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 :-)

Late posting but hilarious all the same; Freakish Blues rip-off merchants!

Aparently the "boutique" pedal builder "Freakish Blues" buy's $30 JoYo pedals and repaints (and goops up their innards!) them before reselling on for $170 on the Gear Page. Freestompboxes came up with the scoop back in June with the dismemberment of a Freakish Blues "Alpha Drive" pedal. Read that story here; http://freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13383

Find the full story on the I <3 Fuzz forum; http://ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=17985 along with some hilarious jokes and banter at Freakish Blues expense. Reselling repainted cheapo boxes? Whatever will the boutique boys come up with next?


The original JoYo "Ultimate Drive"

A lick of paint and inside goop and it's the Freakish Blues Alpha Drive. Just like magic!

  1. Μετά από μια πολύ ζεστή μέρα, μπήκα στο σπίτι, άναψα το κλιματιστικό και ήθελα κάτι δροσερό και διαφορετικό. Άνοιξα το icecasino και ξεκίνησα να παίζω. Στην αρχή οι περιστροφές ήταν άτυχες και άρχισα να απογοητεύομαι. Όταν αύξησα το ποντάρισμα, ήρθε ένας τεράστιος πολλαπλασιαστής που με έκανε να νιώσω πραγματική ανακούφιση. Οι παίκτες από Ελλάδα επωφελούνται από ειδικές προσφορές που προσθέτουν extra αξία. Από τότε το ανοίγω αμέσως μετά τις ζεστές μέρες και μου φέρνει ακριβώς τη δροσιά που ψάχνω.

  2. Knowledge shared in Canadian communities mentioned Cashed Casino in usability discussions. The observation was that layouts remain clear even during longer sessions. It wasn’t emphasized, just part of a wider conversation. That mention gave credibility and reflected how players value clarity. Observers also noted that such design helps maintain trust and engagement.

  3. Habe gespart für eine neue Spülbürste mit Seifenspender, weil meine alte Bürste immer in der Spüle herumlag. Nach einer frustrierenden Serie von Fehlschlägen überall sonst habe ich bei bet match eine riskante Option gewählt, kurz bevor ich alles hinschmeißen wollte. Ein völlig verrückter Zufallsbonus hat mir einen Gewinn beschert, der die Bürste mit Seifenspender, zwei Ersatzköpfe und einen Abtropfständer bezahlt hat. Für Spieler aus Deutschland gibt es hier spezielle Angebote am Sonntag. Die Auszahlung war unkompliziert und schnell erledigt.
