Welcome to the Revolution

Hi there, welcome to my blog - La Revolution Deux. It's an odd name - but I like it! Here you will find all the info on my various DIY Guitar effects builds, amplifiers and guitars. Everything from a humble Ibanez tubescreamer to the holiest KLON Overdrive.

You may also find a few effects builds that I am looking to move on - usually in exchange for other effects/gear/cash. You can always check my ebay account to see what I've got up for grabs.

Have fun, enjoy the blog - Fred Briggs :-)

  1. hola, llevo unos 45 años reparando todo tipo de elementos ligados a instrimentos musicales, y es muy grato poder hacer esto que vos estás haciendo... compartir información... en mi epoca lo que haciamos era, estar varias horas haciendo el relevamieto tecnico de algun equipo o efecto para poder fabricarlo, o simplemente para poder ampliar un manual inexistente para esa epoca (obviamente eramos muy celosos de ese tremendo trabajo y no lo compartiamos con nadie, jajaja, era oro en polvo... hoy tengo que decir... gracias!!!
