I managed to get the mother of all brown sounds that I have been able to achieve without diming my Super Reverb. 1). 1st pedal in chain - BOSS CS-3 (level,tone and attack all @ max, sustain at 9:30) 2). Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret (MKII?) set to Super Lead and with Tone @ 2:00, Loudness and Gain @max 3). ISP Decimator (regular non G string) into my 1966 Princeton Reverb (treble-10, bass-4.5, reverb-4) I can get a good bedroom level with volume on 2 I couldn't get the DLS to work quite right without chaining up the CS-3 (my Tone Press was simply not up to the job). It was really weird that I got the tone and the feel with the sustain so damn low... I have none of the noticeable squish and sag of using a good amount of sustain but seem to have sustain for days. So, the Catalinbread DLS is supposed to be a "stackable" pedal and I can attest to it's glory when paired with the right pedal and a magic amp... by itself, it was irritatingly close to what I was looking for but just far enough away to make me think that the answer to the brown sound lay elsewhere. My soul is jumping up and down inside, this is truly some serious s**t that I am experiencing (I can't wait to try an EP-3 preamp clone in the chain too). I feel like this guy.

Jol sent me a pic of the Redwood top he will be using on my new guitar - OH BOY...SICK...

(From a guy well known for his patience!) :D :D

These threads are extra awesome when its your own project that shows up. I highly recommend it.

No, only KFC chicken - the sponsor.

Is the HFC mentioned in the book?

Update: The layout sheets arrived. It's what the book will actually look like. If I could describe it in one word, I'd probably pick "wow!" They knocked this one out of the park. A few caption and photo edits and we're ready for the printer!!
