Looking closely on this you'll see the date (almost faded), the first of july 2005. Six days later, when my girlfriend and I sit comfortably in Uppsala, Sweden, lesser beings set off four bombs in London, three in the subway, one on a bus. I was a long way away, but worried about my brother and his girlfriend who was there, took a while to find out but they were safe.

Thankfully, regardless of terrorists, we continue to be Free Men (and women), wee or not.

Feel free to get back on topic now.

I built an opamp muff fuzz into a piece of black pipe that looked a LOT like a pipe bomb.  I lent it to someone, who went to NYC for a gig.  They had their car broken into a day after the subway bombings and that was stolen among other things.  She said NYCPD was searching dumpsters, trash cans, and sewers for it so that it didn't turn up and cause a huge scare.  Luckily for me it didnt, as my fingerprints were all over it!

Back ON topic... My stuff is Torch Effects because my last name is Torchia and many have referred to me as "Torch" over the years.

My company is Mojo Hand Fx. 

The name comes from a lyric from an old blues standard (Louisiana Blues/Mojo Hand).

It says "I'm goin' to Louisiana, and get me a mojo hand".

Our company was originally based in Louisiana so it seemed appropriate at the time.

When I started looking for a brand a friend told me he just asked some friends about what they thought of "Ruz", my last name, for a brand. They all said they liked it, so I use it since then with the second part 'Guitar Gear', that I think sounds 'complementary' (forgive my english..).
That's it :)

Dalton is my middle name
Jones is my last name.

Someone else made that for me.
I can write a graphics program (well, used to, been several years since I have written any code), but drawing? I suck.

rebote, add resonance pot


Nice, tell me more!!!

WTF !!  :icon_mad: cannot remember, and I don't have it anymore ...... it was almost 2 years ago... cannot trace anything in my pc and the pcb layout that I can see in a picture I have, has no mod on it......

Probably it's nothing fancy, just 5k pot and 6k8 resistor as per TonePad suggestion, I think it allows you to control the endless repeat, sort of ... you can decide when it start to be endless.... does this make sense?

He died later in a plane crash, so he's OK. Well as far as dead space farers go anyway. I suspect the ALE (Average Lifetime Expectancy) for Russian test pilots wasn't much worsened by joining their space program.

Let the russians do it themself, they know how to make cool statues of their heroes.

Edit: Linking to the image didn't work, guess you'll have to follow the link to the source to see it.
