I actually love the fine character of the Deco , I used it in a recent recording over my Hudson Broadcast and ss/bs mini. I seem to remember that the secondary function for one of the knobs is a tone control for the saturation and the low gain sounds are great BUT it's alot of pedal for alot of money. You can grab a used one for around 225. I'm still finding my way with it but the double tracking can also be a chorus, flanger or delay so it's pretty versatile

Bonus round: pair it with a Hudson broadcast to have both a neve preamp front end with neve eq!

Well I know the hpf is set to 40hz so that might help with keeping things tight. I noticed an audible difference even playing through studio monitors.

I've got one. Super duper powerful eq, the lpf and hpf are a great touch however the lpf is based at 3k which I would usually think is a little low for me but the other controls make up for it and from what I understand, the drop-off isn't as steep as on some other lpfs. So it all balances out and allows me to get some cab-sim sounds when I DI. I'm not in any gigging bands at the moment but it's a great tool for recording everything, guitars, bass, vocals. I did think at the time "why don't I get the vtbass DI instead? Or the two notes lebass" but this has a great eq and small footprint and isn't just for one instrument. The deep down truth is that I bought a spotless b-stock qstrip in the states from prymaxe. The b-stock discount, coupled with the other discounts they offer and the fact that I could get free shipping to my father in law's and then just bring it home meant that I paid about £160 for it. At that price, I'm very happy. At the UK price of £308? I don't think I would get enough value out of it to justify the cost.

As sad as it is to say, i think this thread kinda killed it for me, a little bit, and for all the right reasons. I don't have the technical knowledge to know if my ideas will work practically, it's a pretty saturated market, especially when you're not reinventing the wheel and if you are then you may have an even smaller audience base. I kinda like the idea of a fun project and don't mind dropping some dollar on getting it together. I still love the idea of having my own brand, my own spec of pedals that i could sell to others if the interest was there. I'll see who responds to me, if one of the people i messaged today does and thinks they can do what i want them ill get a pedal made.

Thanks all of you, The ideas i have are not ground breaking to be honest, nor are they meant to be. My primary idea is to release a "staples" line, a boost, a light overdrive and maybe a fuzz all based on existing designs with some modifications (for a start, i want everything to work equally as well on bass as guitar so maybe larger input caps on some of the circuits, or something, you get my drift-my thinking is that a good pedal builder should have some understanding of how to modify a circuit for better bass response if somebody, ie me, asks them too). Let's face it, at least 70% of pedals of there are based on something else. I already know what circuits i want to base them off, but i absolutely understand that because i don't really know how circuits are put together i am making some massive assumptions on the ease of modification and the willingness of a builder to do the work, but as i mentioned, I'm willing to pay the agreed price upfront so the builder won't lose out. I want to make some simple to use pedals that sound great on bass and guitar. I don't want to get into "mass" production, i would order very small batches of each pedal and if i sell out then i would order another small batch. I wouldn't intend on this being a real job, more like a semi-lucrative hobby. Getting good quality audio demos won't be a problem. Good quality video is a bit more of a stretch but not impossible. It still sounds like a fun idea for me but might be worth me finding out if i could get "prototypes" build as a proof of concept, ie get X builder to make me a fuzz based on Y circuit with A,B and C modifications, I've done it before, actually with Sleeping Dog FX and SFX in the past but those were more niche designs that had limited appeal outside of my own tastes and musical needs.
