Title: Cigar Box guitar Overdrive/Distortion pedal
Post by: TIMBO on September 20, 2017, 02:47:24 am

Hi guys, I'm looking for a simple but effective drive pedal for my CBG.

Veroboard design would be great.

Timbo look at the veroboard site for Red Rooster good clean type boost . Or Red Llama for simple but effective distortion pedel. Geezer turned me on to the Red Rooster. Great clean boost with a good sound . I have to build another, I let myself get talked out of it.
LOL Bill
