Arrived last night

Laurie, did you build this one?

Nice! Is this your first FDD? I really love mine, especially with my vintage Hammond-type organ.

My model is #281 and I'm very sure it was built by Laurie. So should be yours.

No, not my first, its #2 for me - I've been very slowly laying in backups of the ones that are important to me (3 x BSD, 2 x SQO, 2 x FDD, 2 x LGP, and watching patiently for the right VFZ)

I might try stacking the FDDs, how many people can say they've tried that

Yep. One done in my basement in Calgary.

Thank you guys for the kudos!

Needed a new chorus pedal... Found this at the local Cash Converters for USD$50.

Think you might have got a bit of a bargain there Laurie

How does it compare to the Boss chorus pedals (my only real point of reference)?

I got it cheap because it didn't look like that when I bought it... had to disassemble it and spend some time with a toothbrush and soap plus solvents to get the gunk off it.

It sounds good. Maybe like a CE-5? But better I think?

Well, it’s scrubbed up well

Is it digital or analogue?

Edit: it’s analogue.

My 16th Hotone Skyline pedal arrived today: the "Golden Touch". It is said to be a TS-808 type overdrive. Normally I'm not a Tubescreamer guy, but this one sounds really nice. It was brand new and sealed. I bought it at eBay from a British shop that has still two of them.

I don't know how a TS-808 does normally sound, but in the normal mode the Golden Touch has a huge low-end loss. With the WARM button the low-end is added plus a distinct gain boost. Very cool design this way.

The business model for Hotone is fascinating... "make pedals as small as possible".

If you ever have them all out I'd be interested to see a pic of them in a group
