Hi all
Very new to DIY pedals and would like some advice. After trawling around came across the Tone Bully demo with Blue Saraceno. Can some one advise on which pedals could emulate that setup/sound .
Just love the sound of the two sides combined.

a suggestion would be;
Orange booster, treble/bass switchable germanium booster

perhaps into a 3 knob tonebender

and a English channel for something that might be similar to a selmer truvoice?

put the two first in a box with a bypass switch for each and it should be somewhat like the
tone bully :)ยด.  I think...

All of the Saraceno pedals are old designs being reworked/regurgitated.  Based on some very hard to see gutshots, I believe that that one is a Germanium booster with switchable input caps running into a Ge Tone Bender Mk II.  If you search the archives, you'll find all sorts of info on these designs.

Thanks for your help guys.Will check out those links .Man those Dirty Boy pedals are expensive  :o  Just got into DIY pedals and just finished my first a TS-808 by Das Musikding in Germany. Got hooked now !! I have little or no knowledge of electronics so no doubt I will be back to bug you with some dumb questions  ;)
Thanks
