Default suffer me a cross post/ my new website

necessary cross post:



I was fortunate to barter w/ some young designer and got the site built for hotrodding his Duojet!! here it is:

http://www.thenocturnebrain.com

There's been been a redevelopment of our first preamp from the Brain Seltzer,
to the Dyno Brain. The Brain Seltzer was/ is a my tribute to the RE-301 Space Echo. Its really great for a Filtertron'd Gretsch and a Bassman 6G6-B blonde amp,but
its got its limits.

After interest developed I wanted it to be something more to wider range of instruments and was dang determined to make it sound good w/ dynasonics and p90s.. so I let inspiration come from tvjones new "T-armond" dynasonic recreation and designed the new version of my preamp around these big rich, twangy pickups that have a high DC Resistance of 11K at the bridge..

This means my new preamp version will let gretsch players with dynasonics and strat players with greasy single coils, and gibsons w p90s all be able to get ahold of the same vibe and tone that the filtertron players are experiencing.
So the DYNO BRAIN is now my standard model!

The Brain Classic will be offered still as a custom build for those trying to channel the ol stray cats sonic stew. BUT..

The Dyno does that and covers some new twangy gretsch territory. The response from a wide group of players confirms I'm headed in a better direction, so ya, its on man!

ps, for those who have the Brain Classic and would like the dyno version, I can retrofit a new circuit board and pot in
for a flat fee that cover parts & shipping. email me.

of course the new color for july 4th
"STUNTMAN BLUE"

That's one hell of a good offer! I think I'll keep it as is, and get myself a Dyno later... I'm really happy with what the Classic does for my setup, and I also 100% agree with this:

do you think its worth paying to add a forum? D.A.M. pedals did and it worked really nice.
Other guys do this and its a ghost town in their forum..
wadda ya think?
