Green Ringer Clone: Way Cool!

[fdesalvo]

I put this together in about an hour.  I had gotten so rusty at decoding resistor color bands lol.  Anyhoo, she went together without a hitch and relatively pain-free, I might add.  The effect is very cool - think Jimi Hendrix/Kenny Wayne Shepard.  A lil' dab'll do ya.

The effect is very subtle when using the bridge pickup or any pickup or combo along the lower frets - BUT!  Switch to the neck pickup and anything at/above the 12th fret is just magical.  This is not for chording - single notes only! 

Note - do not run a fuzz in front of it unless you want spitty, trash!  Also - do not roll the volume back or you will get an 8 bit Nintendo tone- wait, that might be cool.    :guitarplayer2:  I may try putting it before the fuzz.  Running the Timmy into it works out great.

I'm thinking of building one of these.  BYOC has a kit that has one of these and a compressor in the same circuit, sounds really tight!

Indeed!  The only thing is you can't power byoc pedals without a battery. Im trying to find a work around. I bought this kit from General Guitar Gadgets because byoc quit carrying this kit.

They have DC jacks on all the kits actually

Yeah, the BYOC analog delay and the analog flange have to have external power because they need so much current for the analog bucket brigade delay chips.  A 9V would only last about 90 min, or so they say.

They may all have dc jacks, but I can't run my blues breaker clone off of it. There's much discussion around this over at their forum.  Obviously doesn't pertain to all their pedals tho.
