Homebrew ie home made Levell Overdrive.mp4

Homebrew ie home made pedal i just finished making...the Levell Overdrive is what I'm calling it....

it is housed in a Levell Oscillator box, which is steel and made in the 1960's in Barnet (where I grew up)...apparently a Levell Oscillator TG 150M such as this one was part of the Beatles Abbey Road kit ..the big dial in the middle would be "played" along with the track and would essentially control the speed of the second tape machine..when mixed with the first tape machine, a kind of flanging would result......apparently Clapton's lead guitar on While My Guitar Gently weeps had this effect..

i didn't know this when I bought the box for the project...weird coincidence....

Wow! Are there patent issues that would hinder you from marketing this? LOVE the sound. BTW, love the playing as well. GREAT work! Could all of this be compressed in size enough to hang on a guitarist's waist or strap? Anyway, THANKS for this great post!

@ThLuckyOne Thanks sire, I make these just for fun and for gigging and occasionally for friends.....I just tried ot with a bigger cab, a 4x12 and it sounds great...probably do a vid of that soon....and get a better mic placement, this one is a bit thin

What is the thing based on circuit wise? I read you designed the circuit yourselfes, but assume you had a starting point. I think it sounds aweseome tube-like; my own Zendrive clone doesn't come close (only my YBA-1 does ;-) )
