I do believe the Fish Factory's a tweaked OD-1 and a tweaked Tubescreamer, stacked.

Using less and less these days, at least with my drummer friend. Use the HOG for noisey/ambient stuff as well as Live and software reverbs.

bare metal pedal is a 1776 Rub-A-Dub Deluxe with the Tone Control omitted and a rotary control with different decay lengths instead of a regular pot.

Tell us about that Echo Park rehouse.

Its a rehoused Echo Park

Not too much going on. Had to desolder the output jacks because the enclosure is a little wider than the PCB. So the Input jacks are still soldered to the PCB.

Removed the EP module from it's plastic casing. The pots actually have threads on them and I have extra nuts from other projects.

Desoldered the stock input jack, added a barrel type, as seen on most DIY/Boutique pedals.

I just rehoused it cause I'm over clicking stompswitches and the while the Echo Park's Bypass/Tap implementation is good compared to other pedals out there - where you have to hold the footswitch to Enter/Exit Tap Tempo Mode - I was tired of the stock switches so I wanted independent switches for each function.

The new enclosure is lighter than the stock, but a little bigger.

DAMN!

I'm curious about the rehousing process here - could it be done with Line 6's ToneCore pedals? If so, could things like master volume and tone controls be added? I have an old Red Panda Bitmap ToneCore module with stereo dock, and while I want to get the new self-contained Bitmap, there's things that the old one did that were pretty unique. I've always wished that it had a few extra features to really push it over the hump into Total Usability Land...

EDIT: to keep from potentially overwhelming this thread, I'm'a cross post over to DIY...

I'm getting more and more into these setups that might be sneered upon because of the TGP-factor. But to me they just scream ¡useabilty! and ¡play your fucking guitar instead of turning knobs all the time! And that makes me happy somehow.

Might be I'm just getting old and becoming a douche.

Oh, yes. I like that, too.

You could definitely get me to put a Prunes & Custard and a Memory Lane on my board. I may scoff at the TPG boards but I just built a Warmpler Euphoria clone and its a very nice overdrive. Does clean boost, light overdrive all the way to very dirty hard clipping. It's a Dumble amp in a pedal You can actually hear the crystal lattice tones.
Cocksniffer confession.

I like to think my board is old skool HCFX in spirit.

TGP = Too snooty

HCFX = This porridge is just right

ILFuZZ = Too Radcore

Yeah. And also too fuzz-heavy...

People keep excusing themselves with "this is too tgp" but I haven't seen anyone cop shit for "being tgp". I think that's because everyone here uses their gear and people are good at imagining what you could do with a given setup.

People on here are generally too civil for public scolding, but You do realize there is a Klon on that board and there is quite a lot of mockery going on about that pedal over here.


@Rat King: I had no idea! I only ever frequented this gear board, my first love and I know about most others only from hearsay. I did post a couple of times on Muffwiggler and the DAM forum, but never really got involved. I probably just wanted to unlock the bst section.

My only beef with TGP is thier narrow mindedness and the moral high horses a lot of them seem to ride. I wouldn't last 2 days on there without being banned. My moral high horse is a toothless three legged donkey on its way to the mortadella factory.
