Got another update. Below is a photo of the guts without cards. Per Ola, he's using Switchcraft jacks, ALP pots, true bybass switches and
Marushin DC-jack.

I heard from Ola today and my pedal is shipping tomorrow. I'm assuming Fatback's is probably on its way as well. I will post a review once I get it. Exciting!

Yes, I've started to deliver the 2 in 1 pedal (ODdBoost) to people who had signed up for one in the first batch(10 built). Feels good to have sent the first ones since my estimated time for building one unit has way passed what I thought, and I really appreciate your patience.
My story is that I'm a part timer musican/part time service tech and in the meantime I make pedals. During the summertime here in Sweden it's lots
of gigs for me and at the same time many thing brookes down for others, so I'm very busy . It's in the middle of this period my pedals got good responce from you people who had tested them. I'm very glad for all the orders and all reflections about those two pedals who had became one pedal.

Thank you very much

Hi

Now I have translated my website http://www.olainsulander.com.
I will try to update it soon with the ODdBoost and maybe some new models. I will also add some soundclips.

Posting my thoughts would require I stop playing with the ODdBoost for a few minutes. I hope you understand this is a huge sacrifice I'm making. :lol:

I can honestly say this is just what the doctor ordered. The OD and Boost sides are great on their own. The OD sounds very amp-like and retains clarity with large chords. The Boost is a great clean boost that can really slam the amp's front-end. The cool thing about the Boost -> OD stack is that you get killer tone shaping in addition to the gobs of greasy goodness. I'm still making friends with the OD -> Boost stack.

This thing is just freakin' awesome!

After spending more time with it, my only complaint is that I kinda wish there was more gain on tap on the OD side. It's a stellar pedal, though!
