Hi Friend,
I hope you are having a great week! Summer is finally here
in the midwest (USA)!!

I wanted to let you know that we have updated the "How to
modify effects" book, adding pedal modification details as
well as more in the "how to" section. Now we have a section
on "general modifications" that goes into detail about how
you figure out what to change on nearly any pedal.

I have a 1 book left of the last version if you'd like
to purchase it at a discount ($10 off). Of course, you'll
still be able to go to the website and download the brand
new versions for the next year with your purchase. If you
are interested, email me first (brian@indyguitarist.com to
make sure I still have it). Or, you'd prefer, the newest
version of the book IS available as well.

In addition, I have 2 books left of the "how to build effects"
book. This is also going to be updated in the next couple of
days and the newest version will be available next week.

New Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic pedal...AWESOME!

Just bought one of these and played it at a gig this weekend.
I'm EXTREMELY impressed!! I brought along a Barber Direct
Drive, Jacques tube blower (that I modified), a dano daddy-o
turned guv'nor, a couple of my own builds, and a rat pedal...
just in case the twin tube couldn't hang with the big dogs.

There is a night and day difference...I was expecting a
'decent' tone, probably tonebone/tube driver type sounds,
but this one IS NOT that!! You gotta try this one! I opened
it up and discovered that it is indeed pumping some serious
voltage through it (I measured 400+ volts off the caps!).

Here's a quick soundclip:

I also threw a soundclip of a few of my favorite pedal at the
end for comparison ( modded Jacques tube blower, direct drive,
daddy-o, rat).

On the soundclip, the twin tube sounds compressed with the
gain up high. The hard thing to convey is that it really
*reacts and responds* much different than other pedals. It
is a bit fuzzy, but so are alot of tube amps! This is solved
simply by dropping the bass via an eq pedal pre-twin tube.

I'm not saying this pedal is the best I've ever had, just that
for $200 it's a keeper. ;)
