Picked up a second hand Golden Eagle on this very forum- what a great pedal! What’s the difference between that and the zombie clone? Subtle or way different? If they are similar I fancy one- if not I may even get another GE!

I've just picked up a Golden Eagle from a fellow TFB'r and it's fantastic..

They are exactly the same pedal but in a different enclosure..

Really? Why would one do that?

timhulio · January 2019

Heya! Glad you like the Golden Eagle - it's exactly the same pedal as the Zombie Klone. The reason is... going back a few years I was selling lots of Zombie Klones via various forums. Only on TGP I kept getting asked for a Zombie Klone with more 'traditional' artwork/finish. Maybe people expect Klones to be gold? So I introduced the GE. Both pedals continue to sell well, so I'm not inclined to stop making either :-)

Ah! Thanks for the info!

@timhulio ;

Did you go any further with the KOT style pedal I saw in some previous posts?

Si

Yep it's on about the third revision. The KOT/Bluesbreaker always seemed a bit quiet to me, so I've tried to add a boost circuit which doesn't effect the character of the overdrive, which can be removed entirely via DIP switches. But my head keeps being turned by other, weirder circuits!

timhulio · January 2019

Like this! One of the new pedals launching at the UK Guitar Show next month :-)

That looks interesting- I’ll be at the show so will pop over..

timhulio · February 2019

Here's the first examples of a couple of new pedals which will launch at The Guitar Show later this month. Dresden Synth Fuzz (MkII) and the Verzerrer.

Really like those new enclosures - look superb.
What is the overall size of the pedal like - same/bigger than Boss/TC? Assume bigger than MXR...
And is this the shape of Fredrik's to come (like maybe the Bluesbreaker that was in the works)?

timhulio · February 2019

Thanks! Glad you like them. I really like having more space to work with in these enclosures, and the metal fabricators did a great job. I did go to some trouble to make the Bluesbreaker/KOT circuit board mini-sized, so we'll have to see if that ends-up in the wedge enclosures. I think some of those interested in that pedal might appreciate top-mounted jacks though.

Top mounted jacks FTW!

Howdy, Stranger!
