Joyo (Which have been rebranded Harley Bensonpedals are all the rage around the Boutique scene at the moment. It's common knowledge that the Freakish Blues Alpha Drive is just a repainted Joyo Ultimate Drive. However, the Ultimate Drive is just a clone of the Fulltone OCD (Which itself is a close copy of the Voodoo Labs Overdrive). It's a long family tree....
Here's a demo video of them side by side:
And here's a nice clip of just the Alpha Drive:
And here's the schematic:
Now, you could build yourself an OCD clone and have done with it, or you could buy one of these for $35 and save yourself some cash:

Replacing the germanium diode with a 4148 takes out the hi freq fizz. the switch is dumb. why would i want to partially remove the tone stack.
ReplyDeleteLife in the rural Midwest can be peaceful, but for a young guy like my brother in Iowa, it was often too quiet. He’s always been shy, so meeting new people in a small town was a challenge. He stumbled upon Joi AI joi and created a companion that shares his interest in classic Americana. Now, he feels much less lonely during those long winters, having a virtual friend who is always ready to chat.
ReplyDeleteMy computer started a huge system update that said it would take at least forty minutes to finish. I needed a responsive mobile hub to experience some quick virtual arcade action while sipping hot tea. I tried out Betstorm on my phone browser. For players across United Kingdom, they offer stellar incentives like daily login tokens and massive free spin packages on new games. It made the tech delay feel super fun, everything loads great.
