In terms of gain stages I like the sound of Jfets second to tubes. The mu-amp arrangement has a BIG benefit in terms of building on scale, first a jfet is cheaper than a trim pot and you don't have to spend extra time tuning from the line and fielding down the road in CS. So it is a great building block for sure.
The DLS was an extension of the Habanero Fetish I made sometime around 2000. Like an idiot I was experimenting with patina of copper I made a copper faceplate for the Fetish and stuck the entire pedal guts and all in the bucket with ammonia. Needless to say the pedal died.![]()

what was the second switch for on the "Hanabero Fetish"?
(Hanabero Fetish, Chili Picoso... you do have a fetish for peppers)

Second switch switched out the second gain stage. The story goes about the habanero is I grew some when I was living in Kentucky, they grow GREAT there better than in Oregon. I had so many I didn't know what to do with them. I cut a few up and made a salsa or something I don't remember exactly. An hour later I went to take a leak and suddenly my junk began to burn to all hell. It really hurt bad and seemed to spread. My girlfriend at the time brought me a glass of milk, I jumped in the bathtub, and tossed the milk on the burning. The pain went away but damn those peppers were hot!

Most notably the BSIAB. I haven't heard it implemented in such a great-sounding way before this one, though. All previous incarnations left me feeling like I had chewed aluminum foil.

Oh wow, I had EXACTLY the same thing happen to me once after just handling some standard black pepper. I can only imagine how bad it would be with Habaneros!
And one time, I was cutting up those thin little red Chilies and got it first in one eye, and then both eyes... I stuck my face in the sink for about 10 minutes.![]()

The hotness of peppers and chilis comes from an etheric oil called capsaicin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin). It is not dilutable in water/hydrophobic. Therefore on any contact with sensitive bodyparts use milk, wheatoil, butter etc. to bind the stuff.
