Green Octaver 1 PCB 1-3/8" x 1-1/4"
36 mm x 31 mm		 N/A Octave Up

Clean Blend is listed as a test tool to help insert clean tone so distortion tones don't get lost. Green Octaver is a PC board for the Armstrong Green Ringer. We may include/combine it into a pedal if it strikes us as a good idea. If, after testing, the inclusion actually ends up making a pedal better, we'll keep it in there.

EQ Development Pack

This isn't a pedal, but we're having to do all the same work (actually, it's more) that we would have to do in order to build a pedal, so we're including it here.

PCB Mania offers all their tone stack PCBs in a single discounted package. At the time we purchased this, we questioned ourselves as to whether or not we were being stupid for buying this pack, but obviously, we bought it anyway.

It seemed to us (at the time, and still now) that the best way to use these tone stacks would be to package them together in a single enclosure for circuit development / investigation efforts. So we're building out these PCBs and combining them into a single enclosure. This is so we can make all of the different tone stacks available in a selectable manner. The idea is to make new tone shaping options accessible, for use in, or for interaction with, any effects. Specifically we're interested combining with preamps where we may wish investigate using different tone stacks to find the optimal sounding result.

We always try to match the smallest enclosure possible taking into consideration the PCB and any controls that need to be fitted. Given preliminary attempts to match out the PCBs to the optimal enclosures, right now the 1550G appears to be a reasonable size (Though . In this case, obtaining a 5-pole 5-throw rotary switch (to switch power in/out, signal in/out, and an "active" indicator to select between the various tone stack PCBs) seems to be forcing us into the larger enclosures that Hammond makes. Vertical alignment of the PCBs in the enclosure appears to make a smaller enclosure possible. The 6P5T rotary we were able to find at a reasonable price is deeper (about 2 inches total) than any other rotaries we've spec'ed out for a build.
