I guess the moral of the story is: Never do business with someone who calls you by nicknames like "son"
Unless of course you are working with your dad.

Although I do not think it is the typical experience for builders, I think no matter what you do you can learn from it.PurplePeopleEater wrote:That's a story that every DIY pedal and amp builder should read. Awesome. Horrible. Entertaining. Frustrating. Eye opening.
tell me about it.I suppose if it's a choice between feeding your family at getting fired it's even harder to make.

We don't need a scheme for that. A good sounding TS build is a good sounding TS build - anyone can do that... I think that was the point he was trying to make - that there isn't anything special about the circuit that would make it wildly different from any other TS derivative.
Clay has stated before that the CJOD was a happy mistake that came about from trying to build a compressor. Yet after reading his side of the story I came away with the impression that the CJOD may be based on the TS. Either way the only one who knows for sure is Clay and I highly doubt he'll tell us.soulsonic wrote:I thought Clay said that his thing was just a slightly modded TS?
Thanks for sharing, stick around and talk stomps! it is free, we could all learn something and be one step closer to proper pedal engineers.lrgrbt wrote:Hello again guys...
One last bit of explanation on this whole deal before I drift away and float back into the world of anonymity.
The ONLY reason I brought this response to this message board is because as long as I have known Mr. Jones anytime he had any sort of beef with anyone he would seldom go to that person directly and hash things out one on one. More often he would take them to task in an open and public setting. That was the case here. I was taught as manager of operations that if someone took you to task in a public forum you should deal with it immediately in the same forum.
When this whole thing spun up I tried to call him several times, Sent Emails etc. The only thing I did not do is go to his home. So knowing he was not going to talk with me directly I responded here. That way I knew he would at least read what I had to say.
Sorry to have bothered you guys with such things.
Sorry even more that a fellow I thought was a friend really wasn't at all.
Happy Holidays to all.
Peace, Over and Out,....

That's how I read it, and I got the impression it was based on an undisclosed DanElectro that he'd played with.Nimbus Rodus wrote:Hmmm....If I read the story right the first pedal Clay built for the "player" was based on a Tube Screamer. But, said player did not pick that one, he chose one of the other two misfit pedals which is what became the CJOD. It might be TS based, but Clay never does say....
