Our dear member BearBoy helped me purchasing this rare Seppuku Fuzz Overloader at a British ebay auction.

No problem, Pepe. Was more than happy to help.

Looking forward to the demo!

Another one of Rhys' pedal builds has arrived at my place. The Rhys I Loome is very similar to my Seppuku Dynamic Echo Modulator.

It is a delay based on the PT2399 chip, but with much longer delay times than 300 ms only. It offers more than 4 seconds or so, but with lo-fi sound and lots of crazy artifacts. Short delay times result in very clean echoes. The switch enables distortion on the delay effect. "Slide" is a volume-dependent modulation that can go up or down (no function in middle position) which can either sound like a dynamic chorus effect or like a broken cassette tape. If turned to the maximum the delay effect sounds like a random noise generator.

The big knob is for the feedback. I'm not completely sure what the Gate knob is good for. So far I think it is a threshold level for when the delay effect is going to be active (no effect at low playing volume).

The pedal does also have a CV input, but I haven't had the time to try this out yet. Overall it is a very nice pedal that offers standard sounds as well as the crazy Seppuku-style sounds.

Sold one of these years ago, always regretted it

picked up another mint one today

I've never had a compressor pedal. What benefits are there?
Btw, does this mean you've moved back to Auz?

I've never really used a compressor either, but thought I should experiment.

Haven't moved yet. Was there visiting family for the last few weeks

A couple of old Australian pieces I picked up on a whim

Klinger Custom Pedals - means he made only one or two of each of these, being custom builds, 10 or more years ago

The AstoClone is a Sam Ash / Astrotone copy, complete with Fairchild Glob Top Transistors. I have a Klinger Astron (a production pedal) which I expect this will be very close to
