This is my first attempt at building a guitar pedal. I chose the General Guitar Gadgets clone of the Dan Armstrong "Green Ringer". I was looking for an "Octave Up" pedal, and the Green Ringer seemed best because it was not coupled with distortion. I also liked the simplicity, being that this was a first project.Construction went smoothly, and the pedal worked as soon as it was completed. I decided against painting the pedal and opted for a funky brushed look using a Dremel. Imho the Green ringer sounds best with a Les Paul/Neck Pickup/tone control all the way down... Then massive amounts of diode distortion next in the signal path. That gives maximum harmonic instability.
