Thanks Steve - with that I can cross the SL off my list...

Gain Changer sounds promising... glad to hear it's working out for you.

If I take the SL off the board, I'll send it to you and let you review it. 
But I'll have to find something that fits the bill and fit the space first, so that may be a while.

If you have a need for a low gain overdrive pedal, try a King of Tone
(or a Prince of tone - the KOT is basically 2 POT's in a box)
It really makes Tele's sound good!  (even mine!)

Actually I do kind of understand it. As a design engineer I thought the Rockman would trigger an evolution toward direct guitar to signal processing and in some areas it has, but old school will remain set in old ways too.

John - that did happen in the late 80's/90s - many moved to a rack mount system. I sold my Music Man 410 RD for an ADA MP1 MIDI Preamp, an SPX 90, and an ADA MicroCab speaker emulator, and played direct into the PA. I got back into tube amps around 2000 when I started to play out live more and we had a horrible underpowered PA. The ADA MP1 and my setup lived until about 2009, when one day it let out the magic smoke and that was it. Company long gone, sold it for parts.

Steve - you're too kind. We're in the midst of rehearsals for shows, and for low gain I actually use my Direct Drive, or have found the EP Booster kicks the Tremolux enough to get grit. Appreciate the offer, but no need to send.


Analogman is great stuff and I did notice it on your board. Apparently Fargen had a new pedal (Xotic size) they showed at NAMM called TBF, or Tele's Best Friend. Could be fun for me, as I switch between a single coil Tele and my Duncan JB-equipped Tele Paul in shows...
