Hi,


Ah, the folk driver has landed and it's beautiful......thank you Soul Sonic!
..I'll write my impressions once I have played through it.
It came with an instruction sheet and I am most anxcious to check this out.

I understand that all levels can be covered in this project:
There will shortly be a Folk Driver in a tourbox, fully built units with something special will be available from Soul sonic and a kit is in the works; in other threads concerning the Folk Fuzz there are tuturials on basic wiring and stuffing of pcb's and if I remember correctly also some links to parts suppliers. I think it has been seen previously that help can be had on line should anyone get stuck or have questions.

Those who would rather just buy the finished pedal can do so from Soul Sonic.

Ah, just to make this more interesting I have through conversations with Briggs gotten a hint of what the Hummingbird will be.....and look forward to playing some rockriffs through that;)

Gentlemen have fun
BJ

I'll take some pictures of yours Bjorn, for some reason I built it in a different style than the other one I did. I just need to install the circuit within the enclosure and then we're done 8)

Yes, it has been revealed to me that I must return to Chicago next weekend and do it all over again! But this time it will be different - this time I will stop at Hot Doug's and consume copious amounts of Duck Fat fries.

But before I hospitalize myself, I guess I should get your Folk Driver built to send around to everyone. :lol:
This week!!! It will be built! 8)

Hi,

Try finding a Turkish resturant that serves cow stomach.

Alledgely that is the most powerful cure.

Large amounts of water and sleeping by an open window is less powerful but has reported effects

Have fun

Lots of water and fresh air is the best I've found. Then a LARGE English Breakfast when you wake up, or a few more pints of ale, whichever tickles your fancy. I also have these new "super painkillers" I picked up from a local chemist, they have all sorts of stuff in them to wake you up, calm your stomach and kill your headache; Genius!
