BYOC Armstrong Twin

Here's an Armstrong Twin clone I built from a kit available at www.buildyourownclone.com. Great place, lots of info, and these pedal kits sound wonderful. I call it the 'compressionring'. Three sounds - compressor, ringer, and both (compressor into ringer) - it's not really a ring modulator, to me it sounds more like an octavia. The setup in this video is a Mexican Tele with Kinman pickups into the pedal, then into a 1x12 18 watt Marshall clone with a G12H30 speaker. The amp has power scaling installed, and I had it down quite a bit. This pedal is a blast! For the 'ringer' portion, it's best to play it on your neck pickup around the 9th - 15th frets or so, as you would an octavia pedal.

Dude! I am seriously digging your playing man!

And the pedal sounds super sweet too! Kinda subtle, but in a very good way.

I'm wondering though; does it do a serious, more obnoxious sort of ringmod thing aswell, or is it mostly octavia? (I mean, apart from the compressor stuff of course!)

Keep it up!

[Jeffrey Rutland]

yeah, it's more of an octavia thing... not a gain pedal by any means...

[jtp0213]
