Recently I received an email asking me if I could get Robben Ford's Dumble tone on Talk to your Daughter and the Blue Line records......sustain with no fizzy top end and in the afternotes ...but not compression...
The email went on to say, "Some say the (*popular pedal name) gets it but too much lead time and too expensive...Robben sets his amp clean and kicks in the over drive. "
That tone is amazing, isn't it!
I'm working on a circuit that approaches this dumble tone like none other - and at a realistic waiting time! While many of the builders nowadays are counting in years the period of time it will take for you to get your pedal, I can do it within about 3 weeks.
That's just ONE of the advantages of a custom build! For example, recently I built a custom pedal that was basically a popular pedal (one with about a 2 year waiting list) with a bass control, more volume, and more dynamic response... for $150. It took about 2 weeks for that one.
Keep in mind that if you are a pedal collector or just want bragging rights, I wouldn't advise you to look into a custom build. Custom builds tend to be best for players that have been through tons of pedals and are tired of trying the newest "biggest thing since sliced bread" only to get disappointed. A custom build will allow you to get just about any pedal built and tweaked in a way so as there is only one of them in the world - yours!
Custom builds, however, worry less about prettiness and much more about tone quality.
Let me know if there is a tone that YOU want and haven't been able to get yet - chances are I can get you there.
