My buddy has done it again, pedal magic!

Haven't had a chance to delve in and read details but looks badass. I knew he had something in the works but he couldn't tell me details ???

Sweet. I really regret not getting griff’s noble clone when I had the chance. I like the sound.

Yeah I think all of it is good and you are right, perspective, etc. I think it is similar with pickups.

I gotta say ...... I do love the new style of the enclosure ..... and those knobs are totally bad ass ..... makes me want to look around for more options for designing the look of a pedal . Like .... can I get those in red ???? lol

Lol, exactly! They have some clear versions of the Halo I think.

Hey man, not sure if you know Robert's story but he was modding pedals just like you do on Harmony Central back in the day. He kept doing them and took off and then the Compressor just sent it off the rail.

Oh I know who he is .... his story ... well as much as I have run into online .... his seeing eye mod is what got me started waaaaaayyyyy back mid 2000's
him and Mike from Analogman .....
nothing but total respect for both guys ....

and I still have a few pedals from both guys kicking around .... my Keeley 4 knob compressor is hard to beat

It costs a lot more to run a brick and mortar business.

$200 is the new $160, I doubt the factors in the pricing are much in his control unless he is starting a charity. Still a lifetime piece of gear. Looks really nice and I would guess it will be fairly popular. I actually wouldn't mind trying one and I mostly don't like OD boxes. I had his 4 knob compressor, a really good unit, it ultimately didn't work for what I was trying to do but I would gladly try any of his stuff. Seems like a pretty legit dude to me in the interview I read, very into what he is doing.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

I feel like I would have liked to have seen a separate side for the boost on it's own because i am more of a light OD for rythm and then kick in a tad more for lead type feller. I like a clean boost that can be sculpted from fat to lean so I can control the lead tone. But it's a cool pedal. I suppose 200$ can be seen as cheap but if it is supporting an American or North American business, I don't mind the slightly heftier price tag.

You need two brother, lol

Agreed. It looks great. Amazing even.

The SED and Analogman DS1s were my first "boutique" pedals. Then I found ProGuitarShop and Gearmandude on Youtube, started with Barber pedals, all downhill from there. Now I have a ton of pedals.

The more I look at this thing and listen to demos the more I want to order one at least just to try it. It has TS settings and TS type pedals are usually my go to but some of the demos using humbuckers at lower gain sounds pretty killer using the nobels switches.

That’s standard these days, if not a lot more.

I'll be honest, I didn't know anything about the Noble. I think it is cool being able to use the switches to create new sounds.

When he did his D&M pedal years ago, I knew he was on to something with having two overdrive or boost pedals together. They have an analyzer so they can do some cool things with looking at frequency ranges, etc.

Haven't ever tried the D & M drive ........ I know putting a screamer in front of a Klon yields some very cool sonic fun !

Prior to getting the Halo, it was absolutely my favorite pedal he did and I've used it for years. I've been able to use both at the same time at lower settings with the gain down on my 5150-III and very usable.

It is so interesting to me how you, Robert and others do these cool things with tones and even the way a pedal looks with the lights or knobs, etc. Pedals are great tools for sure.

out of the whole process of building / designing a pedal ..... the over all " aesthetic design " part is my favorite .... now that I'm having the enclosures UV printed .... the better I get with Adobe Illustrator the better and easier it is to design ....
