Finally finished building this project in metallic chocolate brown finish. It is totally worth it. I attempt to put a decal on it but i have no laser printer and couldn’t find for now a local printing service near my location. But in the future i will definitely add the decal design of it.

This pedal fired up right away upon testing with no hick ups.

For the British channel, I used socket and chose to use 1N4148 instead of the LED (just my preference because of the type of music I play). For the tweed, i think i still need to tweak it more to find the sweet spot. For me it sounds like fuzz or muff effect. I already check some videos of the original 5E3 Tweed amp on YT. I might use it to tweak that tweed channel by ear.

Highlights of these pedal are:

-Almost quiet as in I cannot hear annoying noise even with the gain at almost maximum on the British channel.

-I loved the twang of the rangemaster on my Fender single coils and so responsive on volume knob adjustment (I can hear Joe Walsh twang riff on “life in the fast lane”). I should say it really does the sweet twang. Snarly, growly, biting but in a good way

-The British and rangemaster is truly a sweet combo. I set the gain at 10 o’clock of the the British channel while the boost of the rangemaster at 9 or 10 o’clock, backed the volume pot on my strat at like 6 or 4, sounds heaven.

This pedal will definitely be on my pedalboard this July once I do a reunion gig with my former band of late 90s to mid 2000. We played mostly old songs of Steely Dan, America, Doobie Brothers, James Taylor, Beatles, etc. This pedal will surely have its spotlight.

I should say I built some combo pedals in the past (from other sellers, no offense) but I was really disappointed by the results. All three combo pedals I built had the same issue for which I discovered the cause. It was a design flaw of how the circuits were traced from the original pedals.

This NostalgiTone 70s is a winner. It is a carefully thought designed circuit.

So, thank you Barry for the excellent work!
