My one thousandth guitar pedal is in the books!!! The aptly named 1E3 Boost celebrates this silly milestone with something truly not fancy at all. A nice, tasteful, utilitarian booster and line driver. Clean volume boost of up to 20 dB, nothing more. Got a limited number of them for the special price of $120 post paid. Get at me if interested.

Balls VIP-30 combo. The circuit is kinda like an AC30, but the normal and brilliant channels merge *before* the Vox top boost, kinda like a jumpered plexi (oh and no tremolo channel, either). Normal and brilliant volume controls to blend the two signals, full tone stack, and a *proper* master volume to allow adjustment for all use cases. 1x12 with a Celestion Vintage 30. Rock 'n roll dream machine.

Powerful Booster. Direct clone of the 18V Colorsound Power Booster. A while ago I made a limited run of these for Tommy's Guitar in Everett, WA. A customer had one of those original ones and wanted a second one.

Balls BF-50: Ballsmom Edition. AB165 Bassman circuit, normal channel only, added master volume. A couple of changes were made to my standard head configuration to try and keep this one as small as possible. 15" x 9" x 8.25". 23 lbs. UK voltage.
