    Indeed, a Golden Eagle is high on my GAS list.

    I wouldn't like to pick a favourite, but I reckon the Golden Eagle is my most-used pedal of the last 12 months.

    Cheers for all the positive feedback! Fredric Effects has been my full-time job for almost two years now, and while it has been difficult at times and hard work like any small business, it is also extremely rewarding. Being able to play guitar everyday is nice too, although by rights I should be better at it by now!

    Just approved the prototype for the new mini buffer enclosure. Quite conveniently, the circuit board fits! These little buffers are a useful thing to have around, and the new enclosures are about the smallest I could make them whilst accommodating the Cliff-style jacks.

    Haha, great!

    You can see why the production batch will be blue and adorned with artwork.

    In the 80s my Dad had an identical box that attached to the dashboard of his Audi Coupe with sticky foam. Periodically the red LED blinked - absolutely convincing the local villainy that the car had an alarm fitted and it'd be best left alone.

    Here's a nice group shot of everything we currently build. This lot is going to Davis Guitar Center in Singapore, and an identical batch is bound for Paris. Pretty busy week!

    Thanks Wazmeister!

    Mods, can this thread possibly be moved back to 'Made In The UK'?

    In other news...

    How does the Zombie differ from the Golden Eagle?

    Here's a great new demo of the Zombie Klone I've just found. It's A/B'd with a KTR, and sounds the same.

    I'm delighted to announce Vintage Guitar Boutique in Shoreditch now has a selection of Fredric Effects pedals in stock. 

    They've got an incredible collection of vintage Fenders in the basement too.

    Like this Jazzmaster @ £4,000!

    Crikey the Pocket Weasel and Mutant fuzz went for cheap on eBay. I was the winning bidder for ages and overslept the end of the auction :/
