siguro pedal builders. I'm sure if all of us have the same buying power as sir firemodel55, then lahat tayo may high end na gamit. But the sad part is, we don't so we stick to what we can afford.

2 of the 3 builders palang ang natry ko ang pedal, one from each. I'd love to try sir jim's pedals, lalo na yung Dzound but money issues keeps me from getting one..

there are just so much factors to consider when you say ngo-ngo, and the biggest factor is still the player.  what amp and guitar did he use?  well even if you answer it we wouldn't know for sure since there is no video/audio support.  it's possible na kaya naging ngo-ngo yung sound is because of the guitar's pots rolling off too much treble.

you also have to factor in the builder's learning curve.  no one gets it right the first time, after all.

This thread's gotten out of hand. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions about tone. Sa mga guitar forums kasi, 'pag may umayaw sa gear na nakapost, daming reaction/away. Everyone has to accept na kanya-kanya naman ang tone. I actually believe that that makes it so much more interesting. It really shows how music can be a form of personal expression. Marami kasing preferences eh. I also think that dissing other people because of their playing skills is equally as bad as dissing other people because of their tone. It's just as elitist and immature. Hindi naman pagalingan ang music eh. :-)

To each his tone....

Back on topic:

I agree that it's pretty cool to have our own builders. It's great for those people that don't like the mainstream offerings of the usual Boss/MXR line-ups, but aren't interested in the hassle and/or expense of going for foreign custom pedals. Plus, a lot of the builders also do repairs for some pedals, which is really cool (kung wala sila, sobrang hassle kung magpapaayos pa ng pedal abroad. baka mas mahal pa kaysa sa newer pedal).

agree ako dito, besides parang one-sided yata kung yung gusto ni firemodel55 yung masusunod. mas ok siguro kung both sides magaagree kung saang studio gaganapin yung jam or whatever. ayun din pala, if my memory serves me right, nagsulat dati si FM55 ng isang thread na kailangan tayong i-educate tungkol sa tone. Well, eto na yung chance nyo :)

back-to-topic:

nakasubok pala ako dati ng D'Zound ni Jim Morrero dati. maganda sya for my taste, very responsive and di tunaw yung notes :)

Maghahanap muna ako ng magandang studio...   I will charge GOBOT.

Go! Ala Crossroads dapat. A few thousand spent on shutting you up is worth more than the $8000 you're wasting for your guitar. At least pagnag-duelo tayo may mapupulot ka pa, kahit konti magkaroon ng progress yung playing mo. E after mo makuha yung $8000 guitar mo, your playing stays as bad as it is.

Tara, gusto ko may audience ha. Sagot ko na yung event. Sagot ko na rin banda. Walang entrance fee basta sumipot ka lang. Wag na natin paabutin pa sa Gil Yaron mo. Dun na lang sa bingengot mong Baker at tunog lata mong Diezel tapos ulit na lang kung gusto mo pa pagdating ng '59 wannabe mo. Thru your fingers, Marshall MG100 at RJ Guitar lang katapat ng gear mo. (Pero ala ako nun e)

Criteria: Better sounding music thru a guitarists tone.

Procedure: 10 mins. with the backing band I IV V Blues Progression over several keys para lumabas talaga yung timplahan.

Tapos eto yung condition: Matalo magdodonate ng pang pro-webhosting ng PhilMusic para ala ng "Connection Problems". Tapos one year sa sig nya "Pangit ang tone ko. Pangit ako." Para may mapala naman lahat.

Ano game ka? Or are you gonna be consistent with your personality, all talk, no balls?

Seque to thread topic:
If this comedy show happens to push through, can I get a special price on the Rectorizer? That thing can cream whatever this poser can ever dream to come up with his playing on his gear.

I'll rent a bar, turn it into a production. I'll invite other bands. Kelangan may audience. Total, mayabang ka in front of the community, then it is in front of the community you defend or prove yourself. Besides, I don't wanna be alone in a room with you with cameras and all. I'm not into that kind of thing, straight ako pare.

And yes bakit 2012 pa? ASAP dapat. Ngayon summer 2011.

Pero I know pikon lang sya dahil di nya kayang i-substantiate yung mga pinagsasabi nya kaya yan naghahamon. Hamon de bola.

Firemodel55: Sa kamay mo bingengot yung Baker mo at lata ang Diezel mo. Yung Gil Yaron mo, sa mga kamay mo, magiging Gil Raon yan! Kahit anong hiyaw hiyaw mo dyan, lahat ng pedals sa thread na 'to masmaganda pa rin ang tone kesa sa tone mo! That's a fact. Disagree? Prove me wrong.

Why the long wait? Can't you guys do it after Holy Week?

Well, as I said, Alex wants only HIS and HIS conditions alone met.

Doesn't that in itself prove something?

But wait, if you really want to prove something in this contest - the player is part of the tone equation - then use Alex's equipment exclusively! Pareho kayo. Kung sino ang mas maayos magpatunog yun ang panalo. Remember - SAME EQUIPMENT - two different people.

But still....bakit kailangan 2012 pa? Wala ba siyang tiwala sa present gear niya at kailangan makuha pa yung Yarron?

Is it possible for the builders to retail their products to the music stores around the Philippines? or hindi siya feasible as of the moment?

pwede siguro, kaso mas hindi pabor ito sakanila.. dahil pag dinistribute na ito ng music stores... may resibo na.. siyempre ang stores maglalagay ng purchases nila para ideduct sa revenue.. and the rest.. di ko na babanggitin dahil baka mahuli ng BIR :-D

Kudos ako sa Shredhead ni sir MarkV.. na-try ko dati nung nagpa-britmod ako.. Panalo yung COS ng Rave Electronics.. sobrang sarap ng La Mera ni sir Lipton..

mahirap nga talaga sir kung iisipin, pero look at electrosushi's Indie shop. Parang ganun na setup. They can try the pedals if they want to. Way na rin siguro para iintroduce yung mga products ng pinoy na hindi pamilyar sa philmusic. tangkilikin natin ang sariling atin.

Okay na sana yung thread na off topic lang..

On Topic: I have a Subzero optical tremolo pedal for a year now. Ayus yung pagkabuild, malinis. At yung tunog, swabe. Tapos last month, latest acquired pedal ko is the Fat Booater. These 2 pedals may stay most likely in my board. Sana makabili din ako ng ibang pedal galing sa local builders natin.

I agree here. In my opinion, if you look at FM's points, there are valid ideas there which I'm sure he could defend and would definitely lead to good, sensible discussions. It's sad that whenever he makes a comment nowadays, everyone seems to look past the valid points, takes the lot of it personally, and just plain attack him, even without personal provocation. If he wants a bet on which stompbox sounds better, then let him, there's no need to go personal and insult him and his gear (and the gearmakers themselves as well...).



I agree that some of FM's points are valid. Pero aaminin ko "KUPI" kasi ang dating niya palagi sa board. So instead of helping other musicians, he puts them down. Kaya di mo masisisi kung maraming galit sa kanya. He himself insults others.

I do NOT agree with a lot of points in the article.  The only point I agree on in the article is that you need a guitar and amp for you to plug the stompbox in between.  Surprisingly, the article forgets to mention that as it proceeds in the narrative.  However, I think for what they are doing and their pricing, they BRING IT.

But to me, they are NOT yet world class because of the following reasons:

1) Musical Exposure -- they don't design or make pedals for the top artists in the world.  Unfortunately, its a realization of the Philippine Condition.  I recently bought a Cornell First Fuzz.  By the way, I hate fuzzes.  So does my luthier friend.  But I told my luthier, you have not heard a Fuzz that sounds this good.  True enough he is now a convert -- turning his tiny trebly strat into something as thick as a les paul.  We were both floored but we both realized that we were never exposed to the good sounding fuzzes thru our combined years and it takes a reproduction by Mr. Cornell to show us/let us hear the beauty of the early fuzzes.  By the way, it doesn't sound as fizzy as you think.  In fact, if anything it makes the sound thicker and more dynamic -- yup that doesn't sound like your typical fuzz.  And yet my reason for keeping it is because, it does the thick sound and dynamic in a way that no other fuzz or overdrive or distortion can.

2) Money in the Bank -- they don't own a lot of the good sounding amps and good sounding guitars that should be tested with pedals.  This is the biggest minus. How sure are you that the boss they are modifying to make sound good on the behringer will NOT actually ruin your sound going thru a Fender amp?  You are not.  Wala kasi silang mga amp na iyon.  Tingnan niyo ang mga local made pedals ay mas maraming version kaysa american and european counterparts?  Natatawa lang ako. 

The problem with the article is that is glorifies pedals too much and removes it SO much from the context of the guitar and amp.

I can say that I own more pedals than these three guys combined and all these pedals are 90% boutique and scattered around the house.  If there should be someone designing pedals, it should be me but... I want to emphasize that the guitar with character and good sounding tube amp is worth much more than a pedal -- but more expensive too.  A lot of the local designers have tube screamer clones.  I have a TS9 (first re-issue MIJ) modded with riken ohms and a specially selected Texas Instrument Made in Malaysia chip that Mr. Lito Bote helped me pick out.  And I am willing to bet that none of the local TS clones can beat it in terms of sound.  In fact, it beat a real old vintage  TS808 in terms of sound.  But you know what, where that pedal really shines in is when its set as a boost in front of my 1972 Marshall Super Lead Head.  Talk about people criticizing the Tube screamer mid hump, it just seems to be friendly with the amp. 

Don't get me wrong...  I also enjoy pedals but I want to say, if the Filipino is to first improve his tone -- pedals (stompboxes) are not the first things he should spend on.

Yup and I am also sharing my knowledge.  Abyss, you have to understand because of the low standards in this country -- the Philippines -- anybody who makes a DIY sound is NOW considered HOMETURF GUYS WITH KNOWLEDGE.  If you compare their qualifications to the really good guys abroad who make effects, malayo sila.

P.S. Maraming nanloloko dito sa Pinas, pinoprotektehan ko lang ang mga tao dito na wala pang exposure sa mga iba't ibang mas magandang FX

well, if you put it that way, it makes it less stingy, i guess, but still, it could have been done in a less -how shall I say-condescending approach, maybe?

i like that you are sharing info so thats not bad but maybe doing a comparison of notes is in order where folks share schematics and discuss the reason of why they are combining certain components together to get a specific tone. I was originally trained as an EE so that was where we'd usual'y start dissecting circuitry, i suspect people still do that even for simpler schematics. I realize that not everyone is an EE guy but some of the pedal builders here Stateside aren't either and many are hobbyists coming from a variety of backgrounds.

That said, I don't have anything against exploring a hobby and doing stuff to spread the love but when you're getting marketed as a guy who knows something when you can't even explain what you are doing -it gets kinda sketchy to defend that.

FM, given your knowledge and experience on what's out there, have you found any local builder that can deliver or you just haven't tried any of the builders' works? Maybe you can recommend any if you've tried any local build.

What for?  The imported board setup look cooler and sound more awesome.

Just for kicks. It'll be fun. :)

I have to admit this is quite exciting. On another thread I admitted resigning to my bedroom and being mediocre and now I'm being challenged by this forum's biggest and loudest poser.

Sana matuloy. Sagot ko na talaga yung event, matuloy lang.

Pero I know pikon lang sya dahil di nya kayang i-substantiate yung mga pinagsasabi nya kaya yan naghahamon. Hamon de bola.

Firemodel55: Sa kamay mo bingengot yung Baker mo at lata ang Diezel mo. Yung Gil Yaron mo, sa mga kamay mo, magiging Gil Raon yan! Kahit anong hiyaw hiyaw mo dyan, lahat ng pedals sa thread na 'to masmaganda pa rin ang tone kesa sa tone mo! That's a fact. Disagree? Prove me wrong.
:wink:

From what I have heard, peace has been made from both sides. All is well, no worries. :)

Puro dada, review, criticism, buhat bangko. Basta may chance na maisingit nya na maganda yung gear nya at pangit yung inyo gagawin nya talaga eh. Nakakasawa makabasa ng mga post ni firemodel55 dito sa PhilMusic. Maglabas ka naman ng ebidensiya mo na maganda nga yung tunog ng pedals, guitar whatever mo oi! Hindi naman kailangan na tumugtog ka ng pyesa talaga dahil understood naman na hindi mo kaya diba..so kahit arpeggiated chords lang. And please...wag mo naman isagot na "video clips don't give my pedals justice BS", kasi kung talaga maganda yan - MAGANDA pa rin tunog nyan kahit sa clips.

Masyado kang self-proclaimed tone-king tinalo mo pa si Andy Timmons. Yan mga custom pedal builders natin, malaki ang contribution sa music scene. Sabihin man natin hindi uber ganda ang gawa nila, at least they provide decent and affordable pedals for the rest of us not jerks este rich kids. How bout you sir? Ano na ba naitulong mo? Your word per word review of gear doesn't count since in reality words don't explain tone. I'm sick of reading your hiyaw, magic and other flowery descriptive BS. If you really are that much of tone-king, show it to us! :razz:

To Firemodel55: Napakagaling mo namang laitin ang mga local builders sa Pinas. OO bago pa lang sila compared sa mga "botique" builders abroad o mga established na kompanya. Napakarami mo ngang botique na galing abroad pero kung papanu mo tignan ang mga local builder dito ay para kang isang mangmang na taga probinsiya na walang ok na brand o gamit para sa kanya kundi ang mga "Imported". you suck man! go outside and don't waste your time with these botiques of yours. Even if you have all the good stuff that everyone's been gassing about, still, and always, someone is better than you and these botique guys you're adoring and will wipe their @sses just for their "paking botique" pedals and veynteyj amps! Get a Life and Grow up!
