Great! Can we have a picture of the modded SD-1?

Chromandre's clues are really good. It could be guessed by this point.

Fuzzbuzzfuzz, is it a (Keeley?) modded BOSS DS-1?
Yes, that is correct. Or at the very least it has the Keeley mod (I don’t think it was done by the man). Well done!
I am the man. But not that man :lol:
:lol:

Korg power tube reactor?
correct!

I could not be more pleased with it, it is a definite keeper. as you can see I have been experimenting with "sag" effect on the fender shields blender but it is a completely different feel like a hard tremolo(at least i dont know of any amp that behaves like that!! ) the korg power tube reactor is more akin to having a tube amp really struggling to keep up, it is a lovely thing to have :twisted: what a unique pedal!

I am very happy that I chose the right KORG Nu:Tekt pedal for you - and that it made it through the customs! :D The TR-S is an incredible sounding unit, especially once you've found the sweet spot with the three easy accessible trimpots.

Our tour is over, and I think it was a great one again, although there were so few participants. It was fun and very satisfying.

While I'm looking at them ... those four pedals together on a pedalboard sound like a solid rig to me!

Thanks! After all I have basically settled on a more or less jimi hendrix setup but my musics not stuck in 1970. I find theres performance aspect to expression pedals obviously but also dynamics oriented effects: octavia also doubles your peaks, sag delays / reverses peaks, and fuzz face’s roll off “clean” tone sort of an enhancer effect, technically flattens peaks but it seems to put those peaks front and center really shows off the high range of a good single coil pickup

How do you find the Shields Blender? I'm a big fan of MBV but tend to get option blindness with too many controls on pedals. That many on a fuzz seems overkill :lol:
