Looks expensive  ;)  I wonder if it is still based on the DM-2 like the normal one he made? If it is, it would be really awesome to have modulation and a bit more delay time.

I'd think it is based on the DM2....I wonder what the modulation side was...maybe the circuit of the CE1?

i can't say for sure, but with the chorus/vibe toggle, that seems like a good guess...or could it be a hi-fi deluxe memoryman clone?

I really don't get the Way Huge thing.
I tried a Swollen Pickle a couple of months ago, it was OK, like a Rams Head BM only tasteful (kinda missing the point of a fuzz / distortion pedal) I am sure the pedal would work well in Stings guitarists’' setup.
As far as I can tell these guys take existing circuits, copy them, use better quality components and re-sell for 1000x the original sale value. I wouldn't mind if they designed their own pedas..... but they just aren't that good.
The difference in price between a standard .25W resistor and precision wirewound is about 5 English pence, I don't see how they can justify the price. It's not like they cam claim R+D costs (whilst copying circuits) and there can't be anymore than £50 (max) worth of components in there.

I am having a bad time of late and this kind of shameless capitalist, money grabbing, plagiarist crap makes me feel sick.

Rant over.

Yeah .. the effects pedal world is a strange one .. on the one hand you have the WH stuff which is really only collectible/expensive because it's rare, but going for huge money (I'm pretty much certain I could never tell the difference in sound between a WH Aqua Puss and a DM-2). Then on the other hand you have, say, the Timmy .. a nifty little hand-made overdrive with great EQs, designed by the guy who builds Heritage amps .. and he sells them for US$100.

There was a recent blow-up lately on TGP about some new builder who took pre-orders for a bunch of overdrives/fuzzes in fancy boxes .. all the faithful piled in with their Paypal orders and then his delivery date got pushed back and back .. the weird thing, that no-one really seemed to pay any mind to, was that all the circuits were BYOC .. he claimed to have re-designed them but there were no sound clips, circuit photos or anything available .. so all these guys were kicking up a huge fuss about painted boxes.

Every so often something really cool does come down the pike .. but mostly it's smoke and mirrors I reckon. Alien archaeologists are going to excavate our society in the future and discern that there was a religious sect founded around the mysterious ability of God to appear in many forms, celebrated by the worship of the myriad incarnations of the tube screamer circuit.

I built a Way Huge Red Llama pedal - pretty good sounding for certain things but not a versatile distortion that you could use for many duties.  The quest for the perfect distortion continues....

I read the logo on that wrong, and thought it was called a "hairy jeff" pedal.

;D
