I have liked the cheaper Presonus stuff. Many of the other small interfaces don't have MIDI In/Out, which is mandatory for me.

The Julia is basically a modded Boss CE-2, that gives more tweaking options to the base tone.

Its pretty cool. You can plug it into the computer and change all kinds of settings. 0% to 100% mix, and you can set it if you want true stereo, dual mono, etc.. and true or buffered bypass. You can also load in sounds from their Flanger and Phaser pedals in the series.

One that comes to mind is the Source Audio Gemini.

^ Yep, that is the diagram. I made a few awhile back.

Digitech CR-7

Chorus and Delay

I would imagine the basic EQ portion would be close on all of them. It is a pretty simple circuit. Many of the modern takes use a TL071 or TL072 instead of the 741 which was in the original since the 741 was much noisier than newer chips. I think one of the original transistors is obsolete now...

I did the Chugga Pre years ago, and the Isoceles last year with the TCPre, 33, and Grind modes. I don't have the Aion version, but I have built several things from them, and their boards are solid. Out of the 2 I have, I think the Isosceles is better.

Hard to pick just one. I build a lot of my own pedals, so I would probably say my VFE Ice Scream Clone, Buxon Boost Clone, or BYOC Green Pony (Maxon OD 820 Clone).

The BD-2 is a JFET based pedal, instead of an Op-Amp based pedal like most Tubescreamers. This gives it a different sound and feel. IMO, JFET based drive pedals tend to sound better when used alone into a clean sound than Op-Amp only pedals. I don't know why, but after building many, I tend to...

Love that album, and Coal Chamber in general.

Looks like they have remodeled a bit since last year when I was there. More different guitar walls than what they used to have.

Everyone bought up everything they wanted last year when things were selling like crazy. Not to mention the crazy prices now. I have been buying tons of parts and such to make tons of pedals myself, but haven't bought anything commercial in awhile.

The CBAOD is kinda similar, but I find it thinner overall. It kind of feels flat next to the Rhino. One thing I love about the Rhino is the feel. It has kind of a weird squishy feel to it many TS's dont have,
