    Love Voodoo Lab stuff! I have a Superfuzz I use all the time

      They are built so well! I'm actually going to be modifying a Joyo Octave Fuzz to the Voodoo lab fuzz specs in a coming video.

    Having a clean blend is cool on an overdrive. Especially if you use another drive in front of it.

      I completely agree mate. I really like the TateFX Antares overdrive for it's clean blend. What's your favourite?

      @@hellosailoreffectsofficial I don't know really, I just had a Blackhawk amps overdrive that had one and it was a cool feature. It's on loan to a friend back in the states, and I'm itching to get it back and play with it.

    Great video pal. Would have liked to seen a zoom in on the PCB and switch to see how you wired it up.

      @ac30helix44 Thank you, mate. I'm so glad you have got some value from my video. I have a "beginners tubescreamer mod" video that goes deep into this very subject if you're interested mate.

    Great Video Joe! Note to self, make sure you don’t use Steel toe boots while stomping on switches. Haha. I am glad I was able to contribute in a way to this video. Cheers!

    I need to look at this band!!!! Will they be using this pedal to make music in the future?
    Love you tutorials BTW

      It was my main pedal for close to 30 years. The Sparkle Drive, and an echo pedal. Joe said he wanted me to try it after his mod. It sounds amazing! And I will be adding it back to my board! Joe is a magician.
