EXACTLY Chuck! Perfect description.

@@RobertKeeleyTV fuzz literally on zero, volume around 2 (BIG volume on tap on the Charing Cross) then the Katana actually bringing the level down a bit into the Halo. Feels magical under the hands.

@@ViTu_GdNi hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@RobertKeeleyTV well, late start, but I’m down. It usually lives on the main board.

Small speaker playback not recommended, lol.

@@slantguitars not unless you have "full-excurtion" on the menu.

Thanks! Happy Release Week!

@@bigtguitars7312 I just MIGHT have been the first one to place an order on release day 😉 And Keeley ships quick.

Appreciate it! I’m definitely going to see what else grows out of it.

Thanks! I have always loved that about the Katana Blues Drive. Very responsive.

@@pz29 it’s just a little pun. Germanium is an element that was commonly used to make transistors for electronics decades ago and can be used to make diodes as well. Silicon (not to be confused with silicone) is more stable and sort of the modern alternative. In the world of guitar pedals though, germanium is often attributed borderline magical properties for how components made with it sound.

It’s a cool FET based drive. I guess designed in collab with Howard Davis (Deluxe Memory Man). It fills a similar role to the Super Phat or BD-2 as an amp-y drive that can get into power amp fuzz territory. It has a unique voicing though, and really runs the spectrum of touch sensitive low gain to blown speaker fuzz.

Thanks! 1955 ES 125. All original except the knobs. Obviously missing the pickguard. My dad bought it off someone at work back in the 80s when I was a kid and it was always the guitar around the house growing up. Eventually my dad passed it to me and it's been fun having an old friend around. Solid build and I love the sound. They're still a relatively affordable way to get into a vintage archtop.

@@slantguitars that so cool, I’m going to try to get one

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't having a really good time with this particular set of pedals.

Thanks, man!

Thanks for making the Charing Cross, which sounds so rad! 😂

Appreciate it. Means a lot coming from someone who hangs out with the likes of Andy Timmons on the regular. 😅

Thanks, man!

There is a touch of modulation with the 30ms Double Tracker. it has both a pitch (in cents) and time (in milliseconds) adjustment. This causes a slight chorus effect, but with our the circular oscillator running the whole time. Chorus without chorus. ;-)

Yup, just the 30ms going on for modulation on this one.

Ha! Much appreciated! I was getting lost in that fuzz sustain.

Thanks for listening. I’m really trying to make recording these jams a regular thing.

Thanks! That bit is part of a cluster of parts that I kind of have worked out as things that go together but I haven’t figured out how everything fits… I’ve always particularly liked that ringing arpeggio with the close intervals in there.
