@@dchatterson great idea! Could be epic!

@@Fuzzbot71 I’ll have some special ones this weekend ready to ship!

@@jjarabejo305 thanks! Both my favorites!

That’s Sola tuned, but it’s tuned a bit further than usual. It will be available soon!

@@petergarcia8615 agreed! Hard to pick a favorite between these two!

@@killingtime77 I’d have to add in something else to capture the sound no matter what; a mic, a preamp, an interface, not to mention the speaker itself, all being something that colors the signal, and then still process that signal on the back end to upload it to the internet where ultimately you’ll hear it all come out as 0s and 1s. I play way too loud to record with just a cell phone unfortunately, the audio gets blown out. Mike

@@SeekerElectricEffectsare you being serious? You made a 45 minute video of your recording setup. These videos could not be any more manicured. You might as well just design a plugin. You have more processing going on with these clips than there is in a jar of Cheez Whizz. lol

@@killingtime77 I’m very happy with the sound, I prefer a polished sound that shares each fuzz in detail, it might not be for everyone and that’s ok. I also like to use reverb and delay for effect, but sometimes I’ll record dry. It would be difficult to accommodate your request for several reasons including the time of day I record (often 1-3AM), and simply not having the gear it would require to capture a polished and professional sound at my disposal. Mike

@@SeekerElectricEffects there are piles of videos that let the player hear the pedal and not a hundred points of signal processing. You should just skip germanium and move to plugins. You can polish those even more.

@@jonathonawarnberg thanks! No it’s a pretty straight up Tycobrahe Octsvia. The switch turns off the octave component, it’s pretty high gain overall compared to a fuzz face.

@@Shweg9140 Hey thanks! If you’re a MKI fan this SUPA MKI will be right at home in that family with a little different eq and feel. The hiwatt in the background isn’t on in this clip, the one being played (same amp) has the master just past noon with both channels jumped and both channels pushed past noon as well. Edge of breakup with the Tele bridge pickup. Fantastic amps being made now from the Hiwatt crew! Mike

@@Shweg9140 oh also sorry forgot to add, the model is the DR20/0.5 from their custom shop lineup. 20w DR103, same preamp, el84 power section. Perfect low volume big sound solution. Mike

Thank you, I'll check them out!

@@andy_fx yes that’s right. Thanks!

@@andy_fx 2m2 works well. Thanks!

@@SeekerElectricEffects Cool, I'll try here, I'll separate some transistors with sockets to see which kit is best for tuning later, thanks for the tips! ahhh one last question about transistors, I know it's not a cake recipe, but for a good start, what would be hfe and leakage for Q1, Q2 and Q3? Big hug from Brazil 🎶🎛️

@@andy_fx for system tuning like anything it’s to your taste but 50-70/110-130/70/110, leakage will matter a lot for but use your ears and check voltages. For a stock unmodded MKI - .300/.100/.080 ish would do the trick but this is why ear testing before is critical.

@@SeekerElectricEffects I understood! I'm already separating several transistors for hearing. Interesting, I thought the smallest leak was for Q2... and thank you for the valuable information, big hug 🎶🎛️

@@WadMartin Thanks! That’s it! It’s MKI but BIG.

@@killingtime77 I might try someday to mic it up for fun, I can’t always (this was recorded at 2am), but no matter what you do you’ll end up processing the sound somewhere, the OX is just a simple piece of gear that does the same job of several pieces of gear on the back end of the amp. In this context where it ends up uploading to the internet anyway, I find I get the clearest sound and representation of the sound of the pedal this way. A cell phone recording gets absolutely crushed without a mic, it’s too loud and sounds terrible, no dynamics etc. If you’re local you’re welcome to come check it out, or check one of my many dealers! Mike

@@SeekerElectricEffects I would respectfully disagree here. Playing into an amp like a Princeton with mic into an interface would be much more of a true representation. It doesn't get much more processed than using an OX, cab simulator, plugins and whatever else signal processing is happening here.

@@ConspiratorElec haha thanks! I would’ve also accepted nasty in a bad way 😈 a fun circuit for deconstruction / broken tones!

@@waskerbasket9601 it can be adjusted one way or the other as far as gating goes, if you prefer a wide open sound it can be done! Email me when you’re ready. Thanks!

@@lukamajcen-x6z good guess, definitely three transistors! A little simpler…

@@NightShazz9000 for these I believe they are done with a laser printer, professional stuff! I have done some waterslides in the past and I’ve seen some brush stencils that can work well for diy though! Thanks!

@@goerfton77 hello, thanks! The amp in this video is the @HiwattOfficial DR20/0.5, a newer model that’s like a low powered DR103. Here’s a link below… britampco.co.uk/hiwatt/shop/details/HW-DR20P5-HD-BLACK.html

@@SeekerElectricEffects cheers for that mate

@@R1GAMBLER thank you!

Love it sounds nasty the way i like it

@@paoloferrata8504 🙌

@@davidhornbeckmusic7487 a few fancy bits in this one!

@@jcoriha same! Although the new one is going to be KILLER!

@@SeekerElectricEffects Oh? Do tell....

@@nickthenail all in good time! I’ll be posting more videos about it soon.

I’ve got something in the works to get these out to the masses soon..!

@@SeekerElectricEffects 🫠⚡️❤️

Hey! This is an interesting thing to ponder. I’d love to make an original design in general BUT what keeps me from doing so is sales. More people like familiar designs and want to hear “my take” etc. unfortunately I could make new things I like all day long but if nobody buys them I’d be out of business pretty quickly! Maybe I’ll get there someday though. All that being said I do have an idea for an overdrive that would be somewhat original!? Might be fun to do a new octave, and I’ve even messed around with it some but I haven’t found anything that sounds as interesting as the classics. Mike

@@SeekerElectricEffects Start a 2nd company a side company making your own pedal designs for some side money while the Seeker is your main company the customers only want copied designs.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I prefer the feel of a speaker in the room but I’m sure my neighbors do not prefer this at 2am haha, I do have the ability to run a cab out of the OX and have before for some demos, I think I get the best results with this setup but it’s not always practical. I can try to do more demos in the middle of the day?! British Transistor upgrade is $50 on the FACE MODEL, and the three I have going up for sale this week will reflect that same pricing. Thanks for the feedback (hehe)! Mike

@@SeekerElectricEffects Appreciate your feedback and I totally understand about the neighbors (or neighborhood with that Hiwatt) not wanting guitar-feedback, no worries. Your demos sound great, I know I’ll enjoy the feedback I get with each one I get. I’m using the Oculus on a recording currently and it’s beautiful, Cheers!

Sola tuned, thanks!
